🤔 Is this a #Composer normalization quirk caused by how #PHP encodes empty vs non-empty maps when regenerating composer.lock?

`stability-flags` is logically a map, but when empty Composer may serialize it as `[]` instead of `{}` especially after;

composer update --prefer-dist --prefer-stable

- Same dependency graph
- Different lockfile bytes / hash

Semantic determinism ✅
Byte-level determinism ❌

New post: The New Bottleneck

AI agents generate code faster than build systems can compile it. What was once a problem for large orgs is getting democratized.

At @tuist we want to make developer productivity accessible to everyone.

At #BazelCon, Malte Poll presented rules_img, a faster and more efficient approach to building container images with Bazel. 🛠️

Build systems need interoperability, not tool wars. Like shipping containers standardized logistics, we need standard caching contracts.

Current enterprise models bundle tech + service wrong. Compare to Supabase: one click, DB in any region.

Build caching should work the same. Select locations, get cache infra there.

Fabrik aims to be that standard.

Think Bazel is just for code? Think again.

Build system caching: the mechanics are similar across platforms.

Cache observability: that's where specialization matters. Working with Xcode means reverse-engineering Apple's undocumented formats to surface meaningful insights about cache performance.

At @tuist we're building Xcode-native caching with first-class observability, so iOS/macOS teams can optimize their builds with data, not guesswork.
