Eric (who wrote TFA) and I worked together at Electric Cloud on GNU make stuff. He took over from me writing a column called "Ask Mr. Make".
The columns I wrote are all available here: http://blog.jgc.org/2013/02/updated-list-of-my-gnu-make-articles.html http://blog.jgc.org/2013/02/updated-list-of-my-gnu-make-arti...

Although the initial commit for remake (which I covered in 2007) was in April 2004 the initial release was... at the same time as my article.
