I came to the realization that I'm using gpt more and more for getting my boilerplate code and I'm starting to feel a bit guilty about it tbh.

Maybe I shouldn't, though I justify it because it allows me to focus on the bespoke bits of whatever I'm doing...

Feels a bit double edged to me still.

I never write boiler plate code , am I weird ?

Even when I do need some, I use swagger or copier templates or something similar.

If you’re using ChatGPT for scaffolding, I feel you’ve fucked up?

I'm not a developer mind you but devops. And while I reuse code regularly as well, when new projects come up, I'll ramp up with said boilerplate. Though thats typically in only required if it's something new.
