Many startups can now work in ways that were only fathomable in Big Tech before. Do you want a build system like Bazel for your monorepo? You can have it. Do you want to rewrite your app in a faster language? Sure, go ahead. Do you want to have native apps in all platforms? Yes, please.

I did something like this before Ai, with CUE + Dagger wrapped in a small Go binary. One problem I have seen with Ai generated projects is that they hit a limit due to conditional complexity. They have a strong tendency to add more code (local optimizations, deep if-else nesting) for edge cases, rather than stepping back to think about how to simplify problem and code.

Funny thing, here in my company we're doing something similar, with CUE in a small Go library. You might be interested in it [1]. It generates a lot of boilerplate infrastructure code from the reference Cue files.

You can cut out the middle man and use https://github.com/marxarelli/masse, a CUE frontend for BuildKit.

However I don’t think anything using BuildKit is as fine grained as Bazel.
