Which command did you run 1731 days ago?
> When a command has some cognitive requirements I create a script with some ${1:-default} values and I store them all in $PATH enabled local/bin
I would consider using just for this:

Using Make – writing less Makefile
Your coworker's experience is more principled: Make is a mediocre tool for executing commands. It wasn't ever designed for that. Although it is pretty common to see what you are mentioning in projects because it doesn't require installing a dependency.
For a repo where an easy to install (single binary) dependency is a non-issue, consider using just. [1] You get `just -l` where you can see all the command available, the ability to use different languages, and overall simpler command writing.

Show HN: Just.sh – compiler that turns Justfiles into portable shell scripts
This is fantastic, but I'd say that this solution is somewhat in response to this open issue from 2019:
https://github.com/casey/just/issues/429
I really wish just was included as a package in distributions.

Sharing Saturday #496
So far, I didn't work on new features at all but on stabilizing the ground for further development: 1. CMake lists and modules were rewritten a lot, now managing builds and their configurations is much lesser pain. 2. Brought in Justfile for regular tasks, and it's great, no less. 3. Linters, formatters, analyzers for almost all the code (except for Janet for now, as because of it being a niche and young technology, it didn't get enough attention yet). 4. ECS stub. Now runtime class doesn't look like a god object. 5. Started writing unit tests which didn't happen with my personal projects before and maybe indicates how serious am I about this one :D 6. Some of previously hardcoded data has been moved to INI files. Now, if I release the game in 10 years, and in 10 more years some eccentric person decides to make a variant of it, it will be slightly simpler.

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
https://github.com/casey/just - more of a command runner but the Justfile syntax is quite Makefile-like.
If you dislike make checkout just https://github.com/casey/just
i've grown to like this for my personal projects. https://github.com/casey/just
Make is not exactly made for task definition and running, but it can be used like so as long as you know its quirks and counter intuitive gotchas, of which there are many seeing as Make is meant for building sources first and foremost. I use it a lot. I've been meaning to convert at least my personal stuff to https://github.com/casey/just or another task runner for some time though, Make can really be annoying sometimes.

Show HN: Jeeves – A Pythonic Alternative to GNU Make
Reminds me of `just`. Which I love.

Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
In my example above, I installed the developer tool "Just" as a Dev Container feature. I could also install it by adding the install script to my Dockerfile. However, I would have to build my own Dockerfile and would have to maintain this piece of code myself. This Dev Container Feature works on different architectures and base images, which makes them convenient to use.

Show HN: Workflow Orchestrator in Golang
So many tools in this space! This one looks a little bit like go-task, but it seems maybe better for production workflows because if timeout support, while go-task seems more aimed to command line work/makefile replacement.

Using Make – writing less Makefile
A similar tool is `task` https://taskfile.dev/ . It is quite capable and also a single executable. I've grown to quite like it.
If you're looking to an alternative, you could take a look at Task:

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
check out tasks - a bit of a learning curve but arguably more powerful imo
https://taskfile.dev/ - a mix of build tool and command runner. YAML for the Taskfiles which you might consider either a pro or con. :)

Go Development with Hot Reload Using Taskfile
That's when I came across taskfile.dev. Task is an automation tool designed to be more accessible than other options, such as GNU Make.

Poetry (Packaging) in motion
Full disclosure, I did not review Conda or Hatch fully. Not that there is anything explicitly wrong with either of them. Conda is too specific to the scientific community for my general taste. Hatch seems to go well with Conda and also uses the PyProject manifest as well. It's nice that it gives you several built in tools, similar to commit hooks, but I tend to like to roll my own via a Taskfile and run them with Poetry.
What are some alternatives?
cargo-make - Rust task runner and build tool.
doit - task management & automation tool
goreleaser - Deliver Go binaries as fast and easily as possible
cargo-xtask
Taskfile - Repository for the Taskfile template.
CodeLLDB - A native debugger extension for VSCode based on LLDB
cargo-release - Cargo subcommand `release`: everything about releasing a rust crate.
boilr - :zap: boilerplate template manager that generates files or directories from template repositories
JobRunner - Framework for performing work asynchronously, outside of the request flow
taskctl - Concurrent task runner, developer's routine tasks automation toolkit. Simple modern alternative to GNU Make 🧰
spinner - Go (golang) package with 90 configurable terminal spinner/progress indicators.
helix - A post-modern modal text editor.
