Golang’s best-kept secret: ‘executable examples’
Check out my https://github.com/dave/rebecca package for a neat way of building readme docs by embedding Go docs and examples. It generates the readme for https://github.com/dave/jennifer (see https://github.com/dave/jennifer/blob/master/README.md.tpl).

Designing a config API for microservices applications built using Go
The design of the wrapper functions meant we couldn’t easily unmarshal the CUE value into the wrapper functions. This meant we needed to generate unmarshalled functions for the config types. We use the excellent Jennifer library by Dave (no really; github.com/dave/jennifer) for generating Go files.

Boilerplate for experienced devs
I just spent a few hours writing a crapload of boilerplate code generation code with jennifer, if that helps any.

Copygen is a type-based code generator for the Go programming language. Copygen allows developers to generate type-to-type copy functions out-of-the-box without reflection (why?), but it can also be used to generate code. As an example, disgo is a performant, secure, and thread-safe Go Discord API Wrapper that uses Copygen with dasgo to achieve feature completion.

What is Disgo? An In-Depth Look.
Disgo is the only Go API Wrapper using a maintainable approach to become feature complete. Disgo is the only Go API Wrapper to provide OAuth2 flows. Disgo is the only wrapper to define API definitions (objects, requests, commands) as structs, allowing for usage of the Discord Producer API without requiring knowledge of an additional API Wrapper Consumer API.

Copygen allows developers to define types, structs, and more in its setup.go file and has no issues copying them to the output; except for comments. The Go AST makes it "very difficult to update the AST and retain correct comment place (from 2017)" and is not likely to change any time soon. As a result, Copygen sometimes generates free-floating comments (i.e multi.go). Copygen's comments are handled in its Parser. Feel free to use any necessary libraries or rewriting of the comment-parsing mechanism to fix this issue.
