Bruce and James have struggled with Gradle for years and Bruce this week blogged about some of his gripes: <a href="https://www.bruceeckel.com/2021/01/02/the-problem-with-gradle/">The Problem with Gradle</a>. This prompted <a href="https://melix.github.io/blog/2021/01/the-problem-with-gradle.html">a lengthy response from Cédric Champeau</a>.
James has mostly stuck to Java 8 and Bruce is exploring Java 11.
Finally, James rants about SemVer for the 3.1.4'th time.
