If you've heard of the #MavenHijack supply chain threat πŸ”’, here is a great blog post from the Gradle eng team describing how it works, how to detect it, and how to prevent it from happening in #Gradle Build Tool πŸ‘‡

Detecting Maven-Hijack-style risks in Gradle builds with the Dependency Analysis Gradle Plugin
JVM builds have lived with β€œduplicate classes on the classpath” for years. Most of the time, it's an annoying source of NoSuchMethodError or a β€œwhy did production suddenly break when I reordered dependencies...

🌐 #Develocity Universal Cache 🌐

Three revolutionary caching technologies in one place:

πŸ“¦ Artifact Cache - Caching inputs before the build

⏱️ Setup Cache - Caching environments at build time

πŸ”„ Build Cache - Caching outputs for future builds

The #OpenAI team built the #Sora #Android app in 28 days with #Codex. But the real lesson?

They rely on [./gradlew detektFix] to enforce code quality, proving that #Gradle remains the single source of truth for software integrity.

We call it the #Develocity #IntelliJ plugin because it now supports #Gradle and #Maven, and leverages Develocity #BuildScan :-)

Despite the confusing name, this runs entirely offline and you don't need develocity license and a server instance to use it. Give it a spin if you want to get a sense where your build is slow.

A theme that really stood out at @gradle.com's DPE Summit conference is that while developers feel productive using GenAI for coding, this isn't necessarily translating into more features/fixes/customer value for organisations. So I wrote a blog post about it

The developer productivity paradox: Why faster coding doesn’t mean faster software delivery
Developers are using Generative AI to crank out code faster than ever before, but somehow, the metrics aren’t showing an overall productivity improvement. So what’s going on?

Very good summary mainly about the findings of the last DORA report.
Fix the basics, LLM-based tooling may help. The basics are not sound, the firehose of code production will create more problems than it solves.
