If boilerplate was such a big issue, we should have worked on improving code generation. In fact, many tools and frameworks exist that did this already:
- rails has fantastic code generation for CRUD use cases
- intelliJ IDEs have been able to do many types of refactors and class generation that included some of the boilerplate
I haven't reached a conclusion on this train of thought yet, though.
