When starting new projects I always prefer to have initial setup as minimal as possible. This applies to Kotlin and Android projects that most of the time use Gradle as build system. Gradle can be quite tedious to configure, especially with Kotlin and Android that require extra plugins. Also Gradle project can be set up either with Groovy scripts or Kotlin DSL. In addition configurations for Android & Kotlin change over time.

Just migrated this page from Jekyll to Hugo with awesome Terminal theme (kudos to panr). Jekyll was so problematic to a point I didn’t want to deal with it whenever I had the idea to post something. In addition GitHub was repeatedly nudging to upgrade some Ruby dependencies due to security vulnerabilities. Liking Hugo so far. This is how this page looked before.
