Automatic source code generation might seem like a hack to most developers, but it doesn't have to be this way. When used effectively as part of a software project's development and build processes, code generation can encourage good practices, reduce bugs, and save valuable developer time by eliminating the need to write boilerplate code by hand. This talk will look at a few use cases for automatic source code generation, and discuss the high-level design principles involved in using, or even rolling your own source code generator.

This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
