Develop Node.js applications without spending time on repetitive coding tasks

On the home page, the benefits for a full-stack developer is that it sets up a boilerplate for you using Nest, Prisma, GraphQL and with built in auth. However, this just seems like any other boilerplate but without the extra complexity and pricing plans. It's not hard to set these up. Plenty of official documentations for these integrations.

My problem with this approach as a FS developer is that whenever I want to fix nasty issues or do something more customizable, I have to dive into the autogenerated code. In other words, I have to learn how things work anyways. Why not just set it up myself so I know exactly what's going on?

The pricing plan is also a bit confusing. It charges based on the number of developers, IE $200/month for a team of 10 developers. But if you have 10 developers, you most certainly have the time and expertise to set up a custom server with the same functionality and without all the magic.

For a front-end dev, it advertises that you don't need to write a backend because it generates one for you. But if you don't know how to write a backend, then you should stick to something like Firebase or Supabase. Otherwise, you might have to dive into gnarly Nest.js dependency injection syntax, Prisma, and auth eventually.
