The thing where people rely on this host of third-party, off-prem services (github, npm, travis, etc) to simply build and deploy their own software is insane to me.

Use CMake, autotools, or whatever - they're all good too.

this is patently false

CMake is like the smelly ugly guy who chews with his mouth open and just appears fractally terrible in the small details but when the chips are down he can deliver and reliably

autotools is kinda like that except it barely works and also likes to talk about open relationships and/or open carry and wants you to know that you should really make sure all your code can be built on obscure old systems that only someone like me would care about since portability is important

msbuild should go in the dumpster and Microsoft should write a maven.net

MSBuild exists because Microsoft felt it couldn�t use NAnt directly because at the time they saw open source as �infectious�

these days they�d have just used NAnt or ported Maven
