Or just write a make file and cut all the bazel build optimization out.
They don’t put instructions on how to start a F1 car inside the cockpit, you don’t hop into a fighter jet and look for the push to start easy button, it’s expected that when you’re at that level you bring expertise.
But seriously, there is such a thing as industrialization. Google is notorious though for hiring 180 IQ people and getting them to perform at a 35 IQ level because there the documentation makes no sense, a procedure which should be done in one step really takes 300, fighting with C++, etc. They can afford to do it because it is just so profitable to help that guy who shows up on every. single. video. roll. who says “you can’t lose weight by exercising”, “you can’t lose weight by cutting carbs” who links to some video that drones on hours and hours and signs you up for some subscription you can never cancel to sell scam supplements.
Shame on them.
BTW, with high-complexity software there is enough question that you got it working right that you expect a significant process of testing that it works for your application. For instance if you got a hydrocode for simulating the explosion of a nuclear weapon you would not take for granted that you had built it properly and were using it properly until you'd done a lot of validation work. A system like that isn't a product unless it comes with that validation suite. The same is true for automated trading software (gonna hook it up straight to the market without validation? hope you have $100M to burn!)
... now there was that time a really famous CS professor e-mailed me a short C program that was said to do something remarkable that crashed before it even got into main() which did teach me a thing about C but that's not what a professional programmer does.
Its just frustrating that all the comments about an interesting library seem to be customer service complaints from people who never need to reach for this library. I was hoping for a real discussion, something I could learn from.
