The tech to quickly spin up MVP apps has been around for a while now. It gets you from a troubling blank slate to something with structure, something you can shape and build on.

I am of course talking about

  npx create-{template name}
Or your language of choice's equivalent (or git clone template-repo).

Yes, but the LLM driven MVP-s are not only builerplates but actual functioning apps. The "create-" is somewhat good, but it's usually throwaway code and do it properly later. While my LLM made boilerplate is the actual first few steps to get the boring parts done. It also needs refactoring and polishing, but it's an order of magnitude better than the "MVP helper tooling" before.
