The greatest lie the daemon ever told was "(subsequent builds will be faster)"

I was migrating an #Android project to #Gradle 8 at work. It was painful and underestimated. But the weekends are more pleasant after such a shitstorm at the end of the week. Happy weekend everyone!

@travisfw sorry for the shameless self promotion. We are trying to fix this. 
Code formatting discussions are terrible 
. Where and when to add a line break? How to indent? Where to put the braces? Which quotes to use?
In my new article I show how to end them simply with Spotless and Gradle.

Great news! The Reproducible Builds Gradle plugin by GradleX is now endorsed by reproducible-builds.org! 
It applies reproducibility settings to key Gradle tasks—ensuring deterministic, verifiable builds. Let’s make reproducibility the default!

Introducing "Firebender"—because who wouldn't want their code edited by an #AI that ignores your files and holds the power to magically spawn #gradle runs?

If I had to pick the thing that's the most confusing in #Gradle after Configuration's API it would be how Copy works. I'm trying to copy from a directory while filtering entries by name for an hour now and am apparently to dump to understand how to correctly nest from, into, and exclude blocks into each other...

A short post on how to optionally skip #gradle tasks when computing the skip condition is expensive.

Been playing around with numtide's blueprint and devshell to set up a dev environment for a #Gradle application - turns out, it's pretty fun!
What started as just a simple #DevShell ended up with pre-commit hooks, a basic gradle derivation and a #NixOS module with tests.
This should be a good starting point for my next projects.
#Nix continues to be a rabbit hole I love falling into 
New Blog Post!
I've been working on optimizing Gradle build support in nixpkgs! In my latest post, I take a deep dive into how it currently works, the limitations of the existing approach, and an optimization that improves efficiency and maintainability.
Check it out here: https://britter.dev/blog/2025/02/19/nixpkgs-gradle-optimization/
I’d love to hear your thoughts! Also, if your team needs Gradle or NixOS consulting, I’d be happy to help.

On Wednesday (19. Feb) I speak about Dependency Management and Modularization in #Java projects with #Gradle and the Java Module System #JPMS.
The talk takes place here in #Hamburg at the #TechnikerKrankenkasse headquarters.
https://www.meetup.com/devtalk-tk/events/305513967/
The topic is something I work on/with frequently and I spoke about this before. You can find a collection of materials and links here:
