Gradle's Main Problem

This is just a placeholder, but the seed idea is that Gradle suffers from the same problem as Ant did -- they're both implemented as programming languages in their own right. This is out of a misplaced desire to be highly flexible. The result: the system backfires, causing these build scripts typically to manifest both the complexities of a build system AND a hunk of enterprise software.

Your Own, Personal, Council of Elrond

 This is a placeholder, but the idea is that ChatGPT is capable of creating filters that are, for all practical purposess, also personalities.  Combined with a bit of the app's precious memory space, you can build a small but effective "council of Elrond" that can give you both targeted and faceted responses.  The effect feels something like having your own personal group of advice-givers.

There are things you need to be aware of.  First, filters may tend to simply agree with you and support your decisions. It's generally more effective to make sure their personality profile includes some critical evaluation of your thoughts.

Second, the way you define these personalities is a direct input into how the council will operate. If you have one contrarian, then you are likely to get some lively feedback loops that could bring insights. On the other hand, if you're actually aiming for humor, you might want to make them ALL contrarian and see how they bounce off of each other.  This latter element is a variation on the "Incompetent Council" pattern seen in TV comedies such as "Vicar of Dibley".
