Coaching doesn't imply superiority. Most coaching can be done with little to no context and the goal is to guide the other person in finding the right answer on their own. I think you might be confusing coaching with mentoring.

As an example, I attended a coaching training session and when we broke out in groups I played the coach role. The other individual brought up a concrete issue they were having and I was able to unblock them and I never met that person before. I was their guide even though I had no context (but I have experience mentoring and coaching).

I've been a manager for years and there's a lot outside of raw technical ability that a good coach and mentor can keep you honest on. Rarely will you find someone who's reached full potential or who doesn't want to improve at all (maybe surprisingly based on your comment but I have found seniors to be the most eager to grow)

I know Italy is one of them, you can't sign off any project if you haven't passed "the bar" or however it's called to have the proper credentials to be called an engineer.

I'm writing my first novel. For so long I've been looking for that non-work, non-tech activity that would take all my focus outside of working hours. I was having a hard time finding the right thing and I've always enjoyed story telling since I was a kid. So I just started at the beginning of the year and I'm at 5000 words. My goal is to reach 100000 and this far the only obstacle is time constraints. It feels so effortless, which doesn't necessarily make it easy and it's plenty of work. I look forward to it every day and it's becoming my happy place. I'm averaging 1000 words a day so I'm going I'll keep the pace. I already have more than a few other novel ideas in mind but they'll have to wait. Wiring is so much fun!

In today's day and age I definitely would. That's my perspective though and we don't have to have the same expectations from the tada list.

"Today I meditated through drawing" is an accomplishment to me worth my personal tada list. Might not be for everyone though, I can understand that.

Someone else was making a good point that a daily tada list might be unnecessary pressure and a weekly one feels more balanced.

To add more color though, I personally would expect this to compound into an overall tada list similar to OP. At the end of the year I could amount to a lot of drawings and notice improvements over time. But again, AI has nothing to do with it.

If we give up on personal accomplishments because "AI can do it" we would go nowhere. But that's my 2c.

I think I see where you're coming from but, from personal experience, AI has not much to do with one's interest in learning how to paint or draw. I've picked up drawing again this year not only as a passion but it's something I can create with my own hands. It doesn't matter that AI can do it and can do it much better, it's that I can do it. For fun, for relaxing, for meditating, ...

I agree that it's a reasonable hope but not an expectation. I don't think it's fair to put that type of pressure on someone, and I don't want to assume that's necessarily what you meant.

I don't know if you read "Flowers for Algernon" but that's what I think about when discussing highly/exceptionally intelligent people.

I've found the "No bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra" pretty good. Could be worth checking it out. It's the one resource that has things click more for me.
