🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ ($4,750 Seat) Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. 📋 THE CHALLENGE This is a weird one, and you may feel lost at first. But it's up to you to make a map for those who come after and if there is no map, you must get lost to make one. Build a folder-based cartographer that can walk a body of work and leave a map a later reader can wander and show what that map is. The later reader is often an AI. Sometimes it is a new person. Same map. Same job. Not why it failed. Not how to fix it. Not a tour of how the week goes. What the nouns are. How they move. What else moves if you touch one. What is live, what is leftover, and what is a ghost with a name and no wiring. This week's deliverable is one cartographer folder someone can drop into a Claude project, point at a real body of work, and get back a map a cold reader can enter without reading the whole thing. 🎯 PICK YOUR TERRITORY Pick a body of work you have actually been inside. Something a new person or a cold model would get lost in. Something someone will change, not something you will only describe. A few sparks: 💻 A repo you own. Even a small one. The map is for the next developer, or the next session, that has never seen it. 📂 A client delivery folder a VA or a contractor has to inherit next month. 🧩 A Make, GHL, or n8n pack someone else will edit without you on the call. 📒 An Obsidian or Notion vault a collaborator has to add to without breaking the spine. 🧾 The live records behind how a job gets quoted, approved, and invoiced in your shop. The files. The objects. Not the story of a bad month. 🎓 A course or L&D library someone will update after you. 🏭 The asset and work-order objects in a plant system you actually touch. The more specific, the better. Maps how our business works is too broad. Maps the five objects a new hire has to understand before they touch the invoicing folder is right. 🧠 WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY LEARNING ICM has six forms. You have been living in the first ones. Pipeline. Coach. Editor. Diagnostician.

You all mean a lot to me. I truly enjoy this community. Everyone is so excited about using AI and building things that matter. I love how people show up here to help each other and celebrate the wins. Goodness knows, I have learned so much from each of you and I thank you. That said, some of what I am reading, both posts and responses, is mostly generated by AI (if not entirely) and it makes it harder for me to connect with them. I’ve used AI in my own responses too, so I’m not throwing stones. But I do try to make sure it still sounds like me. I’d love to see more of people’s real voice, even if it’s less polished. Yes, ChatGPT assisted me in creating this post - but it's MY voice. ;) You're all amazing!

Nope... Do people think I am... Yes (except for a discord group I am in, or literally anyone in this group🙄) Am I speaking at my first conference today about AI? ...Yes Is it in front of a lot of people... Hahahahahahahahahaha... Nope... Am I excited.... YES! Today I am teaching teachers about AI - not just another tool, building a system that lasts. #SuchFun

This community is large and it moves fast. That's the good part and it's also the problem: valuable posts get buried, the same questions get re-asked instead of found, and spammers show up wherever there's an audience. These guidelines are what keeps the room worth showing up to. Read them once. You won't need them again, because most of this is what you'd do anyway. New here? Start with Jake's welcome post and the Foundation course. This post is about how we behave, not where to begin. 1. Build in public. Post the thing while it's half working. A half-finished build is more useful to everyone else than the polished writeup you'll never get around to, and you'll get corrected before you've spent a week going the wrong way. 2. Teach what you learn. The day you figure something out is the day you're best at explaining it, because you still remember exactly what confused you. A month later you've forgotten the hard part and your explanation gets worse. If you cracked something this week, that's a post. Nobody has to earn the right to ask a question here, but this place only works because people come back and answer them once they can. 3. Ask good questions. Specific beats polite. "How should I structure this?" gets three vague answers. "I have a 40 file client folder, the model keeps loading the wrong context file, here's my CLAUDE.md" gets a real one. Say what you tried, what happened, and what you expected instead. A more in depth guide: https://dontasktoask.com The flip side of this: "Anyone here?", "Help please", and one line questions with no context may get removed. Not to be harsh, but because nobody can answer them. 4. Give credit. If you built on someone's skill, template, folder structure or comment, tag them. It costs you nothing and it's the reason people keep publishing their work here instead of keeping it. A lot of the best material in this community started as somebody's reply on somebody else's post.
