Become a Gradle expert in 3 easy steps!

Step 1. Your build fails "for no reason" and your small team has no dedicated build support. Everyone is complaining in Slack and you can't bear to look at another poor quality Geordi meme.

A Geordi meme template. Geordi scoffs at the notion of fixing his broken builds, and prefers instead to complain about them

You copy a portion of the stacktrace and paste it into Google. Turns out jcenter is experiencing yet another outage. You look at the suggested workarounds and do a find-and-replace: s/jcenter/mavenCentral. Your build works again! You don't really understand why, but you also don't care. Back to writing beautiful UI!

Step 2. Your build fails "for no reason" and your small team has no dedicated build support. Everyone remembers that you fixed it last time and ask you to look into it.

Step 3. Now you're the expert. Congrats!
