     "How should I read type system notation?"

     Carefully. A more serious answer is that it's mathematical notation so you should skim a mathematical type theory text book along with a lambda calculus textbook, both of which i did on the way to college. Neither of those involve reading a blogpost though so it remains to be seen if a lobsters is capable of doing this or not

     > Better Builds with Make: A Beginner's Guide

     Look there's only one makefile you should ever need and I'll write 90% of it here for you

     .PHONY: release build test clean

     release:
     (shell commands to release should go here preceded by a tab)

     build:
     (shell commands to build should go here preceded by a tab)

     test:
     (shell commands to test should go here preceded by a tab)

     clean:
     (shell commands to clean the working directories should go here preceded by a tab)

     > Don't be clever

     I don't even have to open this to know this is about clever code versus easy to read code. Unfortunately clever code will always win the battle between the two because it's more fun to write, and clean easy to read code is more involved and explicit and therefore: annoying.

     @alexandria Worst is how for game stuff you probably could just use an RPG Name generator.

     > Mach v0.2 released - Zig game engine & graphics toolkit

     Wasn't Mach like a kernel 5 minutes ago. or like a build system or something. Like I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Hurd. I'm sure there are plenty of words left in the dictionary for you to not overload another word and make older software harder to find out about

     (cont)

     if you're doing anything more than that, you know how to RTFM, and will get far more value out of skimming the GNU Make manual than you will from a blogpost. But also consider, not doing anything more complex than that.
