hey folks. @busy-vase-39202 has suggested to put together a blog post from a Slack message I've posted regarding editing the

BUILD

files programmatically using Bazel build tools. Comments are very welcome 🙂 here's the first draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y3fCbx_Dap5Qk5L2VRFI6pPat0ctGP92FyYRq5IY6RY/edit?usp=sharing

Looks awesome! Great post 😄 ❤️

This looks great! Thank you. I love the helpful orientation, and the additions you incorporated. When you're done with that yapf check and otherwise satisfied it's done, gimme another ping. @hundreds-father-404 @happy-kitchen-89482 @witty-crayon-22786 any feedback?

thanks! will review before EOD

Looks great! Thanks for writing this up. One comment: it might be worth mentioning that although the semantics are similar, Pants BUILD files are typically much more succinct than Bazel's, because of dependency inference.

dependency inference + sensible defaults?

looks great: added some comments and suggestions

This is really good, thanks!

@witty-crayon-22786 any final comments, or is it good to go now?

no, looks great! i ➕ ’d Eric’s comment this morning

Thanks everyone!
