🙏 Thank you for taking the survey.
@Joseph Fioramonti's report is finished! 467 of you placed 4,683 dots on Coca-Cola images, and the results are sharper than anyone expected. You can read the full thing here: Semiotic Analysis Report — Coca-Cola Visual Craving Study 📊 What it found: People want to see the drink. The cold liquid, the condensation, the ice, a real person taking a sip. They reject almost everything else Coca-Cola spends money on. Mascots, illustrations, logo art, campaigns. All of it landed in the resistance pile. That gap between what brands invest in and what people actually respond to is the whole point of what Joe is building. 🌌 He just opened his own Skool!! and its free to join! If you want to learn how Constellations works, what it measures, and how he's using it with real clients, this is where it lives now: 👉 https://www.skool.com/constellations-2153/about Worth a look if you care about the gap between what people say they want and what actually moves them, he is also a brilliant mind when it comes to branding and abstract data. Worth the join. If anyone has Skools they are making that think fit with this community message @Aaron Quiroz about Collaborating with us here! Clief notes isn't just about me! Its about you all too!

Joined purely on principle. @Joseph Fioramonti
Each dot is 3.2 million people.
📊 You've probably seen this chart floating around LinkedIn and Twitter Each dot is 3.2 million people. ⬜ Grey is the 84% of humans who have never used AI 🟩 Green is the 16% who have used a free chatbot 🟨 Yellow is the 0.3% who pay for one 🟥 Red is the tiny sliver who use AI coding tools Most of the people sharing it have not actually said what it means. So here it is. 🔁 We live inside an algorithm. Mine shows me AI all day. Yours probably does too. Every reel, every post, every podcast clip, every ad. The feed makes it feel like the whole world has moved on without you and you are sprinting to keep up. Inside Clief Notes that feeling gets louder. You log in and see people building agents, shipping side projects, automating their inbox, talking about Claude Code and MCP servers like it is normal. In this room, it is. Step outside and almost nobody is doing any of it. 6.8 billion people have never opened a chatbot. Plenty of the ones who did opened it once, asked it something dumb, got a dumb answer, and decided the whole thing sucked. They are not coming back this year. Maybe not next year either. 🪖 When I was in the Marine Corps I never felt like I was doing anything special. I was surrounded by other Marines. Everyone around me could do what I could do. The standard was the standard. It was not until I left and stood next to people who had never served that I understood. The thing I thought was ordinary was rare. I just could not see it because I was inside it. That is what is happening to you in here. If you feel behind in this community, that is the right feeling to have. It means you are standing next to the people pushing the edge. Step outside this room and the thing you are calling behind is so far ahead of where most of the world is sitting that they cannot see you from where they are. And do not forget. The thing you built last week, the workflow you set up this morning, the conversation you just had with Claude. A version of you from two years ago would have paid good money to do any of it.
Each dot is 3.2 million people.

@Jake Van Clief so it begins June 1, 2026, when Microsoft becomes first mover on pricing changes. https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/github-copilot-is-moving-to-usage-based-billing/
New video Drop
This is a new style as well that I'm testing and I'm talking about systems thinking a little bit more in it and how I think that you can do more as a company now, especially if you're a consultancy. If you're thinking of starting your own or already have one, this video might be huge value for you! It's on my YouTube so if you can go like it there and leave a comment that would be amazing I'll probably create a text companion and make a few more videos and add this to a new series called systems thinking In the classroom! We shall see.

@Michael Steve sounds like that's how Stitch is supposed to use it and they believe this first draft will become the standard.
Claude isn't a tool. It's a hire you train.
Most people prompt Claude like they're pulling a lever on a vending machine. Input, output, next. Then they wonder why it stays flat. The shift is simple. Treat Claude like a new employee. A collaborator you invested in. Someone you teach how you work, what you care about, what breaks you. Every session becomes an upgrade. The next session feels like Claude shipped a new version. It didn't. You did. I'm chronically dyslexic. Walls of text are invisible to me. I'll scroll past four critical flags and only catch one. So I said it out loud. I told Claude: "I missed three of the four content moments you gave me. I can't read walls." That was the input. Here's what came out of it, written into memory, applied in every session since: Every response ends with a bold decision marker. DECISION, QUESTION, or NO DECISION NEEDED. Content moments go at the top in a dedicated block. Never buried. Max three lines per paragraph. Bullets aggressive. Bold keywords inside sentences so my eyes have skim anchors. Status and decisions never mixed. Skimmable first, decision clean. I didn't get a better model. I taught the model I had. The mechanism Claude has a memory system. User profile, feedback, project context, references. Every correction, every working pattern, every "do this, not that" can be saved to disk and reloaded next session. The weakness becomes the protocol. The friction becomes the fix. The next session opens with it already loaded. That's why it feels like an update. You gave feedback once. It holds forever. The reframe Stop prompting. Start defining how you work. Tell Claude what frustrates you. Tell it what a good response looks like. Tell it your constraints, your context, your weaknesses. Correct it when it misses. Confirm it when it lands. You're not using a tool. You're onboarding a collaborator. The people who get nothing out of Claude are the people who never told it anything. // A<3

Recent discussion with some friends put it this way: "You are now a highly technically competent PM and you've been assigned the world's most eager to please junior developer who regularly trips on acid."
