What ever happened to make? It seems like so much of what developers do now just duplicates what could be done with a single makefile that pokes around, figures out what you need, and makes a script to set it up.
- brigandish 2y agoMake is horrible though. It works, but it’s horrible. Hardly surprising people have looked for alternatives, it’s just a shame that most of those are horrible too.
- gchamonlive 2y ago"Use make" advices start so sound a lot like fetish and disregard the actual challenges. Make is just a framework for you to do your builds. Sure you can cram anything into it, but that is exactly the kind of area that other tools like Ansible or even Terraform shine. Make isn't a silver bullet. EDIT: Just to make sure, I'm using fetish as something you spend an unreasonable amount of time with it.
