High Tea is happening in 9 days
Pinned
Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce your in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

We're thinking about doing something big. Want your input!
Alright, I need to run something by you all. Jake and I have been talking about building something bigger. Not just more content. Something structured. Something with real accountability. Something for anyone who wants to actually build with AI, whether you joined this community yesterday or you've been here from the start. Here's what we're considering: The Lyceum — the original Lyceum was started in ancient Greece and known as the first school of Aristotle. Ours is a 12-week program with live instruction from Jake and other AI instructors from Eduba. Small cohorts. Real projects. You'd be building something from week one, not just watching tutorials. We're thinking three different tracks: - Technical — for developers, engineers, people building tools and systems - Business — for ops people, managers, founders, consultants who need to direct AI work without necessarily writing code - Creator — for content creators, marketers, educators, solo operators building their own production systems Same core methodology across all three. Different emphasis based on what you're actually trying to do. And here's where it gets interesting. We're thinking about making it a competition. A grand champion who gets a $100K build from Eduba. First, second, third place for each cohort. Demo day at the end where people present what they built. We'd also be issuing Eduba's first-ever certification. Something backed by the same methodology we've used to train Fortune 500 teams. This is still in the planning phase. We haven't finalized everything yet. But before we lock it in, I want to hear from you. Does this sound like something you'd actually want? Drop a comment. Tell me what excites you. Tell me what concerns you. Ask questions. If there's something you'd want to see included, let me know. More details coming soon! Eduba Case Studies: https://services.eduba.io/#cases

Who's here? Drop your intro.
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'm closing the community....
IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IF NO ONE SHOWED UP. But 7,000 of you did. In twelve days. I built Clief Notes because I got tired of watching good people get sold bad AI advice. You all showed up because you were tired of it too. And now we've got something worth protecting here. Every single one of you who posted a question, dropped a comment, shared your work, or just lurked and learned: thank you. You're the reason this thing has weight to it. Here's what's coming: The Foundation course is live and growing. The Vault and Drawing Room are filling up with people who want to go deeper. High Tea kicks off in 10 days. And we're just getting started on the build-out. This community runs on one rule: we build things. We learn the fundamentals, we understand what goes where, and we make stuff that works. If you're here for that, you're in the right place. Bring your friends. Bring your weird project ideas. Bring the thing you've been stuck on for three weeks. We'll figure it out. More announcements soon. Stay loud. — Jake
Training non-technical teams technical concepts
An update: my skills are being put to good use, as expected. In a Monday meeting, I'll try to train some field marketers on how to demo an MCP to customers. The tricky part is: there's a bit of technical upstream setup (node.js, apikey, MCP, Project instructions) before they can get up and running. And they're not technical experts. So I'm working on a guide for them using a video and reusable assets for the enablement team. I'll report back next week! 🤞
