Tyler Williams

Want to create the build system of the future? I'm hiring! Come join the team :) 🌁 In SF but open to remote 💸 Good compensation and benefits 🤗 Experienced devs building a culture of respect 💾 Work on open source dm / tyler@buildbuddy.io / buildbuddy.io/jobs/software-…

@buildbuddy is hiring ops-minded engineers. Closest known title is SRE. Really the job is "offer world-best build perf & uptime while driving customer costs down using colocated hardware and the cloud." Write me / @siggi / @tylerbw to learn more.

I've been building at the intersection of Bazel + coding agents for a few months and have some fun things to share. The first one is a hermetic, cross-platform Claude Code toolchain let's you easily use Claude in Bazel builds, tests, and runs. Link & more below!

A question we get asked all of the time, is "Why is my Bazel build slow?" To help Bazel users out, Maggie Lou put together this awesome resource on how you can use BuildBuddy to debug and fix slow builds. buildbuddy.io/blog/debugging…

@jmmv <drive by but> I just got a FW4B and put pfSense on it last week; it's been a treat! I coupled it with 2 unifi aps and a poe switch and it's suchhh a big upgrade over the google wifi stuff it's replacing. never going back :) didn't do it but you can even flash coreboot on it?

Little upgrade to finally replace the really old, noisy and energy inefficient PC in the garage. This is smaller than I expected. Now, to install pfSense!

Really excited to welcome @jdhollen to the BuildBuddy team! After over 10 years at Google working on Search, Maps, and Ads - we're very lucky to have such an incredible engineer helping us build the future of developer tooling. buildbuddy.io/blog/welcoming…

An incredible blog post by our very own Lulu Zhang on how we used @ClickHouseDB to bring trends queries for our largest customers from over 24 minutes down to just 317 milliseconds. buildbuddy.io/blog/clickhous…

@siggi @brentleyjones yes I should add, we are FULLY REMOTE

Our users are always asking for better tools to debug Bazel remote cache hits. To help out, @brandon_duffany wrote a really great blog post on how to use the new cache requests card he built in order to answer their most frequently asked questions. buildbuddy.io/blog/bazel-rem…

Incredible blog post by the team @stripe. If you want all this (Firecracker microVMs, snapshotting, remote execution, caching) without the hassle of building it yourself — @buildbuddy has you covered! stripe.com/blog/fast-secu…
