Building Go Executables: Code Generation
In this example, @MikiTebeka wants to build a web server that serves random quotes. This could be done one of two ways:
Embed a text file in the executable and parse it every time
Do it once and generate a go file that generates a slice with all of the quotes
By utilizing go generate, we can detect errors at build time, which is better for our development workflow.
