5 days agoGradle is so insanely over-engineered that it can do almost anything, yet so fragile that it can take weeks of bashing your head against the wall to get your build scripts working if you’re doing anything remotely complicated with your setup (or even just upgrading Gradle versions). Everything is so finicky that even if you do things exactly as the documentation says, you’ll still have to finagle things around nine times out of ten to get it to compile.
The user guide is longer than some novels.
There’s an old video where someone converted songs to MIDI piano and the vocals are still almost distinguishable. It’s purely an illusion and it only works if the listener knows the lyrics, but it’s pretty convincing.
Check it out.
