I misspoke when I said "Patch [...] the generator." I meant to say "Have someone else patch it". I meant to imply your time is too valuable to look at the intermediate source.
I'd drive a car to work to save time. If I have to get out and push the car instead, that's
happening no more than once. I ditch the car, because it no longer saves me time. Getting out and pushing the car is not going to become part of my commute, and I'm not going to evaluate future cars on how easy they are to push.
You can afford to throw out the generator because it doesn't claim to give you new functionality. It just cuts down on boilerplate. If it can't do that properly, write the boilerplate.
