Some Must Have Resorces

1 — Must Have Resources

These are the non-negotiables. If you’re serious, start here.

looking-for-design-inspiration— Stop producing low-quality output. My personal vault of design references from Pinterest, Awwwards, Behance, Dribbble, and the few places that still deliver real taste.
ai-acronym-overload-heres-the-ultimate-cheat-sheet-every-newbie-needs— LLM, CoT, RAG, LoRA, MoE, and the rest of the alphabet soup. One clean page so you stop pretending you know what everything means.
sharing-my-notes-on-jakes-method-icm— My Interpretable Context Methodology, stripped down to executable rules. Everything else I build sits on top of this foundation.
cloudflare-just-dropped-their-ai-engineering-stack— How Cloudflare achieved 93% internal AI adoption and handles hundreds of millions of requests per month. Their blueprint, now yours.
hey-clief-notes-crew-ai-hackers-stack-builders-and-workflow-wizards— The memory layer the big vendors will never give you. One shared brain across every AI you run. This is a game changer.

2 — Learning

Tools are temporary. Mindset compounds.

flip-the-script-its-all-about-the— Stop trading hours for dollars. Start selling outcomes. The pricing shift that actually lets you scale without burning out.
do-you-have-a-soul-why-ai-is-becoming-your-new-colleague— CLAUDE.md, SOUL.md, SKILL.md. When your AI starts editing its own personality and improving itself, things get interesting.
my-ai-workflow-evolution-from-one-shot-prompting-to-hermes-agent-with-cognee— My honest journey from one-shot prompting to proper knowledge graph infrastructure. No fluff, just the evolution.
to-win-is-to-acknowledge-conducting-ai-instead-of-fighting-it-alone— You’re not a prompt engineer. You’re a conductor. Time to start thinking like one.
obsidian-is-bloat-batter-up— Why your folder structure is probably already a better orchestration layer than most note-taking apps ever will be.

3 — Developer Centric

For the builders who actually ship.

200-api-credit-with-enterprise-grade-voice-text— $200 in free credits, enterprise-grade speech-to-text, and surprisingly clean Hyprland integration.
leaked-the-anthropic-teams-internal-prompting-framework— Leaked internal techniques: context briefs, visible reasoning, and the specific prompts that improved output quality.
hermes-stack-with-icm-vs-icm-obsidian-using-karpathys-llm-wiki— Hermes + Cognee versus Obsidian + Karpathy-style Wiki. Token efficiency, memory behavior, and when each actually wins.
introducing-the-hermes-stack— Self-hosted, private, self-improving stack: Hermes Agent + Cognee + Cloudflare Tunnel on DigitalOcean. My current daily driver.
real-world-case-study-jakes-method-on-steroids— Real project template I used: 6 stages, 2,677 lines of spec, automated setup questions. Jake’s Method turned up to eleven.

=============================

The AI space moves faster than most people can keep up with. One week you're debugging a prompt, the next you're ripping apart your entire workflow because some new methodology just made everything before it feel outdated.

I've been in the trenches — trial, error, more error, occasional wins, and plenty of "why did I build it this way" moments.

So I put together the real resources that actually matter right now. No hype. No filler. Just the stuff that’s survived real implementation, testing, and honest feedback.

This isn’t a random link dump. These are the resources I actually use — the ones that keep delivering when the next shiny toy tries to distract me.

Curated. Battle-tested. 2026 edition.

This is MY BLATANT ATTEMPT to be this week’s winner… but honestly? I think I’ve earned it. 😜

Bookmark it. Steal what works. Break what doesn’t. And if something here stops delivering, tell me — we’re all still figuring this out. FOLLOW FOR MORE ... Jake has not approved of this post!
