Marcelo,
to my embarrassment/pleasure I tripped across the property to generate public constructors this morning. I knew it had to be there, but I didn’t find it the first time I looked. I’m having a lot of fun with EMF. I’ve been tweaking the code generation much more than I ever had in the past. It takes a while to learn how to “turn the knobs” to get what you want, but once you do, you can produce almost exactly what you need.

Hi there. Very interesting reading. Please keep sharing Btw, I am quite sure there is a GenModel property to set the generator to produce public constructors.

Good luck! There’s a lot of stuff going on out there, especially in the bay area!

Thanks Marcelo. Nope, not an April Fools joke. Just excellent timing.

Ed beat me to the question about April Fools Regardless, I wish you all the luck. The few opportunities I had to interact with you were extremely pleasant and I hope our paths cross again someday.

Again, thanks for the support. While I’ve been working in Silicon Valley for almost 20 years, I’ve been living for the past seven just north of Manhattan. It has given me an interesting perspective on both areas and how things are developing in each. I give the edge to the Valley and SF, but Manhattan has a certain advantage in “media,” which is going to foster a new kind of venture. It also seems to have a tighter “social scene,” but I’m not sure that matters. Either way, it’s just too attractive to ignore.

Way to go, Daniel! I left the corporate environment four or five years — tired of seeing a few good ideas ignored except to be used as support for a lot of bad ones — and while it has definitely had its ups and downs, I can’t imagine going back to the old set of skewed incentives. And I can’t agree with you more about the coming bottom-up boom — though I’ve finally realized that what I was interested in doing might not align with what people are interested in buying. I’m working on that one.. and let me know if you ever want to swap reality checks.
