Gradle 6.4 Has Finally Java Module Support

Java 9 release introduced the concept of modules within the Java language. Java 9 was released in September 2017.

Until now creating Java modules was quite cumbersome and Gradle did only offer limited support through external plugins.

Finally with the release of Gradle 6.4 in May 2020 software developers can easily generate well-behaved Java modules. We had to wait almost three years for native support!

Support for modules is native in the Java plugin. You only need to add one configuration line. Start using Java modules and have language support to enforce modularity in your product.

Four Powerful Sentences

You are a line manager, a Scrum master, a senior developer. Investigate the use of four powerful sentences.
- Sorry (one word)
- Thank You (two words)
- I am Wrong (three words)
- Can I Help You? (four words)

Walk the talk. Be a leader. Prove you have honesty and empathy.
You shall use these four sentences below as a way to calibrate how you interact with your teams.

As a rule of thumb state honestly and genuinely these four sentences multiple times each week. Otherwise you are probably more a command and control boss and not truly a servant leader.
