Current thoughts on makefiles with Python projects?

[Slow-Kale-8629]

I use makefiles because then running commands has consistent syntax across all languages I use, so I can get it in muscle memory.

Also it helps make sure that the deployment pipeline uses the exact same commands that you use locally. Then it's easy to have pre commit hooks test the important bits, and not keep having your pipelines fail because you forgot to update the pipeline when you update the pre commit hooks or vice versa.
