For the podcast this week, what's the best TV theme tune? Feel free to say why as well if you wish!

@eloffd Aren't all numbers oddly specific?

Can you think of a reason for choosing such an oddly specific number?

After working with @buildkite for a few years now, they are hands down one of the best CI providers out there. So supercharge your Bazel build with Aspect Workflows and Buildkite 🚀

All hand dryers are terrible. Why can no one make a good one?

Just announced aspect.build on-stage at #bazelcon. Aspect CLI now GA! Make the bazel command fit within your developer workflows using plugins. Not seeing promised Bazel benefits on CI/CD? We've packed up the infrastructure you need in our Workflows product.

Excited to be back in person for Bazelcon this year!

To clarify, runner.circleci.com/api/v2/tasks and runner.circleci.com/api/v2/running

@CircleCI Is the tasks API currently experiencing issues? Getting routing errors from every request

@joygao There are some great ones we listed here. My favorite easter egg style flag is --unconditional_warning which can be pretty useful blog.aspect.dev/bazelrc-flags

Discovering Bazel flags is like participating in an Easter egg hunt. There’s so many goodies but they are so hard to find 😂

"Let's make scrolling finite again"

Can @Spotify add the feature where you scrub back in a track it actually plays the track backwards? I'd like to feel like I'm spinning back a vinyl

My recent talk from #BazelX @skillsmatter conference is up now. Learn about scaling your @bazelbuild builds with @buildkite skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/17…

@jin_ Great list of similar tools and other resources on reproducible-builds.org

Is there anything that diffoscope can't diff? This tool is incredible for debugging bad builds. diffoscope.org

We are pleased to announce that @MattMackay of @aspect_dev will be joining us at #BazelX In the session "Fast, Green — Choose Two: A Buildkite Case Study", Matt will share performance tricks for scaling @bazelbuild with @buildkite Learn more at bit.ly/3PjWC0Z

Thanks @bazelbuild for the basil! 🌿

@victorsavkin Nice overview - I'm not sure I follow the code generation section though, Nx has special case support for code generation via plugins but everything is then listed as external? Isn't 'external' another style of plugin? I'm not familiar with Nx codegen though.

monorepo.tools Everything you need to know about monorepos, and the tools to build them. #monorepos

@AlexOkrushko @RoyaltonResorts @royaltonnegril @SunwingVacay @hospiten Ah that's not too bad. Enjoy the rest of your Christmas and new year!

@MattMackay @RoyaltonResorts @royaltonnegril @SunwingVacay @hospiten Terminal 3 wasn't that bad - maybe 45 mins. If you are flying with a child over 5 years old they will be sent for a COVID test. My wife also got randomly chosen as well. This adds another 45 mins.

Do NOT travel to Royalton Negril, Jamaica @RoyaltonResorts @royaltonnegril (tag @SunwingVacay) They produce **fake** positive results for COVID (in combination with @hospiten ) and then keep you hostage. How do I know? 👇 🧵 RT for reach please!!! 1/
