Yeah sorry guilty as charged -- it's hard because I've met these people IRL and yes I don't want to damage those relationships.

They're super nice, smart and capable folks. But, also as a practitioner in this space the gulf I see between stated capabilities and actual output is super big and I just don't get it.

I'm also worried I'm missing something obvious, like it's me that's the problem and that's embarrassing.

So at least I'll share that anonymously. :/
