Can anyone help me use a snapshot?

I'm using the tutorial from <@U0FEKELNQ> but I think it might be out of date? I've been trying for the past hour to no avail even though it seems like I followed his steps correctly (leaving me to think that they're slightly out of date since Feb)

<http://rahulrav.com/blog/using_snapshot_builds.html>

What I did?
1. Go here <https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-androidx-master-dev/grid> and find the change I want. In my case, it's "<https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-androidx-master-dev/grid?head=6986705&amp;tail=6986705|6986705> 2020-11-20 13:15 UTC-5"
2. That row does not have a field in the androidx_snapshots column, so I follow the blogs advice to go up until I find one. I found "<https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-androidx-master-dev/grid?head=6986705&amp;tail=6986705|6986705> 2020-11-20 13:15 UTC-5" which is ~3 places up.
3. I take the url from the article `maven { url '<https://ci.android.com/builds/submitted/6228642/androidx_snapshot/latest/raw/repository/>' }` and I replae the build number in that url, with the build number from step 2.
4. Placed that in my root build.gradle and sync. That works. Hit build, get an error: "   &gt; Could not find androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT."
