Make — what is changing around workflow comparison?

[ninachie]

I wanted to start a broader workflow comparison thread around Make.

A useful angle is collaboration, but it also connects with automation. Different tools and workflows can produce very different results even when the goal is similar.

It would be interesting to compare practical examples, experiments, setups, or lessons that show where Make is genuinely useful and where it still needs improvement.

A useful way to look at Make — what is changing around workflow comparison? is to focus first on make and around. That tends to make the trade-offs easier to compare. If you share the exact setup, it would be easier to narrow down which part matters most.

I think make and around is the key part of this topic. A practical approach is to define the outcome you want, test it with a small example, and then check quality, speed and reliability separately. That way you can improve the workflow without losing track of what caused the improvement.
