The best coaches and teachers I’ve had were the ones that gave me constructive feedback.

Everything time you interact with AI, it responds with things like “That’s a great idea!” That’s not a coach, that’s gaslighting and manipulation.

I had to have my cat euthanized last night, and I feel fragile this morning.
