At work (enterprise stuff) we've grown tired of duplicating 1000's lines of boring CRUD stuff and turned to code generation. Which is so much better.

The workflow now is:

- think really hard for 10 minutes about the business problem,

- describe it into our meta language (typed structs, UML-like, really simple),

- instantly click'n'build a whole set of API endpoints down to SQL create/alter/drop statements, along with full up to date documentation,

- get excited to be able to deliver so much stuff to customer in no time,

- aaand finally receive a requirement update ('the last one I promise') and send I-love-you letters back in time to our old-selves for such a nice malleable framework (which I dubbed The Platform).
