Jorge StolfiHackers doing what they do best: create more ugly and buggy tools to get around the ugliness and bugs of the ugly and buggy tools that they created over the last 50 years...
Henning Paul DC4HP@retr0id unpopular opinion: the sole purpose of CMake is gatekeeping.
nope@hennichodernich @retr0id unpopular because its wrong.
the true purpose of CMake is eldritch horror to break the minds of humans and turn us into fish people.

Jeremy KahnYou found my software engineering "larval stage" from 1999
Larry Rubinow@retr0id Me, having worked for two years in Golang, and then being switched to a Java project with hard dependencies on the Windows cmd prompt and Eclipse built into the gradle script.

Steve Riggins@retr0id they need better devops 😊
Anders Stenberg@retr0id I simultaneously feel heavily attacked and fully agree.
LP🔸Light up the night@retr0id If your project is too complicated for Make, and I mean non-recursive Make without any clever shenanigans, you need to fix your source tree and/or the scope of it, etc. etc.
Jeremy in the blue house.@LionsPhil @retr0id yes, I agree.
Gourd@retr0id Universally enabling -WError (error on warning) in release builds is a great way for several years down the line everyone trying to build your thing with new versions of GCC to have a nightmarish time as new warnings have been defined and they have to figure out what arcane incantation must be uttered to get past it for your cute custom build system.
And don't say you'll keep up with GCC, the project may be abandoned by then or they may need an old version for some reason.
The Penguin of Evil@retr0id I loathe autotools. Try bootstrapping tools on another OS and autocrap is a nightmare.
Worst was one of the Debian people who took my 20 line or so gnome tool that fed the selection to google search and adding about a thousand lines of autoconf to it, and then also rewrote the versioning for it because it was versioned by geologic era names not numbers 8)

@retr0id More of this genre of meme. Please.
rin ft ?!system@retr0id Meanwhile in javaland, everyone uses Gradle and everyone hates it, but it's better than the alternatives so it gets used everywhere anyways
accursed fucking elephant
Kit Rhett Aultman@retr0id I actually just agree with this. No sarcasm or irony to it.
InterferencePattern@retr0id don't blame DevOps for what the devs are asking them to do.
