What boilerplate is there in rails?
1 comments

html is like 90% boilerplate, and so .html.erb in rails is mostly boilerplate.
We have the component architecture pattern to reduce the amount of html we have to write. If you’re duplicating html element in every page, that’s mostly on you. There’s a reason every template language have include statement. That’s a problem that’s been solved for ages.
