Yeah, that's a good rule. Except, do you want to build Debug or Release? Or maybe RelWithDebugInfo? And do you want that with sanitizers maybe? And what the sanitizers' options should be? Do you want to compile your tests too, if you want to run them later on a different machine? And what about that dependency that takes two hours to compile, maybe you just want to reuse the previous compilation of it? And if so, where to take that from? Etc. etc.
Before long, you need another script that will output the train of options to your `build.sh`.
(If Fortune 500 companies can do a one-line build with zero parameters, I suspect I'd be very bored there.)
Of course we had parameters but we never ship debug builds. Treat everything like production.
If you want to debug, docker compose or add logs and metrics to seek what you find.
