Ill be making a bigger write up here shortly on all this but lots of questions, answers and more questions. Play this in the car, on the way home from work or use it like another lesson!

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.

You just wrote a CLAUDE.md for one of your projects. Vote below, then drop yours in the comments. Bonus points if you ran the same task with and without it and can tell us the difference.

A friend of ours @Joseph Fioramonti built a tool called Constellations (If you have a watch or attended the first ever afternoon tea session. You'll know who I'm talking about). It measures something most people and most companies get wrong: the gap between what you think you respond to and what you actually respond to. Take it here 👇(also I am NOT getting paid for this and this is not some sponsored thing. Joe does really cool work) https://gen.constellations.app/constellations/survey/d269cab5-coca-cola/skool 📋 How it works: You'll see a grid of Coca-Cola images across two pages. Drag the green (+) dots to the images that make you want a Coke right now. Drag the red (-) dots to the ones that don't. Hit submit. That's it. 🧠 Why this matters: Every day we interact with systems that run on words. Search engines, AI tools, prompts, interfaces. The words we use are becoming instructions. They're becoming code. But here's the problem. If someone asks you "what kind of marketing works on you?" you'll give an answer. And that answer will be mostly wrong. Because desire and language live in different places. You feel a response to an image before you can explain it. You scroll past something or stop on something before your brain catches up with a reason. Constellations measures that gap. The space between what you say you want and what you actually respond to. This is the same problem companies spend millions trying to solve. It's the same problem you'll run into when you build anything that depends on understanding what people actually care about. And it's the kind of thinking that separates people who build things that work from people who build things that look right on paper. Take the survey. @Joseph Fioramonti will compile the results And provide a report shortly! He is an expert in branding and psychology and can come up with some really amazing reports.
