Go comment and like the video on YouTube as well ! Lots of cool ideas in this one.

Can't see a high tea in the calendar for today but I went to my first one last week. I loved the idea of getting a deep dive from Jake and his material was excellent. I just personally found it very difficult, because Jake is extremely generous with his time and happy to help anyone during the session which is a lovely thing to do. I just struggled because the discussions veered into what was not relevant or interesting to me, Jake didn't finish his presentation two hours in and it was late so I missed the last part because I had to go to bed. I am used to a more structured approach like presentation first questions in Q & A and addressed at the end or in a separate community session, so I will probably just watch the recordings instead in future. Not a criticism I think it's cool that this community works like that rather than some culty limited access to a charismatic leader deal but I just prefer something more structured so I can see the bit I attended for in full

If anyone's curious if the methods I'm teaching here will last long enough. Just know that y combinator is now asking for solutions we built years ago. https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs

Last month I was speaking with a friend who works for an engineering firm in Australia about ai, and all the cool things we can do with it these days, and he mentioned that he was trying to push to get a monthly newsletter out to their team to inform them of upcoming professional development courses and workshops. Of course it takes a lot of time to manually search the relevant websites, and put together a newsletter, etc. so no one has done it. I asked a few more questions about the tools they use, and then went and built out a small, structured ICM folder system, with the exact same blueprint that we have been learning in here and using for the competition building. I then made a loom video showing how it worked, and then emailed it to him along with the fully company branded email that it output. It was near the end of financial year at the time, so they were a bit busy, and he said he'd get back to me. Today, 1 month later, he came back and accepted my quote of $600, which includes 2 rounds of revision. To get the draft up and tested, it took me probably about 4 hours, and then there will be another few hrs in finalising it (with the revisions). In reality I probably undersold myself, but this is a side project at the moment (I run a cafe, not an ai consulting business...yet!), and I was excited to have the opportunity at a real client to test against. Let me be clear, I'm not selling a fancy Ai loaded website or app or anything... It is literally 5 folders, with a top level claude.md file, instructing claude co-work (or claude ai or code - or any other Ai tool that can follow structured instructions with a renaming of the claude.md file) on exactly what to do. This is exactly what Jake has been teaching here, and it will stand the test of time. As Anthropic updates their interface, and Open Ai starts to take over claude or another better tool comes along, this ICM folder system will continue to do its thing. It may need some tweaks along the way, but it's not going to need it's whole codebase updated or anything, because it's all plain language, english instructions.

I have an app for U.S. users to help with sobriety. It is for U.S. users cause the Big Book 2nd edition is only public domain in the U.S.. It is a journaling app that connects your journal entries to passages in the Big Book. You can document and track many common traditions attached to sobriety. You can also find local meeting for support and get virtual tokens to mark milestones. There is a calendar so you can track meetings attended and traditions that you engage in. You can also share your milestones to social media or texts and even share passages you have been studying. If you are working on sobriety or know someone who is, try it and share it. I hope It can help whoever needs it. It is supposed to have a geo-block for places outside the U.S. I haven't tested it but I'm praying it works PnP — Progress Not Perfection https://www.soberpnp.com
