Boilerplates Are The New Copy-Paste
summary
Shows that common JavaScript boilerplates—especially in React ecosystems—bring far more code, files and transitive dependencies than projects actually need, which increases bundle size, debugging surface and team learning curve and causes surprising build/runtime failures. Recommends trimming boilerplates to only the tools actually used, rebuilding a minimal setup, and measuring bundle size and running tests to verify behavior.
