I wanted to mark this one out loud. @Bas Rosario is the first member who isn't an admin to reach Level 7 in here. He earned every bit of it. If you've spent any time in the forums, you've run into Bas. He's the one greeting new people on the welcome board before anyone else gets there. He's the one leaving real feedback on your work, not a thumbs-up and a move on. And he teaches by meeting you exactly where you are. He's teaching his wife, a cosmetologist with no tech background, to think in systems. He explained ICM to her with a birthday cake. A cake is a system, he said. It has steps. You gather the ingredients, you preheat the oven, and you do them in order. That's what ICM does with the AI. It hands it one step at a time. That's the gift. He can take the thing some of us are still wrestling with and make it small enough to hold. And when you try to hand him the credit, he won't take it. On Saturday's call, the room joked that he's the new authority around here. He shot it down on the spot and pointed at the people he learned it from, naming them one by one. He builds things to route you to the right help, not to put himself at the center of it. He does this constantly. Not in bursts when he wants attention. Every day, in the background, for people who didn't ask and couldn't repay him. That's the whole thing. Level 7 isn't a reward for showing up. It's what showing up for other people looks like after you've done it for this long. And no, he's not a bot. I know the running joke. The steadiness almost makes the case for it, in a room full of people building AI. But that's the tell. Bas has said he shows up here every day on purpose, out of genuine gratitude for what this place has given him. A bot can post every day. It can't be grateful. Bas comes back because he is. That's the most human thing in here. Bas, thank you. This community is better because you're in it. If Bas reviewed your work or helped you when you were stuck, say so below. He should hear it.

We talk about folders all day, but the folders are FOR something. I want to know what... 🎖️Bonus points: comment with the single most painful manual process in your industry. The best comp entries come from exactly those answers.

A handful of folks from here have started connecting and sharing each other’s content on LinkedIn.

This one traces AI auditing instruments back to places most people don't expect. Vote below, then tell us in the comments: what surprised you most about where these tools came from?

I was today years old when I realized I did not have some of the most important files that you need in the folder structure that Jake teaches. During today's video call with the VIP group, he went on a deep-dive rabbit trail about the ICM folder methodology that he teaches in his foundations course (free). As he was discussing it, I went to check what my root folder looked like and I did not have a Claude.md or context.md file!!! My productivity skyrocketed ever since I implemented his folder strategy over a month ago, but little did I know that I hadn't even implemented it correctly. 🤯 🤯 🤯 This goes to show that massive action beats over planning every time!
