Go slow to go fast OR just fast!
Howdy friends :) What path have you taken after starting here? 1. Thrown Jake's folder architecture into claude + your project needs to get something fast 2. Used Jake's folder architecture as a template, editing it line by line to plan, think, and produce what you need I'm starting to build a folder architecture with the aim of being able generate brand assets for my company to use across digital, social, and print. In doing so, I'm finding that I have to THINK! 😂 I also sense that this slow trudge is helping connect the dots from the classroom lectures. It feels slow, like hiking through a bog, but I believe it'll solidify some lessons. What do you all think about moving slow to go fast (with AI)?

It all depends on you learn.. I learn a piece, apply it, play a bit, see where it fits, once it clicks. I move on into the next part. Everything builds on top of each other for me.. yes, definitely I find that I need to practice more to see where "not to use AI" or different pieces are created for my specific environment or the way I work. It is fun journey. You may think that you're going slow but if you're actually moving and things are 'clicking' then you're moving faster than you think.
When To Share?
Debating whether to share a project for initial feedback, it's a math game called MathMines, currently on Lovable. Wondering: -How do you know when a version 1 project you're working on is ready/safe to be shared in a community like this one? -What are your security check boxes? -Are there any best practices or protocols one should follow when first launching a project? Still trying to figure out how i could implement Jake's folder system for Version 2, gonna jump into Claude code for that one.

I like what levelsio and Marc Lou on X are doing.. in short "ship more with less". Less features, paywall and publish. Market will tell us if our 20 features are worth it.. Max 5 features, paywall and publish.. maybe looking into them could help. For security, start simple, OWASP, depending on location - GDPR. Best practices and protocols - for everything I do, I follow KISS (Keep It Super Simple) and use AI to avoid "scope creep". You share project and suddenly 50 people give you 100 tips with another 200 ideas.. :D If people are not willing to pay for what we're building then "are we solving the right problem?", "are we solving anything?".

@Siv Darmalingum that's the plan eventually. Right now I'm learning here on how to use this different way.. but you're right. I'll set alarms on my phone to post 1 little thing everyday ( start small right?) Absolutely I need to be better with this, so it's like a habit. Thank you for that.
How do you like to brainstorm? (For writing)
Context: I want to pitch a few talks to conferences in my field (game audio), and its not something I do regularly so I don't have established workflow for it. I do write linkedin posts and prep for my DND sessions, but that output is significantly different than a 30m to 1hr talk. I've been doing one approach, which I'll outline below, but I'm wondering if others have done this and have a more efficient way of getting to a final result, the below took me 2 sessions both a few hours each, and I'd love to compress that. Wondering about other approaches or resources to help create a better framework. Current process (captured in a skill after finishing last submission): 1. Claude asks : "What could you talk about from memory right now, without looking anything up?" and "What do you know how to do, or think about, that most people in your field don't?" (this takes a long time) 2. feed it which conference, deadline, and format the talk submission is 3. Claude researches past accepted talks for fit and content 4. We lock in thesis, pillars, and target audience (this takes the longest) 5. we do a draft in this order: Description, takeaway, outline 6. Pre-submission review (this part is easy with humanizer and the conference form submission) Wondering if there are places I could improve? And how would others approach this?

@Roc Lee yes, exactly that. I run that as an experiment for myself. I don't know where this will take me but testing it on myself. I'm trying to make it simple, no complicated stuff. I am actually recording these sessions, which is just another experiment I'm doing for myself.

@Roc Lee Yes, so that is my experiment (again keeping it super simple) for this year, record these voice sessions, give it access to google drive folder (few files in there) and see where this takes me. I'm actually publishing raw audio conversations on substack from this self-experiment. No edits, no fixes, just raw stuff. I'm doing this more for myself as journaling. In the past, I did a lot of pen & paper journaling and this year, I'm trying something completely different.
The Folder System Became My Agency
Twenty-four days ago I posted about Jake's folder system video. This is what happened next. Same foundation — markdown files, orchestration prompts, clear roles. I just kept building. Fifteen named specialists. Each one with a soul file, guardrails, and a playbook. Duke orchestrates. Cash writes. Trace pulls the data. Hank runs the financials. Clint handles the MCP integrations. Behind each one is either a human counterpart doing the real work alongside them — or a role I can't afford to hire yet. Katie who's been with me for 18 years, now has her own orchestrator running the same system. Twenty-seven client folders. Twelve live MCP integrations. One shared repo. The folder system isn't replacing my agency. It becoming my agency. Jake gave me the unlock. This is how it's going.

Epic! Hopefully I will get to that point after all available training here.
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.

1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) - Learning AI so I can finish features for my project. 1. What brought you to Clief Notes - Video on IG where you said something like "If you're burning more than %20...." so yes, my mind thinks in systems so this speaks to me. 1. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI - Learn how to use what you're learning, so when I work on my projects, I don't burn more than %50 of usage/premium requests.
