Make Ruby Write Your Code for You
summary
A Ruby based code generator called Magic Modules takes a YAML word bank plus ERB templates and emits real Ruby and also Python and Go clients that integrate with GCP. It cuts repeated hand edits after about 50–60 similar features by treating templates as source of truth and regenerating outputs. The tool is open sourced on github.com/googlecloudplatform/magic-modules and is actively used to produce maintainable provider code rather than hand copy paste.
