In this episode of the Elixir Mentor Podcast, we welcome back Zach Daniel, creator of the Ash Framework, to explore Igniter, a sophisticated code generation and project patching framework for Elixir. Zach shares his vision for modernizing how developers handle project upgrades, installations, and code refactoring in the Elixir ecosystem. We dive into how Igniter streamlines dependency management with smart installers, simplifies project upgrades and provides powerful tools for library authors to create semantic code modifications. Whether you're a library maintainer looking to improve your generators or a developer seeking better tooling for project maintenance, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of Elixir project automation. #ElixirLang #AshFramework #CodeGeneration #Igniter #DeveloperTools
