Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it?
Hyper-large tech companies managing hyper-large monorepos using Bazel (google), buck (Facebook), please (thought machine), pants (Twitter, Foursquare & Square) enjoy them but also have a lot of resources devoted to running and maintaining it.

Oh excellent, then better (and more portable!) tools are available:

Is it possible to be an android developer ONLY with the documentation?
That's a good bridge into saying that we don't use pretty much any standard tooling. Our build system is Buck, we use Mercurial instead of Git, and the IDE of choice seems to be Visual Studio (although Android Studio is supported, with some custom plugins required).

Best/Worst C++ IDE you have ever used?
Didn't know it was python based. Their github repo shows 90% of the code is java, only 2% is python. Regardless, C++ build systems should be written by people who are familiar with C++ and the specific problems they need to solve. That means the build system should be written in C++ or C and not in java, lua, or python. I certainly do not want to install python just to build my C++ programs in a CI environment, it just increases my build complexity and attack surface
- Are there any java build tools which have not been written in Java?, If not, what could be the reason?

Is anyone using TDD on a significant Android app? Any tips?
The landing page for buck says the important bits: https://buck.build/
The landing page of https://buck.build/ explains some of the most basic stuff. This Meta Engineering blog post summarizes some of the deeper optimizations possible through buck: https://engineering.fb.com/2017/11/09/android/rethinking-android-app-compilation-with-buck/

It seems unlikely that FB would give up on Litho, which is extremely performance focused, to use react native instead. Not for their bread & butter flagship news feed anyway https://fblitho.com/

Is it possible to be an android developer ONLY with the documentation?
Facebook's internal android repository is still mostly Java, but there is a large push to switch to Kotlin, and Kotlin's internal support has grown dramatically over the last couple of years. Coroutines have recently been allowed (although I'm personally not a fan of that decision). Flow/Compose are not necessary as we have internal tools that do similar things (looking at you, Litho).
