MTAR T3D Sessions: Why Code Generation Still Matters

Описание: Welcome back to More Than a Refresh Presents: T3D Sessions.

In this episode, Command Prompt Founder Joshua “JD” Drake talks with Andrew Smith, Senior Developer/DBA, about a foundational concept in software engineering that quietly powers modern systems: code generation and single sources of truth.

Andrew walks through the evolution of code generation—from early macros and assembly language to modern model-driven architectures—and explains why generating code from a centralized definition is one of the most effective ways to build scalable, maintainable systems. Using practical examples from C, PostgreSQL, and modern frameworks, he breaks down how code generation reduces duplication, prevents drift, and keeps complex systems aligned over time.

Whether you’re a developer, DBA, or architect, this concise T3D Session highlights why treating your system definitions as data—and generating everything else from them—can fundamentally improve how you build and scale software.
