Definitely agree that Make and Nix is a nice combination, especially for facilitating faster development like the `hugo serve` use case.

I'd also argue it makes your code overall less volatile. If you ever wanted to build your code outside of Nix for whatever reason (such as migrating to another reproducible packaging tool), having everything in unopinionated `make` is a whole lot easier. Plus, it leverages the advantages of a tool that is dedicated to building code.
