an argument can be made that the code doesn't matter as long as the product works as it's supposed to (big asterisk here)



> the code doesn't matter

The only goal of a code generator is the code. I don't care whether it works or not (for specific scenarios and it could break 90% of the time). I want to see the generated code and, so far, I have never seen anything interesting besides todo lists made with ReactJS.


People who do this don’t want to see the code and perhaps even don’t care about the code. Code is just a means to an end, which is the product. It might be the wrong take from a software engineer’s perspective, but it is a take that works in at least some cases.
