I just personally love them and I am looking to get a deeper understanding of them and how to implement them.

Do you chaps have any good resources? (Articles, nuget packages, etc.)

I haven't used source generators, but generally .NET documentation alone is a very good resource. Besides that you can also check Nick Chapsas on YouTube, he probably covered this topic already.

Incremental source generators are the new thing, and MS's docs are not fully up to date. Some introductions:
