Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week.

My final take on Gradle (vs. Maven)
Gradle is built on the premise that flexibility is good, while experience has shown @nfrankel the opposite. Irrelevant customizations bring no benefit and are easy to develop but expensive to maintain.
That's it for our weekly Top 7 for this Tuesday! Keep an eye on dev.to this week for daily content and discussions...and be sure to keep an eye on this series in the future. You might just be in it!
