How to minimize RAM usage during Go binary compilation
We have a repo/library called fasten-sources which is made up of mostly generated code (using dave/jennifer)

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.

Simple code generator tools to explore inner workings of?
I've used https://github.com/dave/jennifer in the past, and been very happy with it.
-
How to choose a golang template rending engine for my project?
If specifically for generating Go code, I would suggest you take a look at Jennifer.

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: Generate type-to-type and field-to-field struct code without reflection or dependencies (391x faster than copier)
Cool! Have you seen https://github.com/jmattheis/goverter ? I'm curious as to the pros and cons between the two.

goverter: Generate type-safe Go converters by simply defining an interface.
Not directly, but you can define a custom implementation for the whole struct, see f.ex. https://github.com/jmattheis/goverter/blob/main/example/errors/input.go
