This is a sloppily phrased call for automation. I can wholeheartedly endorse automation as a goal, but the idea that make can be your go-to tool for this is embarrassing. Make will get you into trouble the moment your task becomes non-trivial. Everyone has their favourite tools and no single tool is best for every job (although grep and find are often your friend).
As I often say in job interviews, I'm lazy. I protect the lazy guy inside of me, because he's the one who cries out "Didn't we do this manually before? Shouldn't we automate it?" He's a good guy to have around.
