• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  I will not suggest truly old-school Java programming. When I started in Java, we built Java classes with the javac command. This led to writing shell scripts to build complex projects and finally, Makefiles using the Unix and Windows commands make and nmake respectively. I remember being thrilled when the Ant utility came out and we had a pure Java build tool.

  Didn't know that people still use Ant for building their source code.

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants).

• what are the best resources to learn makefile and how to understand large codebases
  4 projects | /r/cpp_questions | 5 Mar 2021

  make has many detractors, but I've shipped some fairly large projects using nothing but it as the build system. Once you've settled on a particular implementation of make, you can get a lot done with it. The pain comes in when you want to do even modestly interesting things and you need it to work on both GNU make and SysV (or BSD) make. Its syntax also speaks loudly as to the era which it's from, but the same could be (unfavorably) said of things like Visual Studio project files and Ant.
