Do employers care if you use generators ?
What kind of generators are you talking about?
What do you mean by an HTML generator?
What do you mean by employers, potential employers or your current employer?
-
For CSS, if it’s just something like a shape generator or some other utility stuff then that is fine.
-
If you mean a WYSIWYG tool then that is not professional and should not be used.
-
Potential employers will want to know what you can do on your own, not what tool you can use to do it for you. A current employer wants good quality code, not copy-pasting or auto-generated code (well there is WordPress and the like).
Things like a shape generator etc… like css grid generator as well .
Utility stuff is fine, but I’m not the employer so it’s not my say.
Again what do you mean by employers, potential or current?
I mean people you work for , companies etc…
what is classified as utility stuff ?
As long as it gets the job done, isn’t sloppy or poor code and you understand it so you can debug it and change it as needed, I doubt they care much about how you did it.
Things there is little point in coding by hand.
-
SVG, most people do not hand-code SVG but use a tool and then clean it up.
-
Complex shapes, or anything where the API is hard to remember or cumbersome to do by hand.
-
Animation curves.
-
Color palettes, at least as a starting point to get you going and to give a side-by-side view of the colors.
-
Sprite sheet generators.
I’m sure there are plenty of other things I didn’t mention. But that’s just some of them.
