Feynman said if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it. i took that literally and started explaining concepts to claude like it's never heard of them. no jargon, no shortcuts. plain language only. what i didn't expect.. claude pushes back. and it pushes back exactly where the explanation gets fuzzy. that's not a coincidence. that's the gap. Been running this on jake's material. lesson lands, i explain it back, claude presses on the parts that don't hold. what i thought i understood and what i can actually defend out loud are two very different things. The AI isn't teaching you. it's exposing what you never actually learned. anyone else using AI as a sparring partner?

Hey guys, I’ve not personally tried Claude Design yet, but I’ve seen what it can do through other people’s presentations on YouTube. Quite interesting. It runs purely on code and that’s smart because code is cheap right now. It also works with your design system to create tailored experiences. This part is an opportunity for designers to actually sell their services. Creating a custom design system that businesses can use in Claude design will be a valuable service. Of course, Claude can create a design system for you but you’ll quickly realize that you are better off in the long run creating yours and there are businesses that prefer a human touch. I started my career in brand design so I did a lot of brand guidelines, design systems and other corporate identity / UX related work. So this is my forte and there’s a lot to exploit here as I can see. Have you used Claude Design? What are your thoughts? Feel free to share your work if applicable. Cheers!

Working with AI is like orchestrating your task with a group of Savants. Clief notes enables you to break the cycle by providing you with a repeatable, evergreen methodology to take control of your orchestra. When trying to wrap my head around Jake's concepts it's helpful for me to focus on the future. And what is that future? That future is being able to focus my energies on creating new synergies with others by handing off the daily monotonous tasks that we all have been accustomed to. It's a future where the Savants handle the repetitive — the endless data crunching, the routine research, the formatting, the follow-ups, the thousand small decisions that used to quietly eat away at our days. They never tire, they never lose the tempo, and they execute flawlessly every single time you hand them the score. You meanwhile, step back into the role of the conductor. No longer buried in the sheet music, frantically trying to play every instrument yourself. Instead, you direct with intention — pointing toward the rising crescendo of a fresh idea, the elegant bridge between teams, or that bold improvisation that only a human with vision and heart can truly bring. Clief Notes becomes your baton. Not merely a tool, but a disciplined practice that turns these brilliant yet literal-minded Savants into a reliable, harmonious orchestra that amplifies you rather than overwhelms you. The real liberation isn't that the tasks vanish entirely. It's that they finally stop owning you. You reclaim your attention, your creativity, and your capacity to dream bigger and connect more deeply with others. Work stops feeling like an endless solo performance under pressure and starts feeling like leading a masterful ensemble toward something far greater than any one player could achieve alone. That's the quiet revolution Jake is pointing toward: not replacing humans, but finally giving us the space to be fully, powerfully human again. Side note: Yesterday during the high tea with Jake he made a comment "In a world full of answers it's the questions that become valuable". Which got me thinking so what the heck these are my ramblings. What are your thoughts?

Does anyone use Lucid Charts in their folder systems? If so, what are the best practices that you are using to get the most out of it for Claude? I have a service based business where I am the Only-preneur, so I wear a lot of different hats. I've made a series of Lucid charts to help me visualize operations and identify pieces that fit in Jake's 60-30-10 process and orchestrate what can be and focus my limited time where I should. I just dropped a couple Lucid Charts in Claude, but in asking questions, it seems to struggle with some of the flows. Has anyone had any success with these types of charts in their folder system?

1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?
