Not really. Google has an excellent intranet search engine and mostly relies on in-house tools instead of commercial services (see https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg). As a result its employees don't really need to rely on Stack Overflow, etc.

Also, see https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg, a list of open source alternatives to internal Google tech stacks.

I found this super useful. It has a bit more suggestions than the article.

Refreshing article! For people with less time check out https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg which tracks open source implementations of Google internal tools (also linked in the article)

Also I have been looking to move away from Makefiles and bash scripts and Bazel does come up more often. What are your experiences working it and how does it compare to Blaze?
