Glad you made it in. Before you go anywhere else, work through the steps below. They will get you set up and ready to start. ✅ Introduce yourself in the comments. Tell us what you do and why you are here. ✅ Watch the Getting Started overview 📚Navigating The Course - Getting Started · Clief Notes ✅ Start with the Foundation course 0.1: Where All Of This Leads - The Foundation · Clief Notes ✅ Fill out your profile so people know who you are ✅ Join the next competition ⭐ Competitions Mega Thread - Getting Started · Clief Notes ⭐ On Competitions (and why I love them) We host a competition every two weeks. These are some of the most powerful places to learn and build here. Also Cash prices (often over $200) for the winners. Learning how to do something is one part of it. The real learning starts when you put it to work. That is what the competitions and the build sessions are for. On top of this they act as a portfolio a place to not just show us but show others (clients, bosses, your best friend) what you have been building and that you really CAN build. In order to win a competition you must be a paying member (It takes me hours to review submissions sometimes days. But if you win ONCE you can pay for a whole year of membership so I think that's only fair!) Watch the videos, then go make something.

🏆 HOW COMPETITIONS WORK FROM NOW ON 🏆
Quick update on the competition schedule so everyone knows what to expect. 📅 NEW CADENCE: TWICE A MONTH We're dropping comps on the 15th and the 30th of every month. Two chances to compete, every month, on a set schedule you can plan around. ✍️ WHY THIS SCHEDULE Spacing them out this way means we can give tailored feedback on every single submission. Not just the winners. Everyone who enters gets notes on what worked, where it's weak, and what to do next. 🎁 WHAT WINNERS GET Along with the prize, every winner gets a 15-minute one-on-one with Jake. Use it to talk through your build, ask questions, or bring whatever else is on your mind. Two comps a month. Feedback on every entry. Direct time with Jake for the winners. Mark your calendar for the 15th and let's get to work!

I've run into what I hope is a no brainer for someone. How do I make a transcript for a video in a website... the right way?

A contract, an audit, and a humbling test run: Plumbline hits v1.0
A while back I shared Plumbline -- a spec-driven workflow of AI-agent skills that build code in a trackable, accountable way, coordinating entirely through files instead of calling each other. The pitch was "trust, but verify": make the filesystem the contract, so you can actually inspect the contract. It just hit v1.0, and getting there taught me something I didn't see coming. Quick re-intro for anyone new, then what changed -- including the part where my own framework embarrassed me (on purpose). THE 30-SECOND REINTRO To build a house well you follow the plans, double-check the work, and keep everything plumb. Your spec is the plumbline. Plumbline splits a build into single-responsibility skills that never call each other -- they hand off through files: scaffold --> architect --> foreman --> builder --> inspector (once) (spec) (blueprint) (code) (proof) Each stage reads the last one's file and writes its own. The spec is one file and stays the source of truth end to end. The inspector runs with fresh eyes and proves the software against the spec -- "done" means shown, not asserted. THE NEW PROBLEM I WALKED INTO A skill is read COLD. A fresh agent -- or a different model entirely -- loads one skill with zero memory of the conversation it was written in. So every shared convention that lives only "in the author's head" is a silent failure waiting to happen. One skill writes a status line one way, another reads it slightly differently, nothing errors -- the run just quietly goes wrong. I had skills silently agreeing on dozens of little things -- how a spec tags a finished criterion, the exact words the inspector stamps, file-naming patterns -- and that agreement existed nowhere except in my head and a handful of separate files that were free to drift apart. THE FIX: A CONTRACT THE SKILLS GET CHECKED AGAINST So v1.0 adds a TERMS file -- a single, canonical definition of every token, status line, and convention the skills share. Every skill reads it first and stops if it can't. The shared ground is explicit instead of assumed.
