Always grateful when 'make' just works, even if it's a wrapper around a bunch of baroque nonsense, especially when it's a wrapper around a bunch of baroque nonsense.
I guess I'm old, but “clone, build in one step, install in one step” should be the baseline minimum standard of codebase ergonomics.
I mean, you switched to aardvark/gruntmaven because bazel ninja womble didn't integrate well with chumbawumba sconsburgler and a fraggle zumba donkastonk pipeline wouldn't support reflocolative combobulates? Great. Nobody should have to give a shit about that to build your software. They should be able to type 'make' and watch and if that breaks it’s a bug.

@mhoye "Other people have to be able to build this" is not the social norm for the community bazel et al service
@owen I haven’t yet found a project that relies on bazel that deigns to acknowledge that other people exist.
@mhoye @owen why would you bother to build it? Just run our 9 containers on your server. https://github.com/michielbdejong/fxa-self-hosting

One could go so far as to call it a shipping ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships.
Not me, of course, but someone could.
@silvermoon82 I am sure that there are places on the internet where people are shipping shipping ship shipping ships shipping shipping ships and ship shipping ships shipping shipping ships.
