Oh these are great. Especially the functional options and generators.

[@dadcodes]

I understand they do not serve exactly the same purpose, but I wanted to compare them to builders since functional options are much simpler. For someone coming from a heavy OOP Java corporate background, builders might seem like the go-to solution in similar cases, but they shouldn't be.

you can use build tags to separate unit and integration tests btw.

I'm so happy you liked it! Thanks for the support :)

Very useful tips, thanks a lot

[@dadcodes]

Glad you liked it! If you have any suggestions, please share them:)

[@volodymyrvolodymyr3965]

what's unique about generating code? Almost every language I know doing it

[@volodymyrvolodymyr3965]

I think it would be even better to show how fast code generation is. For example some JSON parsers use reflection and some code generation.

[@dadcodes]

nothing unique per se, but I like that it's built-in, simple and fast.

@@volodymyrvolodymyr3965 Reflection is runtime vs compile time for code generation, but it seems like an idea for a separate video :)
