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

Hello Everyone, My name is Aaron, I am just a guy who is trying to learn more about technology as a whole and for now AI as my particular preference. I have been building PCs for 25 plus years, I have no formal education in technology per say, all just pure passion and love for the game. I have done networking infrastructure for million dollar homes, I have built PCs for friends and family as well as for work, I worked for Apple for almost 5 yrs. I honestly just wanted to learn how to do all this because I love learning and dont want to rely on anyone to do it for me. I have 4 kids, 24yr son and 18, 15, 7 yr old Daughters. I have been married for 18 years to my best friend and couldnt be more happier. I live in Hawaii but I work the NY Open exchange hours. So I am currently up at 2am every day till about 7pm. Last but not least I served in the Marine Corps for 8 years from 2003-2011 in a Infantry Battalion. So now you know a little bit about me. Oh, I also run a few youtube channels and I help run a few streams as well. So I am sure some of you have seen me talk in many discussions here started, only because I am just so happy to learn and gain knowledge from all you wonderful individuals. Yes I know I respond a lot but I am genuinely curious about many things related to this groups discussions on AI. Beyond that I am here to give you some good news. I had a great call with @Jake Van Clief today for about 30 mins, he is a just as caring as he is here in chat as he is on the phone. We talked many things, as some of you know we both are Marines and that of course is our bond! He has so many cool things coming for all of you, I cant even begin to tell you how excited I am for all of you here. You will learn so much here and its going to be an amazing ride. He believes so much in bringing value to this group not just in words but by showing you how to do things that I think are being gate kept but people in this AI world. Moving forward we will have a Discord group for our premium and VIP members to be able to directly communicate with each other via voice calls and share their ideas. This will also be a place where those members can share their workflows and possibly get an evaluation from Jake or one of the other team members who has experience in that field. Jake will specifically do 2 a month he said, how awesome is that!?

We just hit 6k members in the community and its just amazing going from 70 not to long ago to 6000 members. Please go and watch The Foundation in classroom, as Jake and Matthew created a wonderful course for everyone to learn from and you can really apply all the information to your AI Journey. Have fun and let us know about your awesome Journey here. https://www.skool.com/quantum-quill-lyceum-1116/classroom/036893d9?md=5d535542a72d417e8635b80e56412558

MiniMax is usually open source but I'm not able to find any hints that m2.7 is open source yet, looks like it's made to compete with claude sonnet and has good reasoning and coding capabilities too. The most interesting part is that it's self improving, I'm going to look further into this but that definitely is something fun to look out for, they might just be copying autoresearch though ( autoresearch is a framework that automatically runs tests and trains AI overnight). Here's a pretty decent example I found, taking in the possibility of no extra help and simple prompts, it doesn't really look that vibe coded.

https://www.loom.com/share/a5437be6951c406586be39b5633c879c I spent most of today rebuilding how I organize my work, and I wanted to share it with you guys. The problem I was solving: I've been building production systems with Claude Code for over a year now. My process has always been the same -- use Claude Chat as the architect to brainstorm, build blueprints, figure out the technical approach, then hand those blueprints to Claude Code to execute. That part works great. But my project folders were getting messy. Context was scattered. Every new project started from scratch with no structure. And the stuff I learned on one build wasn't connected to the next one in any useful way. After going through Jake's material on workspace organization and the three-layer system, the light came on. What I built: A single folder structure on my desktop that does three things at once: 1. Obsidian reads it as a knowledge vault -- clients, pipeline, patterns, daily logs, reference materials. The stuff that compounds over time. 2. Claude Code reads it as a structured workspace -- each project has its own CLAUDE.md, its own planning folder with blueprints, its own source code directory. Claude Code knows exactly where to go and what the conventions are. 3. It's the onboarding manual for anyone I bring into the business. My daughter is ramping up to help with prospecting. She reads the client CONTEXT files and the pipeline folder. She doesn't need me to explain everything verbally. The flow: - I architect in Claude Chat (inside a Claude Project with all the client context loaded). The output is a requirements doc and a technical blueprint. - I duplicate my project template into the builds/ folder, rename it, fill in the CLAUDE.md, and drop the blueprint into planning/. - I open Claude Code in that project directory. It reads the CLAUDE.md, reads the blueprint, and starts building into src/. - As I code and add features, I come back to Claude Chat to architect new blueprints, and Claude Code updates CLAUDE.md along the way. It's a living document. - After delivery, I update the client folder, write a retrospective, and extract any reusable pattern back into my patterns library. Next project that needs a similar approach? The blueprint references the pattern instead of re-architecting from scratch.
