Someone is going to read this and start to retooling their five person developer organisation because: "Facebook uses it".

It's funny that the Sapling command is "sl", that's going to conflict with installations of "stream locomotive".

lol I've suffered under that before... except it was an ex-Googler forcing bazel on us, all of a 10 person dev team working on a codebase that was probably less than 15,000 LOC across three or four packages that just _had_ to be packaged into a monorepo.

I worked with a guy who loved to use "Microsoft does it" as justification. Likewise, my suggestions such as "maybe a consistent naming convention for these components would be sensible" were met with (literally) "hmm I haven't seen MS suggest this". That was my shortest developer gig.

Once it was setup was it really that painful? I’ve worked with buck and for day to day usage it didn’t really affect much.
