"(I personally don't mind coding boilerplate stuff, especially since I can learn how the framework works that way)"

^ Isn't that what folks used to say about programming in assembler? How much time do I want to spend learning frameworks (beyond what I already know) vs. how productive do I want to be?

I fully sympathise with this analogy and I think I have used it before myself. But there is a tremendous difference in practice. A compiler doesn’t produce randomly different code each time you run it, while an LLM, no matter how good will. At which point if something breaks, you have to take the reins.
