I use Makefiles when I'm learning the ropes of a new system build tool. E.g. "I want to do <foo>, so I run `make <foo>`", and the make target named <foo> has all the commands to build what I want. I did this when I was learning how Docker worked. I put the incantation to build a new image into a Makefile, as well as how to run the container and exec into it. Not the best system, but works for me as a kind of living notebook. I run Makefiles in other places too. <3 Couldn't live without it.
