🔊 New episode of Off The Main Thread!

Me and @DasSurma wonder if build tools are a symptom of a wider problem in web development, or if they're part of the solution.

And what is Bazel, and what makes it different from other build tools?

meister,

@jaffathecake so your not at the house with the countless nightcam animals anymore. 🥲

@meister yeeeeep, and the new place doesn't have night animals. But, we gifted the camera to our old neighbours, and the deal was that they have to send us any particularly good footage

@jaffathecake great to hear @DasSurma diving into Bazel. Been doing the same these past couple of weeks and I really think we might be at the tipping point with it where it just makes sense for large scale projects.

We're using it at Adobe in CI for one large web project and it's cut build and test times by an order of magnitude.

But using it on the daily dev cycle has not yet been addressed, and as Surma points out, without leaning into it you leave a lot of optimizations on the table.
