> [LLMs] save me a ton of time doing either boilerplate work

I hear this frequently from LLM aficionados. I have a couple of questions about it:

1) If there is so much boilerplate that it takes a significant amount of coding time, why haven't you invested in abstracting it away?

2) The time spent actually writing code is not typically the bottleneck in implementing a system. How much do you really save over the development lifecycle when you have to review the LLM output in any case?
