THE RISE OF ADVANCED BUILD SYSTEMS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

The software development process is becoming increasingly complex, leading to slower and more unreliable builds that hinder developer productivity and drive up infrastructure costs. A new generation of advanced build systems is emerging to address this issue by leveraging features like subdivision of builds, deterministic dependency management, and remote execution to deliver faster and more reliable builds. These systems are being adopted by companies across various industries, promising to transform the way software is developed and shipped, and ultimately making the age-old excuse "my code's compiling" a relic of the past.
