- Ask HN - Do you curate links/bookmarks?
- Here is the article that has details about getting rid of the need to use tabs in makefiles
- The Language Agnostic, All-Purpose, Incredible, Makefile - I really like most of this article, the intro is great, the description of how make operates too, there’s a confusing example about scheduling flights, but the web development examples at the end are great including things like database migrations, automatically starting up docker, seeding databases - Currently I mostly use npm scripts for all build tasks but I see the value in using make as a developer orchestration tool, btw it’s also possible to not use tabs which this article doesn’t mention, see some of my previous links on make for details
- Natalie Novick presenter on the tech.eu podcast is leaving to join Startup Boost as Chief Community Officer - I very much enjoyed Natalie's style of presenting on the podcast, and I quite liked the slight oddness of an american presenting european tech, she very often had great insight and knowledge, I wish her all the best on her new venture
