@coriander history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man
@coriander the balrog is just dwarven godzilla
@aescling youtube is broken so i know nothing about the video it was just a joke about other m not only having unskippable cutscenes but a theatre mode

this is basically just a genericizing of the makefile rules that i use to build vocab.ladys.computer (here: <https://git.ladys.computer/Vocab/blob/7020828282e41281d76e7a578f97d123e00d7b05:/GNUmakefile>), because i’ve decided that that pattern is likely actually useful in a lot of places
@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
