And of course every one of those tools has to have their own special language/syntax that makes sense nowhere else (think of all the tools beyond make, like autotools, etc)
I don't care about make. I don't care learning about make beyond what's needed for my job
Sure, it's a great tool, but I literally have 10 other things that deserve more of my attention than having my makefile work as needed
Honestly is this not how it should be done? There's always going to be a more elegant approach for sure. But in general, we don't want developers to keep rewriting the same code again and again. Avoiding that is part of entire design paradigms. I'd like to talk to the dev who doesn't copy-paste and writes everything from scratch.

So yeah I'll copy/paste and be done with it
