This 30-minute Linux Foundation talk explores how developers can effectively work across multiple programming languages within Bazel's polyglot build system. Learn how to navigate the challenges of Developer Infrastructure engineering, where you might need to understand Python's pip, debug Go's code generation, troubleshoot Rust's C++ interfaces, and optimize TypeScript typechecking—all in a single day across different operating systems. Speaker Alex Eagle embraces the concept of "imposter syndrome" and reveals the hidden similarities between various languages and their Bazel integrations, providing strategies to "know just enough" to accomplish tasks efficiently before moving on to the next challenge. Discover practical approaches for working confidently in unfamiliar language ecosystems within large, multi-language codebases.
