alt Hacker NewsI should really give it another look, I usually ended up not adopting it for projects because of the boilerplate and high setup overheard, but those are both things that ai agents can usually be trusted with. Maybe the calculus has changed.

It’s gotten easier of late because Bazel modules are nice and Gazelle has started support plugins so it can do build file generation for other languages.
I don’t like generative AI for rote tasks like this, but I’ve had good luck using generative AI to write deterministic code generators that I can commit to a project and reuse.
Yeah Bazel is a PITA to do yourself. I haven't tried but I'm confident Claude et al. would handle it just fine. By similar logic I recently adopted NixOS for a lot of my servers; Claude is perfectly happy to slog through the pain of Nix configs for me.
