Yeah it does make sense that my coding may just be very different from the average person on HN. I write a lot of code that has "never been seen before" per say. The main things that are generic for me are really just some basic loops for setting up pytorch DDP and calling my train function. But even those get modified. I do have some more boiler plate stuff but every copy to a new project gets more edits and improvements because of changes and learning from previous failure points (e.g. learning that I should enable my custom logger to track another thing because that was actually important for reproducibility).

But then again, I know people who work in similar areas that swear by it and I just can't figure it out. They tend to not share their code though so I'm not sure if it's truly bad or not. These people tend to have a CS background (undergrad) whereas I do not though so idk.
