I think it depends on taste . I was there when our teams switch to maven and I think 2 weeks in our devs hated it because they had the weirdest requirements and needed flexibility . Another dev suggest gradle because of this and now they run with gradle as far as I am concerned . So from my point . if you have something simple to build . Maven if you wanna do something really fucked up . gradle <| sep |> It ' s 8 am right now so nah <| sep |> Thank you . The site you described sounds like OKCupid . I ' ve been on that dating site along with a couple of others for years I live in California and I ' ve consulted with my male friends and we all have the same experience with online dating no matter what kind of emails we write long , short , silly , intelligent , funny , romantic , etc . about 98 % of them get ignored . We have to invest about three hours into profile reading and email writing to get one response , which usually leads to nothing . Online dating is absolutely horrible here , next to worthless . Have you experienced the same problem in the UK ?
