- Shell scripts are great for small tasks but become problematic with complexity.
- Makefiles work well for simple tasks but are difficult to scale.
- YAML is good for small configurations but hard to manage at scale.
- Spreadsheets are widely used but can become problematic when used as databases.
- Markdown is excellent for simple documentation but not ideal for large projects like books.
