Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself 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?

🌶️ CINCO DE MAYO FIRESALE — STARTS NOW 🌶️
Locked in for the next 5 days only. Ends May 5th at 10:00 AM EST. No exceptions. 🎉 Premium: $27 → $14/mo 🎉 VIP: $97 → $67/mo The closest you'll get to our original launch pricing. We're doing this because the community has shown up for us, and we want to show up back. 🤝 🔥 Already a member? Read this carefully. To lock in the new rate, you need to: 1. Cancel your current plan 2. Resign under the new price That's the only way the system can apply the new rate. We have way too many members for manual refunds, so we can't refund anyone who just signed up at current pricing. But the savings stack month over month, so if you plan to stick around (and you should 😁), the math works out fast. 🚫 A few ground rules: Please do not DM myself or Jake about pricing, exceptions, or extensions. We love you, but we're a small team and we need to stay focused on building. Everyone gets the same window. Everyone gets the same deal. If you miss it, you miss it. We'll do more things for the community down the road. ⏰ The clock: 🟢 LIVE NOW 🔴 Locks May 5th, 10:00 AM EST - Premium gets you The Vault and Afternoon Tea calls. - VIP gets you The Drawing Room, High Tea, and bespoke folder builds from Jake himself. If you've been on the fence, this is the moment. 🚀 Tag a friend who needs to be in here. Let's make Cinco a movement. 🎊 🌶️🌶️🌶️
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.
Anyone else hit a wall after the ICM build?
Hey, ran into something and curious if others have felt this too. I used the ICM method to build a tool. Staged pipeline, each step fed the next, worked great for getting the thing built. But now I'm realizing ICM feels designed for building fresh. If I want to build the same app for a different user, running the pipeline again makes sense. But if I want to edit the existing app, the pipeline docs are useless. They're stale and the agent has no efficient way to navigate the actual codebase. You need a completely different approach for editing. Less staged pipeline, more routing the agent around the live code so it knows where everything is. Has anyone figured out how to handle this transition? From ICM build mode to edit/iteration mode? Do you build an ICM around the edit/iteration mode as well ?
The stack that works for me
There are two skills in Claude that I use over everything else that have been really successful for me. I love the folder system here and I use something similar just to keep things organized. As I'm sure most people have heard of Superpowers and I think it's good to a point. Superpowers is good at brainstorming and asking me the questions I didn't consider but it's bad on execution. That's where GSD or Get Shit Done comes in. It can take the plan from Superpowers, break it down into Phases and Waves and then you verify at every checkpoint to make sure a certain feature works. This effectively allows me to "one-shot" apps and make sure it works along the way. The part of the stack that I don't have nailed down yet (leaning into my cyber security background a bit) is security and just trying to make sure we cover stuff like prompt/code injection for example. Does anyone else have a similar stack or different process?
