I wish there was some kind of software or something where you could code your site as an overall project and make changes across the board without having to copy/paste over 342342 documents. I like neocities editor a lot, but it's also so cumbersome.

Check out the Neocities CLI. https://neocities.org/cli It lets you push changes to your site from a local directory. If you go to "Edit Site" you should find a "Download entire site" option at the bottom of the page. I'd also recommend installing Python so you can run a local HTTP server for testing.
As for the copy and paste issue, some text-editors will allow you to do "Find and Replace" across multiple text files, which I've used to do some batch-editing. The one I use is Kate, though there's other free text-editors that likely have similar features.
Reading my last posts they're quite scatterbrained, but the basic gist is that you can download your entire site onto your own computer, edit it with your own text editor, preview it with your own local Python server, and then use the Neocities CLI to upload all your changes to the Neocities site. It takes a bit of set-up, but it's so much more efficient than using the Neocities editor.
