In the tapestry of these past moons, I, a wanderer of codes, have traversed realms, crafting visions in diverse programming tongues. From the ethereal realms of low-level C++, where custom network protocols dance, to the sacred shores of a nascent data lake, where a NiFi pipeline unfurls its serpentine beauty. Alas, amidst this symphony of creation, I stumbled upon a disheartening truth—a recurring melody in my recent mistakes, born of shallow introspection and hasty assumptions.

In the past few days I decided to spend some time playing with the spring framework. My favorite build environment for JAVA is gradle, so the first step was to figure out how to have Webpack and NPN seamlessly work together. I also like for my code to support being compiled from both Windows and Linux. The major issue was how to configure the gradle build file. In fact, by following the instruction found online, WebPack and NPN would fail on Windows for multiple reasons (one of them was path related).
