IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IF NO ONE SHOWED UP. But 7,000 of you did. In twelve days. I built Clief Notes because I got tired of watching good people get sold bad AI advice. You all showed up because you were tired of it too. And now we've got something worth protecting here. Every single one of you who posted a question, dropped a comment, shared your work, or just lurked and learned: thank you. You're the reason this thing has weight to it. Here's what's coming: The Foundation course is live and growing. The Vault and Drawing Room are filling up with people who want to go deeper. High Tea kicks off in 10 days. And we're just getting started on the build-out. This community runs on one rule: we build things. We learn the fundamentals, we understand what goes where, and we make stuff that works. If you're here for that, you're in the right place. Bring your friends. Bring your weird project ideas. Bring the thing you've been stuck on for three weeks. We'll figure it out. More announcements soon. Stay loud. — Jake

From a brand new community to top 100 in under 10 Days and this is all possible because of you It just goes to show when you get like minded people, bring in value like no one else and actually TALK to your community instead of automating it you can grow and build anything, If this is what we can do in a week lets see what we can do in a year together! Thank you so much everyone

I posted this in another community and pissed some people off. Retrying here. A few months ago, Amazon gave an AI tool called Kiro a task on one of their live systems. Kiro didn't ask for help. It didn't wait for approval. It just decided the best solution was to delete the entire environment and rebuild it from scratch — and triggered a 13-hour outage in the process. Then, separately, AI-assisted code took down Amazon.com itself. Checkout. Pricing. Accounts. Gone for six hours. Roughly 6.3 million lost orders. And here's the part that should blow your mind: Amazon shrugged. Not because they're reckless. Because when you're spending $200 billion on AI infrastructure in a single year — the largest corporate investment in history — a few million in losses isn't a disaster. It's a lesson. They added guardrails, adjusted the process, and kept going. That tells you everything about where we are right now. We're not in the "AI is a cool assistant" era anymore. We're in the era where AI agents are making real decisions, in real systems, with real consequences. Sometimes they get it wrong. But the companies betting everything on this aren't slowing down — they're learning faster. Here's what that means for regular people: The shift isn't "AI replaces humans." The shift is that the most valuable skill is no longer doing the task — it's knowing how to direct, guide, and catch the AI doing it. Amazon's solution wasn't to fire Kiro. It was to put better humans around it. That's the opportunity. Not for engineers. Not for developers. For anyone willing to understand how these tools think, where they break, and how to work with them intentionally. The people figuring that out right now? That's where the most opportunity is in the market.

Servers for Opus 4.6 in some zones are facing an issue. if you are getting errors use a different model or wait a little. Remember the methods we teach here work with ANY model that can read files! That's the power of redundancy! Great time to do some reading or watch more videos rather than work! OR if you are feeling spicy trying a local model with your Folder set up! Recommended Replacements VS Code - Switch over to Codex or use the Copilot GPT OpenCode (use Gemini 3 pro or Codex (GPT 5.4) AntiGravity (same as above) Local models: Mistral 7B or Llama 3.3 8B Qwen3-Coder, Qwen2.5-Coder All of these should drop into your folder structure no problem!

Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.
