people will really say “when programming, you will spend most of your time reading code, not writing it” and then follow that with “in vim, your fingers never have to leave the keyboard” and not see any problem with it

@clayote well, i use xsltproc to make the pages, but GNU make to detect the source files and feed them into xsltproc (put simply)

this is basically just a genericizing of the makefile rules that i use to build vocab.ladys.computer (here: <git.ladys.computer/Vocab/blob/>), because i’ve decided that that pattern is likely actually useful in a lot of places

does your baldurs gate character wear underwear

@aschmitz i think oftentimes in these sorts of conversations the cart gets placed before the horse, tho

i think it’s fine to increase utility and make something compelling *for a set of already defined stakeholders*. if you have stakeholders, and they don’t want to use the thing, it’s ok to find out why, and try to change it so that they will want to use it

but i think you get into real problems when you say “these people aren’t currently stakeholders, but if we convince them with THIS feature, maybe they will be.” no. they aren’t your stakeholders. wait until they have a stake in your project before you go and invoke them
