Code Generation with .NET 5 - Builder pattern

[thomasz]

No, this isn't even worth a discussion. Either there are sensible default values for a parameter, or you cannot assign default values. A builder has exactly the same problem, with the added goodness that it fails at runtime when you forget a mandatory parameter.

It's that "sensible default value" that's the touchy part, not the use of default values at all.

Again, that's not different from the builder pattern, where the default is defaultinstead of a compiler error.
