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.

At a going away party this weekend, I was talking to some government workers who mentioned they're mandated to use Copilot at work every day. Naturally curious I asked, "Oh what do you use it for?" They both sheepishly admitted that they don't. "We just don't see how it's useful for what we do." Later that night: birthday dinner at a German restaurant I'd been trying to get to for years. Some old theater colleagues: a props artisan, a lighting designer, they spend their days with hands-on physical work. AI didn't come up once. Meanwhile I was sitting at the table quietly asking Claude to translate the menu. It didn't just give me definitions — it told me the story behind one of the dishes. Monks during Lent, hiding meat inside pasta to get around fasting restrictions. Made for a very fun conversation topic but nobody noticed I had found out from Claude. It's very interesting being inside this bubble of thinking about how to make the most of AI all the time and finding that everybody else seems to just not care. A small win though, my brother got a Claude subscription this weekend. I've been sharing with him what I've been able to do with what I've learned here and it took him a bit to get over the hurdle of paying for a subscription (he's very frugal), but after a day auto-transcribing a jazz improvisation recording straight to sheet music, he's already organizing his context with folders and texting me about projects he wants to build. How is everyone else finding how people outside the community talk about AI?

Been sitting on this for a few weeks and figured it's time to show you. 👀 Over the last month, three companies have reached out asking the same thing. How do we hire people from Clief Notes. They've seen what folks here are building with ICM and they want that on their teams. Not LinkedIn AI experts. Not Coursera grads. People who can actually ship. So we're building it. 🛠️ talent.eduba.io Heads up, that's a demo. No real backend, no signups, no live data. Click around and you'll see what the full thing is going to be. A private platform where you list yourself with a real portfolio, companies browse, and they request an intro through us. We make the intro. You take it from there. Few things worth knowing. 🔍 Every profile gets reviewed by the Eduba team before it goes live. The quality bar is the whole point. 🔒 Companies don't see your last name, your employer, or your contact info until we make a formal intro. You can block your current employer too, plus five more companies if you want. Nobody you don't want seeing you sees you. You can list as actively looking, open to offers, or not looking. Passive welcome. Honestly most of the strongest people we've trained are employed and plan to stay that way until the right thing shows up. That's fine. Sit on the platform, see what comes through. 💰 When a placement happens you get a $500 to $1,000 bonus after 90 days in the role. On top of whatever you negotiate. We pay you for staying. This is why the community matters. Companies aren't asking us for resumes. They're asking us for the people who already get it. ICM, agent architecture, knowing when not to use AI. That's not on a LinkedIn profile. Go click around. Tell me what's missing, what's confusing, what you want to see when the real thing ships. We're already building it. 🚀

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?
