Got Make?
summary
Demonstrates concrete Make uses: patterns, wildcard and automatic variables to turn per‑source Coffee and Stylus into per‑file JS/CSS, then concatenate, so only changed files rebuild and per-file targets enable fast incremental builds. Shows how make -j gives automatic parallelism, how to bootstrap and share logic with a common.mk and warns against treating build systems as task runners (recommend NPM scripts for pure tasks). Includes workable Makefile patterns and real compile commands.
