Templating Engine / Generators

[afronski]

• Templates / Generators for new files (like in case of Rails or Phoenix framework) - in a project in most cases you will reuse a lot of elements between files, which needs to be copied - I personally think that some kind of templating / bootstrapping would eliminate the boilerplate and mundane work.
• I used to use CloudFormer to do a snapshot / conversion of existing infrastructure to the CloudFormation in order to start-up and build-up some skeleton quickly:
  • http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-using-cloudformer.html
  • Maybe we can simplify that process to a single command execution. 😉
