Hi all. I'm John, from Georgetown, Ontario. I joined the Lyceum in late October on the recordings, so I'm working through it on my own and sitting the exam in December. I've been quiet in here, and I'm going to post what I learn as I go, starting with the reading. Jake's reading list sent me to Weinberg's The Psychology of Computer Programming. I didn't read it in the eighties, but I lived it in the eighties. Reading it now took me straight back there. I was at a company called Teela in Toronto, a division of Moore, programming on IBM 370 and Digital VAX 11/750 hardware in PL/1, Fortran and COBOL. Yes, I'm a dinosaur. Moore had moved into laser printing, and it was the disruptor of its day. A personalized direct mail letter for a bank or a financial services company used to cost 70 to 85 cents before postage: graphic artists, multiple pages, colour. We got that down to 3 to 6 cents. Here's how it fit together. Data came in from all kinds of client systems, in all kinds of formats. We ran it through our own programs on the IBM and the VAX. In a cold room off the print floor sat a separate PDP 11, where we converted clients' tapes coming in and wrote the output tapes going out. Those tapes went to our Xerox operators, who ran six or seven Xerox 9700-series mainframe laser printers: two pages a second, on plain cut sheets, both sides. Other clients' jobs came straight from disk. Many inputs, one process in the middle, one output somebody had to sign off on. If that sounds familiar, it's the same shape as everything we're building in the Lyceum. The machines were never the hard part. The people were. Something new called "desktop publishing" was arriving, and the graphics people were sure it would take their jobs. Salespeople were chasing commissions. The client's VP needed it right and on time. What fixed it wasn't code. It was lunch, and a couple of pints after work. That's where somebody says, "Can I talk to you about something?" and you finally hear the edge cases.

Hi All, Just thinking out loud as I am accessing the Lyceum recordings instead of attending the live event but not sure if skool is the next best thing since the recordings does not have Discord server access. One of the foundation knowledge Jake and his team is making sure an ICM user understands is knowing and qualifying what to build before touching any AI tool. Fair enough - not many build houses without at least planning the details. The process is, in my own words, 1. Know your target audience/user - what are you trying to build for this group, are you trying to solve a problem, help speed up their process (is this really bothering them) - book keeper entering spreadsheet numbers to an accounting system 2. What materials or inputs do you have to help solve for the user - status reports, where do these users normally start when they do the work - the spreadsheet of numbers 3. You have to convert the starting materials to a useful outcome - numbers entered into an accounting system 4. If I deliver 2 and 3, then accounting reports can be seen faster by decision makers and business owners. Is the chain of thought correct. Can the community who saw the Lyceum suggest other examples?

This is where I want you to slow down. There's a lot inside Clief Notes that's easy to consume once, think "that was useful," and then completely forget about. The Vault is designed to prevent that. You're going to work through the material step by step, but this time I want you paying close attention to the things worth keeping, revisiting, and actually using. You'll run into quizzes that test whether you really understood what was covered. You'll also have accountability posts where you'll need to put the ideas into your own words. Some of these might take you a few minutes. Others might make you sit there and think. That's a good thing. There's no prize for completing the roadmap in an hour. The win is finishing it and realizing you actually remember what you learned. 🔐 The Vault is now available for Premium and VIP members. If you're not Premium yet, you can unlock it here: skool.com/cliefnotes/plans That also gets you: - Live calls with me - Unlimited Clief Notes AI conversations - New roadmap quizzes and challenges - Access to the upcoming Decster features Already have access? The Vault is open. Go see what's inside.
