If you'd care to suggest how to "generate" interfaces to the 7 new AWS apis introduced just in the last week, I'm sure they'd be all ears. That said, ime, code generators are the very worst of all worlds. A cool sounding idea, but they take longer to specify; much longer and far more coordination and discipline to code; are hugely more complex, thus contain far more bugs; and are truly horribly complex and difficult to debug. Instead of just writing code to interface to the vendor specified api; you have to:
And if you've had to add an optimiser stage in order to make the generated code run at anything like reasonable performance; you've compounded all the problems once again. In short: Yuck! With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
