I really hate this attitude. The same people who don't grok Make also don't grok git or bourne shell or who knows what else. Don't take shortcuts in understanding the fundamental tools of your stack. Your build system is just as important to your project as the code it's building!
- vvanders 9y agoMake is only a fundamental tool if that's what your library/binary uses. You may have a mix of CMake, MSVC and language specific build tools like Cargo and others. By your logic I should be an expert in all of them. Make's support outside of the posix world isn't that great(as opposed to CMake) so calling it fundamental seems that you are making assumptions about the environments that development happens in.

- vvanders 9y agoThat's a pretty narrow world view you have then.
