If you work at an agency or as a freelancer and you build various similar apps with similar tooling and base setup, being able to scaffold and have them all setup quickly, not having to do it manually and waste hours id important. Similarly, if you work on various small open source packages, you want the tooling to be the same, READMEs look the same, etc, a script or tool to “spit out” the basic structure can be nice.
On the other hand, if you set up the app or larger open source package and you’ll work only on that project for potentially years, setting up a project individually, organically makes a lot of sense.
I’m legitimately curious about what you enjoy and why. Rewriting boiler plate code and trying to ensure that I get everything right with a process I don’t often execute is the very definition of toil to me.
