What's your preferred code generation tool in 2024? (programming.dev)

To clarify, I mean writing scripts that generate or modify classes for you instead of manually writing them every time, for example if you want to replace reflection with a ton of verbose repetitive code for performance reasons I guess?

My only experience with this is just plain old manual txt generation with something like python, and maintaining legacy t4/tt VS files but those are kind of a nightmare.

What's a good modern way of accomplishing this, have there been any improvements in this area?

I don't really do that - I tend to aggressively refactor code. This is, I admit, a privilege of being a highly trusted developer at my company.
