It's true, although GPT has given Makefiles a second life by helping write them, delaying their demise.


It's an interesting phenomenon. ChatGPT and other LLMs have really opened up previously "archaic" tooling like Make and Bash. I've "written" more Bash in the last year than my entire career previously, because LLMs are such good copilots for that.


Oh god bash is archaic now?

I was not prepared to feel this old today.


Agreed but my favorite thing is to take a Makefile and throw it into ChatGPT and have it give me a justfile and seeing it remove all the weird makefile patterns.
