Autotools Mythbuster
Learning about autotools is an amazing source of fremdscham. The whole compilation&#x2F;packaging stuff is hard to get right but autotools looks like someone completely gave up on producing a good, decent or even bad solution and just tried whatever didn&#x27;t completely and utterly fail at the task. That everyone else just kind of seemed to go with it... there are just no words to describe how embarrassing that looks.
