  Everything feels beta. It crashes on about 10% of our builds with an inscrutable java error deep in the bowels of bazel. The solution, according to the bazel authors, is to rebuild, which works so our ci pipeline has an auto retry mechanism because bazel is so buggy. I’m not joking. On top of a that, everyone on my team had to learn skylark, their rules for docker, their rules for node, their... I’m exhausted just thinking about it... Why bother unless you’ve got google size? It’s good software written by smart people, but I know I made a mistake in choosing it for our build solution.
