For Make, it helps to think in terms of inputs, constraints, verification, and iteration.

One important area is limitations. Define what a good result looks like before changing tools or settings, then test one variable at a time so you can tell what actually improved the outcome.

Another area is troubleshooting. Keep examples of both strong and weak outputs, check important facts or generated code independently, and document settings that produce consistent results.

The main takeaway is that Make becomes much more reliable when the workflow includes clear inputs, repeatable checks, and a way to learn from previous results.

A useful way to look at Make explained: a practical look at limitations is to focus first on make and limitations. That tends to make the trade-offs easier to compare. The original point — "For Make, it helps to think in terms of inputs, constraints, verification, and iteration. One important area is limitations. Define what a good result looks like before changing t…" — gives a useful starting point for that comparison.

On Make explained: a practical look at limitations, the part about make and limitations stands out to me. I would test one small workflow first, keep the variables consistent, and compare the result before changing several things at once. That way you can improve the workflow without losing track of what caused the improvement.
