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.

I've always known computers, i have always felt more than comfortable inside my files and folders. When i saw what Jake was teaching, it was too good to be true. It almost felt like a matrix moment. Why did i think all of this was so complicated? How can one video completely explain the entire AI hallucination bubble that I have been stuck in since my life changed to a vibe coding addict? Either way, holy f*^&* s^*(!!!! This is a big deal for me, i have been so unorganized my whole life, now with the codex and claude apps, i just structured them to mirror whats in my folders, made the necessary md files in each, and i have not stopped being productive since. I used to be so scatter brained, but with this system, and the new codex and claude desktop apps allowing you to organize folder structures on the left panel, this was a match made in heaven with Jakes system. No dashboard, don't want one, i have been more productive in the morning by simply opening my app and looking at my folders, every conversation thats ongoing with full understanding of the project and what is needed every step of the way. I set up a system where i use the code word "pickup" or "handoff" Anytime i say handoff at the end of the night, the MD files already know that it triggers a process of writing to the memory files, doing a verification pass to make sure it was written succesfully, and if i am in an active app building project, it will commit and push to the github branch automatically. I can fully close the chat window with no worries of losing any progress, then in the morning, from any other app i want, any terminal window, any IDE, i just go back to that folder with my AI and say "pickup" it will wake up, not only get up to speed itself, but give me a summary of where we were and what we should do next. This solved the problem i had my whole life of forgetting my progress and leaving things undone. I haven't participated much in this community because I can't find time, but im finally finding time because I have done more work in 2 weeks than i have done all year.
