And if you don't, of course, you're sanctioned, similarly. So it's what we call a reinforcement system. It's a reward-punishment system. Positive and negative.

Build CockroachDB on NixOS
(entirely serious, this is how you do it, last tested January 12, 2023)
Summary: you can use nixpkgs's bazel_5
to build and run CockroachDB's bazelbuilder Docker container, which will use the bazel version it really wants to use for building cockroach

the resulting cockroach
binary.
