Lovelace

Bazel is a great tool and has inspired dozens of imitators. It's success and desire to fulfill the need of many requirements (arch, platform, OS etc..) has resulted in a Bazel much more complicated than the original incarnation when the principles were simpler and needed everything to be vendored. Proper use of Bazel now almost always requires a hand-tuned .bazelrc file and a dizzying array of external rules. While bzlmod has made figuring out the dependency version management it's continued to feed the growth of complexity. What can we do to make Bazel usable and simple on it's own.

Principal Engineer, Confluent

I am a software engineer, father, and wishful surfer. I currently work at Google and am also pursuing a Ph.D. in computer science at the University of California Santa Cruz. More relevant to Nix, I am a NixOS enthusiast, which has led me to rethink basic Linux primitives.
