This is preposterous take. Bazel is a hermetic build. Depending on the dependency graph of a change we can build, and deploy 2 monoliths and a suite of microservices in under 5 minutes. Sometimes less than 1 minute. Developers also get access to a shared build cache so local builds are just as fast. This isnt a fad. It solves problems you havent encountered yet.
There's a law that as any discussion on hn grows, the odds that someone chimes in about some new thing being just a rehash of an old thing approaches 1.
Yeah, it's ridiculous how people criticize these things, they solve very relevant problems to massive scale software. Working in a monorepo is also especially efficient if the tooling supports it.
It's still not perfect, and it's very complicated, but people always act like there's no benefit.
I never said anything about Bazel, build systems, or build speed. I have no idea what you're trying to refute, perhaps you replied to the wrong comment.
