Code generators? Can you be more specific?
I think they're referring to the project scaffolding features that's built-in to framework tooling thesedays (e.g. `ng generate ng <schema>` or `dotnet scaffold`).
There's also the practice of using good ol' fashioned code-generation tools like T4 or Moustache/Liquid templates to generate program entity classes and data-access methods from a DB schema, for example. Furthermore, now there's pretty nifty compile-time code-generation in C# - while languages like F# support built-time type-generation.
...and these are all good tools IMO; but really aren't comparable to an LLM, imo.
