Yes and not a single one of them can quote someone from this decade because it's a shitty internet myth that won't die.

The tools aren't too bad, I've been building a few things with cursor and ChatGPT to see how far you can. It's basically like you're pair programming with a junior who knows how to do all the basics but needs a lot of help in review.
Your read that this is going to be a huge mess in the freelance space soon is very accurate, the better the tooling gets the worse it will be.

Is everyone you don't like a Russian spy?
Theyre differentiating goals from quests, where goals are daily minutia, get a haircut, something you'd suggest you need to do this week, where as quests are bigger loftier goals, what would you do in the next two years? Learn to fly a plane.
The quests are still goals they just want to categorise it apart from meaningless low value goals.

I don't know but I do know writing has ruined some, not all, of my ideas.
This also wasn't my main issue above. I was more concerned that the idea you can't have good ideas without writing them down was deeply flawed and a bit gatekeepery.
Yes, writing can be a productive focusing mechanism, it can also provide you with good reflections. But so can meditation, so can a good walk. It's a tool, not a requirement. It also has it's own downsides in that it forces you to think a certain constrained way, and while that is also one of its strength, it does limit your ability to think creatively.
Similar to how using ChatGPt to draft writing or code, there is a strong biasing effect pushing you towards something non novel.
Is such ego. There is almost certainly someone in the group or behind the group enabling this greatness to take place.
I don't agree with DSM decisions but I don't have to in order to see this basic nuance about their purpose.
