Tools of the Trade
summary
Company migrates to a monorepo per platform so API-breaking changes update in one atomic commit instead of cascading across many repos, and adopts Buck for builds claiming better performance on codebases with 1000+ modules; an Okay Buck Gradle plugin generates Buck configs and exopackage cuts USB deploys by up to 30 seconds. Architecture uses RIBs state-tree with attach/detach nodes to keep business logic out of views. Tooling includes submit queue to keep master green, Motif DI codegen, Autodispose, Crumb metadata, Artist/Stylist UI codegen, ErrorProne/NullAway, and Thrifty for compact network models.
