I have been using it for a while and it has been useful. One feature that I am still missing is to be able to stack PR across repositories. In other words, I want this stack to contains some PRs to the backend, some to the front, and some t

Make is one of my favorite tools, I believe the author built a simple and robust system. I have certain degree of envy. I made something similar but with Ansible wrapped as an uv script. What I like about ansible is that it's higher le

This is very useful, though I would recommend using a Makefile instead. You will get a lot out of the box: completion in your shell, idempotency (in case you are interested), useful string interpolation, easy variables injection, etc. You c

Nice article, I love Make and your blog looks sharp. I would suggest to provide the beginner friendly version in which all the rules are hard coded, so that a beginner can profit and don't be freightened. And then, introduce the proble

Summary: So why bother with Ansible in 2025? Because it gives you interesting features out of the box:1) Idempotency, 2) Drift detection, 3) a really high level ‘language’. And because used with UV, Ansible can be used as a standalone ‘scri

This is worth gold: """ Power Imbalance In theory, GitOps is neutral. A robot pulls from Git and makes reality match. Everyone gets to review, and every change is versioned. Feels fair. Right? But in practice, GitOps introduc

Completely agree with you. You can't be an economist and criticize current monetary policy. You will be labeled a crackpot, ostracized and have difficulty with grants. Grants from who? The same institution you'll be critizing in t

Anki is dead because, after LLMs were introduced, people lost the incentive to learn at all. Frankly, who wants to learn something the old way when you can ask an LLM to do it for you? All this reminds me of my home country when the Ponzi s

Congratulations on you project, hope to have once a project as succesfull as yours. I would like to clarify that I don't mean to bash Task, just tired of critiques saying that Make is bad because is old, and Just and Task are better on

I read Just's readme the other day. Basically they say Just is better than Make because in Just all targets are phony by default (something you can make easily in Make). And because they provide a flag to list the targets (which you ca

Make is still king in 2025. I don't understand why someone would use Just or Taskfile instead of Make. My only hypothesis is that people believe (erroneously) that whatever is new is automatically better than what is older.
