We even got a guy with a PhD in CS from a university that I had previously

not understand how make works in spite of the O'Reilly book.

What O'Reilly book?  Are you saying the PhD was an O'Reilly-published
author?  That would be literally incredible.

No, I mean that when he didn't know what make was, we handed him the
O'Reilly book about make.  Because that's how you learn things that
you don't know in the Unix world.  It did not seem to help.
He continued trying to write sequential build scripts using make.
