First, thank you to everyone. Three weeks ago this community had 1,600 people. Today we're at 11,700. That kind of growth only happens when people show up, engage, and tell others about what we're building here. So before I get into the details: thank you for being here. Thank you for the questions in the comments, the builds you're sharing, the conversations in Discord. This community is what it is because of who's in it. Now, the news. Premium is going from $7 to $27. VIP is going from $49 to $97. Free stays free and it always will! Ready to join? Head to Classrooms and click "The Vault" for Premium or "The Drawing Room" for VIP. It'll walk you through the rest. Why the price is going up: The content scales. The courses, the templates, the frameworks. All of that can reach 10,000 people as easily as 100. What doesn't scale is Jake. The live sessions, the critique queue, the bespoke builds. That's Jakes time, and there's only so much of it. The price increase reflects that. Grandfathering If you sign up for Premium or VIP before April 4th at 11:45 pm EST, you lock in the current price. $7 for Premium. $49 for VIP. That rate stays yours as long as you stay subscribed. This applies to new signups and upgrades. If you're already in a paid tier, you're already locked in. April 4th, new prices take effect for everyone who joins after. The free tier is still free and always will be!! And here's the thing: the paid tiers are what keep the free tier free. When Premium and VIP members invest in direct access, it means Jakes doesn't have to paywall the fundamentals. The Foundation can stay open. The courses can stay free. The community keeps growing without anyone getting locked out of the basics. Everything in The Foundation stays open. The courses, the community, the conversation. The free tier remains a full learning environment with more content than most paid communities offer. We'll also keep sending out community questionnaires like the one I sent last week. When Jake goes live to talk through the results, those recordings get posted for everyone. Expect these every month or two.

You just saw what happens between one line of Python and the hardware. Vote below, then tell us in the comments: what is one thing you assumed about how code works that this video shifted?

You learned the framework. Now try it on something you're actually working on. Vote below, then drop your prompt structure in the comments. Not the output. The structure. Show us how you set it up.

You built your first folder. Vote below, then drop a screenshot in the comments so we can see what you came up with.

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.
