Yeah, that's an effective way to sell someone's promotion, but it's always a promise that is never met and instead it's a constant source of problems.

Sometimes reinventing the wheel just buys you a wobbly, squeaky wheel.

When I was at a large money center bank a constant source of problems was trying to deploy the 70+ microservices backing our business unit's main application during "release weekend", or for ad-hoc reasons like the log4shell vulnerability patch. It was very frustrating for our build pipelines to compile / test / static scan the entire millions of lines codebase when only a few libraries have changed. This build often took a few hours for our largest application and at least 10 minutes for each microservice. A few times we ran into breaking api changes and only realized it after it was deployed to production. This is the use case Bazel is serving - god like observability across your organizations code base, quickly compiled.
