I write (mostly) bug free production code fast by doing the following:

1. I use a custom code generator to generate 90%+ of the code I need from a declarative spec.

2. The remaining hand written code is mostly biz logic and it is exhaustively auto tested at the server API level.

3. I maintain and "bring along" a large library of software tools "tested in combat" I can reuse on new projects.

4. I have settled on an architecture that is simple but works and scales well for the small to large biz applications I work on.

5. I constantly work on removing complexity from the code, making it as easy to understand and modify as possible.



I too like code generators. Keeps code standard and reduces human error.

What programming language you like for that?
