What Hacker News says?
This is “Copy-Pasta Driven Development” [0] and it’s not even related to makefiles. It’s related to the entire industry copying code from here to there without even knowing what they are copying. TBH I think copilot has made this even worse, as we are blindly accepting chucks of code into our code bases. [0] https://andrew.grahamyooll.com/blog/copy-pasta-driven-develo...
