well I think Code generation can suck. But it does not need to suck.

I like how grpc/protobuf work. And generating the code saving it in a repo and using it, is fine. for RPC-like stuff.

However, generating code with a compiler can actually suck. Like having your database layer (jooq like) generated while compiling so the code does not get checked in anywhere.
