So a lot of us are building stuff and competing in the weeklies. Many of us also want to be able to make a living off what we are doing. Some of us are, and some of us are like "How get point c, while still point a?" 😂 There is the obvious stuff like: 1) Putting your work on github 2) Posting here 3) The job board that Jake and Matt are working on. 4) Friends, colleagues I am not a marketing guy, nor am I good at selling myself. Its an alien concept in my brain. So going from where I am to finding customers is an not something that comes natural to me. What are some other good suggestions for getting our work in front of people who might go "Hey, that's something I could use" or "Hey, can you do this?" @David Vogel I already looked for this topic so 😛

I spent two years on ChatGPT thinking I was the smartest person in the room. I was not the smartest person in the room. A few weeks ago I fell down a rabbit hole - Interpretable Context Methodology. People building things I didn't have words for yet: doctrine documents, persistence layers. So naturally, I did what any sensible person does when they encounter something they don't understand. I started building it immediately. I had cement. No foundation. No walls. No idea what I was constructing or why. Just a bag of cement and a lot of confidence. Two to three days. Four to five hours a day. I built a system I couldn't explain to anyone, including myself. Same energy went into my first brand voice doc. Wrote it, handed it straight to Claude, thought the output was genuinely brilliant at 12 at night. Came back the next morning to start recording - Sounded nothing like me. Turns out you're supposed to test a brand document before you generate from it. Nobody tells you that. They assume you already know. I did not already know. Which is crazy to think about but we will side table this for now 👀 😂. Here's what two weeks of learning the hard way actually taught me: The tool isn't the problem. The thinking is the problem. And fixing the thinking - slowing down long enough to understand what you're building before you build it - changes everything about what comes out the other side. I'm just another business owner in South Africa. Not a crazy developer. Not super technical. I can occasionally English - and, well apparently, that's enough. There have been a few people in this community that have really changed the way I approach my day-to-day and I just want to again say thank you for helping me level up, and always being willing to lend a helping hand. @Bas Rosario @Curtis Hays

Something that I get asked often when building projects for clients is ‘my session always maxes the tokens before I am done. Makes me restart each session.’ First thing I do is smile because I get to teach something which always makes me happy. Second thing I do is set up a Progress.md file and make it required to be read at every session start. This file has made my projects so much smoother and has actually saved me tokens often. If you would like to know more, comment below and we can have a chat about it ✌️👊

Twenty-four days ago I posted about Jake's folder system video. This is what happened next. Same foundation — markdown files, orchestration prompts, clear roles. I just kept building. Fifteen named specialists. Each one with a soul file, guardrails, and a playbook. Duke orchestrates. Cash writes. Trace pulls the data. Hank runs the financials. Clint handles the MCP integrations. Behind each one is either a human counterpart doing the real work alongside them — or a role I can't afford to hire yet. Katie who's been with me for 18 years, now has her own orchestrator running the same system. Twenty-seven client folders. Twelve live MCP integrations. One shared repo. The folder system isn't replacing my agency. It becoming my agency. Jake gave me the unlock. This is how it's going.
