I’m not too shy when it comes to use analogies while writing about software. But this blog makes my writings look as if they’re written by a kindergarten boy. Comparing using code generators with vibrators is very fresh and original idea.
In the essence, the blog author is right – people quickly become addicted to code generators and frameworks and can quickly forget how to write code when they are on their own. Recently we’ve demoed our code generator to a perspective client, and they’ve said, “We are very impressed with your code generator. Creating a CRUD rich Internet application in 5-10 minutes? Wow! But what if you guys are not around? We’ll get used to your code generator and what if something goes wrong?”
Isn’t it a vibrator situation? But this does not mean that you should not be using frameworks and generators. But use them smartly without forgetting about the hand job if you know what I mean. You can find my blog about new breed of framework coders over here . What a boring reading isn't it?
