You’re Not Alone in Boilerplate Purgatory (Pull Up a Chair)

The feeling you can’t shake There’s that moment on a fresh repo when the cursor blinks back like, “So… Devise again?” You open a dozen tabs, promise yourself this time will be cleaner, and then spend an afternoon wiring JWT, Pundit, and Swagger while quietly bargaining with the calendar.
