I think IntelliJ is excellent. I can't imagine a better IDE.

IntelliJ doesn't have a dedicated build system. You can choose from no system, Maven, and Gradle.

No system is often good enough for basic projects, but not Android development. Support libraries, configuration, API versions, NDK support, etc. make Gradle a requirement. Gradle is the official build system of Android for a reason, it's not something that Google just added willy-nilly to Android Studio.

As an Android developer, I LOVE Gradle. I think it's a vastly superior build system. I also use it for complex desktop applications, and applications that run on both desktop and Android, using shared code and OS-dependent code (the module system makes this very easy to organize).

>Now imagine a financial system where all the wealthy have to do simply own money... to get more money.

You mean the current system?

That also suprised me- I know that they spend a great deal on optimizations to reduce backend cost, improve uptime / reliability, etc., but I don't see much on the customer side myself...

Unsurprising results- calories intake & expenditure defines weight loss/gain, not other nutrition information like fat, carbs, vitamins, etc.

It's silly to brag about your minimal code if you use external libraries that contain millions of characters.

I'm sure we could figure out a way to use carrots as a building material, but I'm still going to use steel.

You didn't read the article carefully enough- the 250 lbs refers to the output of one specific harvester, not the output from all 30k coffee trees in CA.

No- crypto has no intrinsic value. Energy used for mining doesn't give it value. It only has perceived value. If the crypto hype dies, it will drop to 0, even if plenty of people are mining still.
