It's not like the architects at Facebook would do something like scrap Android's gradle build system and replace it with their own custom build system...oh yaa, they did do that.


I mean, Google does this all the time with things, too. And so I suspect it's partially ex-Googlers influencing things to some degree.

From what I hear 'buck' at Facebook is directly modelled on Blaze/Bazel.


Worse yet is when the people who really didn’t make it at a FAANG start the “What we did at X…” adventure. We had a couple of those wander through the woods on their dream quest to the tune of a few million dollars in wasted work we’re throwing out now that they moved on.
