InfoQ have published "The Efficiency Paradox," complete with transcript.
Apparently I said things like:
- "Am I optimizing for the right thing, or should I maybe be just a little bit more jellyfish?"
- "If you do the same experiment to your stool, it's much less cruel"

Bug fixes and…
☕ Full #Java25 support
🔧 Native task graph visualization
💼 Enhanced console output
Please report any 🐛 on GitHub!
With Java 25, there is finally a CPU-time profiler in the OpenJDK.
You can read more about this new profiler and some implementation details in my blog series starting with mostlynerdless.de/blog/2025/06... #java25

From the #Gradle Community:
"Parallel Bits - Which Parts of Gradle Run in Parallel", from the knowledgable @liutikas.net 🫶
www.liutikas.net/2025/07/29/P...
It is actually better. The Jenkins community has invested in devtools and DevX for years. It addressed many common problems like untangling classloading mess or plugin dependencies, as @liutikas.net wrote recently.
Java frameworks have very similar challenges, and should learn from each other
You should try Jenkins plugin development 😘

📅 A few months ago, we introduced Caupain, a simple open-source tool to check for dependency updates in a @gradle.com project.
Come meet the team who created it at the next @bordeauxkt.techhub.social.ap.brid.gy meetup in our Bordeaux office on September 11th!

At last! @gradle.com 9.1 (still rc1) offers a "native" way to visualize the task graph with `--task-graph` !
(Also now runs on jdk 25)

Slide 1: car brands using #curl
Slide 2: car brands sponsoring or paying for #curl support
