It's really frustrating seeing so many Makefiles that don't _make_ anything.

Make syntax is really odd. I see so many folks go out of their way to deal w/quirks of make when they really just need a shell script. You can see this anti-pattern very quickly when you see `.PHONY` targets for everything.

I think make is useful for some aspects of go. GOPATH is becoming less relevant now, but still helpful when you want to have build-time dependencies in $PATH

    $(GOPATH)/bin/some-dependency:
        go get -u ...
I still use make when building artifacts, especially in CI. But as a default, I almost always try to talk folks out of using make for this sort of stuff.

That makes sense. I figured that there was most likely two different run modes (in browser vs stand-alone). Thanks for clarifying.

What an excellent post.

This inspired me to dig up an old screenshot from the same time:

Most likely this was on a Red Hat desktop I was running (before the enterprise switch). Man, I really miss running WindowMaker…

I came here to note this exactly.

Googling for the word seems to imply that the term is being used in a few different contexts — and it is a real word. I suppose my beef is that Google's re:work and 37S' both deal with the workplace. It's a little too close in context IMO.

I saw your post right after I noticed a broken logo on their booking form. I think this seems to be an interesting lead.

I tried to book an appointment with a bogus email and got a 500.

The logo image was broken and I noticed an interesting path when viewing it's `src` attribute:

I wonder if this is a template theme or perhaps some sort of parent company that has many brands.
