Wanted to say than you!

Hey Jake, and everyone here,

I want to say thank you, properly.

I found this community back in March, off a YouTube short while I was away on holiday. When I got home I started learning everything I could about Claude Code, and built my first workspaces from the basics I picked up here. Then I just kept going: teaching myself, building, using it every day.

It has genuinely changed how I work. I run AI and digital projects at a nonprofit (from strategy, governance and implementing AI projects), and the setup I built with Claude Code has reshaped that job day to day. I keep coming back here for the practical, hands-on resources while I go deeper on the AI side myself. The 7 mistakes post is a good example. The last few days, I ran my own setup against it. It turned out my always-on file was carrying far too much, I had a whole workspace I never actually used, and a few folders had quietly drifted out of date. I fixed all of it in one sitting. Leaner, and it just works better.

What keeps striking me is how much the fundamentals matter. I keep finding resources here I'd never seen before, and now when I watch other videos, Obsidian setups and all the rest, I recognise the same structure, and I notice the people I actually trust all work in a similar way.

I'm building my own web app at the moment, but honestly the biggest thing Claude Code has given me is a faster way to learn and sharpen my own skills. It's been incredible.

Grateful to be here. Till
