Such starter kits exist, e.g. JHipster[1]. The problem is that after you've generated the starter code, this big heap of code (that you're not familiar with the details of) is now yours to maintain and upgrade.

Indeed. So the last mile is how to reconfigure after the fact. This has been a problem for a long time with builders.

Perhaps one solution is to compartmentalize additional changes and configurations so they can be managed a bit easier while the foundation is updated.

It’s not an easy problem to solve, but I think we might be better off if the great minds worked on this problem instead of the low level code AI.
