Slightly OT, but Except for some basic UNIX tools, like grep or make Is make a basic tool? I'm often surprised when I find out new features of make that I was unaware of. I feel like it's bigger than it appears to be.
So much of programming and administration is about managing dependencies, and make is the default tool.
Such a pity it has a shitty syntax.
What does this mean for the future of nanomsg's development?
"Real artists ship" "if you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often I'm sure there are many others, but these ones keep me shipping.
Some very practical, down-to-earth, solid advice. Lines I found insightful: "... make it functionally complete in the first place. ... If it can't be made functionally complete it's too big. You've tried to bite off a piece that's bigger than you can swallow. Just get back to the drawing board and split off a piece that can be made functionally complete." ^_^ I really like the idea of splitting a project into phases.…

... long before those thirty years, someone who thinks he is a great manager may take over the steering wheel (he or she). And things are ready to start from the beginning.
Im my group, we have another flavour of not finishing things: managing by whatever is in front of the managers mind and declare it highest priority. This is the best way to work hard all the time and get nothing done at all. Well, we all read peopleware a long time ago, all except of the managers.
Anybody here, who has a good idea how to handle these traps?
