main thing i don't like about this idea is that it feels "ungrounded." had a DM conversation with which helped clarify this a lot - i don't want coaching to be the primary thing i do, i want something else more concrete that grounds and tests the coaching
Conversation
it's like the old "rationalists should have secret identities" - if you're in the job of going meta real hard on human nature or w/e you still need an object-level pursuit that grounds and tests your insights and i don't really know where to look for that yet

Something I think would be helpful for us is like, a way to organise inconsistent workflow? No assumption of 9 to 5 and no or weak assumption of being available on demandish for lots of work

~ADHD swarm workflow~
this is truly the holy grail right here
to some extent i feel more like i should be a technical manager than a fiddly-bits engineer
write specifications, sketch out solutions for the hard problems, mentor people, etc
