  • As someone who used gradle then didn’t for a few years and looked back it, damn did they absolutely butcher the whole thing, not to mention now with the dual kotlin/groovy stuff the documentation is incomprehensible and achieving something that was easy as fuck in groovy like copying some files is a nightmare in kotlin.

    The parallel builds seems to be almost entirely gone, de dependency management got an even weirder file format. I have no idea what they are doing


  • Bugs frustrate me more because I can often guess at why they are happening and how to fix them but can’t just apply the fix myself.

    That’s like a big portion of bugs lmao, lots of bugs exist because the spaghettification of the code makes it too costly to fix. Do you really think devs don’t know why the bugs are there? They usually can’t be fixed because there is no time or no willingness from management or the root cause is so deeply rooted it requires a shit ton of work to be able to fix it at all.
