I think people kind of talk past each other in these discussions because there isn't a standardised vocabulary. I would call that kind of anaemic Makefile a "task runner" rather than a build system. And yes indeed, a task run

These two have been caught. How many haven't yet been caught? Traditional Unix file permissions are pretty much a joke for the way developer computers get used (one user - does everything). Real process sandboxing is needed.

If someone steals your domain registration, they can then change the MX records and start receiving your email. In some scenarios, I think that could be a more serious consequence than the website being down or replaced. Same reason that de

This makes sense but it's more like general advice for why typical packages should not be import-dotted. I was talking about a very specific kind of low-pollution package that will export essentially nothing bar a single type (maybe a
