It has been more than 20+ years since I used Makefiles seriously. I did use them later, but they were very simple.

My justfiles were also simple.
and today, I needed to define a task that we dependent on another.

I had no idea about it, and so I tried dir(demunge) and it returned nil 😆
I could not find it in the documentation, so I asked ChatGPT about it, and it explained the following: 2

So while I intuitively understand that using is equivalent of require in Ruby (or import in python), I didn’t know which ones are “standard library” and which ones are not.

FWIW, even after working with python, I never used Django in any of my main project. But I did learn python first before the frameworks.
Fast forward to few days ago. I am working on Ruby code to read from Azure Service Bus.
