Comment on Burnt out on a three-day week

over my long career, i have had the (dis)pleasure of working with many of these career/organization/employment consultant/coach types. if i can pass on a piece of advice for younger folk: avoid them. dont waste your money.

especially now, if you want coach-style advice, just put your thoughts/problems into chatgpt or whatever. that's probably all the coach is going to do anyway.

I would never advise anyone to get mental health advice from a computer, but if you're contemplating using the service of those 'life coach', yeah, consider using an AI. Even Emacs' therapist.

yes, sorry, to be abundantly clear i am not suggesting to replace a licensed therapist with ai.

i am suggesting to replace "life coach", "job coach", etc.
