• Poetry (Packaging) in motion

  Full disclosure, I did not review Conda or Hatch fully. Not that there is anything explicitly wrong with either of them. Conda is too specific to the scientific community for my general taste. Hatch seems to go well with Conda and also uses the PyProject manifest as well. It's nice that it gives you several built in tools, similar to commit hooks, but I tend to like to roll my own via a Taskfile and run them with... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• We built the fastest CI in the world. It failed

  9. We test everything with another promotion which runs make targets which build docker containers to run python scripts (pytest) This is also built by a complicated web of wildcarded makefile targets, which need to be interoperable and support a few if/else cases for specific components. My plan is to migrate all of this to something simpler and more straightforward, or at least more maintainable, which is... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Stop Using Makefile (Use Taskfile Instead)

  GNU Make originated as a dependency-tracking build tool that automates the build process of source files and libraries. Although many modern languages provide built-in dependency management and build tools, a Makefile still finds its place in these projects. In these cases, Makefiles are used as a collection of aliases for actions like test, build, and lint. In this article, I will show you that there is a better... - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Does there exist a tool like docker compose that runs containers serially?

• Is your makefile supposed to be a justfile?

  Mage is good, I've never tried https://taskfile.dev/ but it looks very similar. This is where I give the Ruby community props, Rake really set the tone for the whole a-make-equivalent-but-better-in-your-code's-language movement. Python has Invoke, Javascript has a number of similar tools as well. Source: about 1 year ago
