Sounds like social coaching has all the attributes of an untapped business niche. The question is, if there is just a obvious pain, why there is such a shortage of solutions. I think it could be because of the stigma associated with this issue or because people affect by it lack genuine interest in solutions as people are usually happy to pay for all kinds of self-improvements.

The problem is that most of the potential customers are well aware that the field is full of hucksters and certifications are largely meaningless. I'm not about to pay for services I don't believe will pan out.
Doesn't scale is a huge issue. Lack of evidence that it works is another - and anything remotely evidence based is given by somebody like a psychologist and is very expensive.
Social coaching is just another venue through which scammers do their thing. Eg the Andrew Tate-esque "schools" making men even more dysfunctional in the name of teaching them to be "attractive".
It's very easy to talk about some sort of coaching for these issues, but imo it isn't really that straightforward. The people being suggested to take coaching are often very easily manipulated, and there's also the issue of everyone having a different standard for a healthy level of socialization, and everyone also loves to force their standard onto everyone. Result is that "social coaching" is going to be more like brainwashing/indoctrination in practice.
I think it needs to know every conversation that happened in the company to provide meaningful feedback that is above generic coding suggestions. But then it makes onboarding new people and getting them familiar with the project much easier. Businesses will have a lot of incentives to do that.
So they lie about estimates because they afraid to miss their chance to delivery buggy mess. But doesn't it do more harm to the reputation in the long term?
Trying Gleam that also runs on Erlang VM but has static types, a fast compiler with Rust-style elaborate error messages made me hopeful about how much nicer this experience can be when static types are added to Elixir too.
Exactly. It doesn't need extra buttons in the UI, it needs a giant context window to contain all the important info about your life or a business and the tools for gathering and maintaining that context. Then merely saying that you are seek becomes enough to autocomplete the rest of the actions including sending an email.
This is my thinking too, yet for some reason, 90% of job desciptions insist the candidate has N years of experience with M stack. As if someone who was building websites with Rails for 10 years is somehow not qualified for building the same websites with Symphony.
There should be a standard way for all browsers to tell sites whether they accept cookies or not. There is no reason every user should deal with this banner manually for all sites.
I have been using GPT for programming a lot and it made me realize how vague I am when I describe a problem.
I think my communications skills have been improving a bit as a result, or at least I am becoming more explicit about assumptions.
What I want to do is obvious to me in my head, and the English sentence I produce seems to match it, but it's only obvious if you already have the idea in your head! Otherwise, there's often many other valid interpretations for the same sentence.
Turns out the only unambiguous way to express a program is... in code!
(But asking for approximately the right thing and complaining until it fixes it is much faster :)
