Will AI replace Gradle developers?

No, AI will not replace Gradle developers. AI can automate some of those tasks, such as the creation of build scripts or optimization of configurations, it is the role and responsibility of the Gradle developer to adapt and craft the build processes for particular project needs. Such concerns as dependency management, solving build problems, and workflow customization require profound understanding and critical thinking-skills that AI cannot master.
Gradle developers integrate tools, make them compatible with environments, and perform performance optimization for a continuous integration pipeline, too, which requires human involvement. AI aids in the automation of repeatable tasks to achieve higher efficiency, it cannot replace a human developer when it comes to complex build system maintenance, troubleshooting, and innovation.
