My Dos and Don’ts in sbt Build Definitions

From the website:

So without further ado, here are my personal Dos and Don’ts

• Don’t make separate build.sbt files for your different modules
• Do stay away from bare settings
• Don’t let your settings leak into modules they don’t need to be in
• Do regularly go over your entire build definition
• Don’t shade things unless you absolutely have to
• Do stick to lazy vals everywhere
• Don’t ever hardcode constants
• Do stay away from crazy meta meta build stuff
• Don’t put stuff in project/ unless it is a collection of something or is “standalone”
• Do have a conversation with your team about standards and consistency
• Don’t make your own way to do something if sbt already provides a way
• Do document it when you do weird sh*t
• Don’t add stuff to your build definition you don’t understand
