Just: Just a Command Runner
I recently looked at various alternatives to make and landed on https://taskfile.dev/
It handles dependencies and conditions well without needing to be a full blown bash expert.

Mise: Dev tools, env vars, task runner
Have enjoyed replacing makefiles with https://taskfile.dev/ which looks like it could be more powerful due to being able to detect changes etc. But glad Just has been good.

Why I Switched from Makefile to Taskfile
Taskfile is a Go-based task runner using YAML syntax for defining tasks. It simplifies project workflows by automating repetitive tasks like building, testing, and deploying code.

I Like Makefiles
I also use make this way and have done for years. I even have the same kind of religious ritual the author has, like writing the Makefile is part of setting up the codebase and organising in my own head how the whole local dev environment is going to work.
The only thing is, this isn't what make is actually for. A number of commenters have recommended Just - the one I've been using on my personal projects is Task - https://taskfile.dev/ - which is pretty great. As other commenters have said, the problem is that make is installed everywhere already. I would love to see a task runner become standard to the same extent, and will have a look at Just if that's the one people are using.

Ask HN: Best Tools for Monorepo?
We have a very similar setup (except s/Next.js/Remix) and went with npm workspaces + Task [1], and it's working really, really well so far. This is our second iteration of a monorepo (first one was a straight React SPA bundled with Vite instead of Remix).
We have a root Taskfile that references our JS and Go taskfiles and wraps / abstracts all tasks. It's good for dependency management and task orchestration (`task lint` will run lint in both JS and Go for example, and `task test` does the same).
TypeScript sharing between packages can be a lil' funky, but so far it's super solid. Happy to share more if it would be helpful.
