The weirdest part here is that the author worked on a migration from their NIH build tool to Bazel for 2 years and never once mentions why all of that was even happening, and by the end of his employment, it was still not done.

He links the pants-devel announcement and here is what it says:

> Twitter has made the decision to migrate from Pants to Bazel as our primary build tool, as we believe that we have unique needs that Bazel can better address

Pants was your own fucking build tool that you invented, controlled and maintained! How on earth can it not meet your unique needs.
