Okay so the dumb part is a lot of this is me abstracting away our complex build system. I've basically bubble-gummed a dedicated build system in top of it for only the tasks I do. At a certain point if I start adding configurations or timing I might as well just wrap it in gradle or something. But the system that I'm calling is already their attempt at simplifying another build system that's underneath it that was written by the old guard using arcane sorcery. The whole thing is a mess
