Why Use Make
I imagine many of Mike's points would be addressed just as well by Just or most any other task runner... but I thought his main point of "Makefile as documentation" was valuable.
After reading this way back in 2015 I decided to give it a try for a not-code-related task: downloading a book from the internet archive, copying out all the images, and running some adjustments and conversions on them with ImageMagick:
