Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
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?

⚠️ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY ⚠️
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- 🛑 THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- 💰 HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- 🚨 IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. 🙏

🚨 You've been asking when the Lyceum opens. The waitlist is live. 🚨
The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. 👇 New here? Quick context. 👀 The Lyceum is Jake's live cohort program built on ICM, the methodology 35,000 people in this community are already using to get real results with AI. The short version: folders over agents. You learn the layer underneath the tools, the one that keeps working when the next model drops. Full breakdown is on the site. Here's what's inside: 🎯 Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. 🎥 Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. ♾️ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. 📜 An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: ✅ You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. ⏳ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. 💡 Pricing and start dates aren't public yet. The waitlist sees them first, gives feedback on timing, and gets in before the program opens. Everything you want to know is on the page. If you already know this is for you, get on it. 🔥 👉 https://lyceum.eduba.io
ICM 60/30/10 Rule
The 60/30/10 rule, and why the 10 is the part that matters least in the mix! When I first learned how to actually think about an AI build I was not thinking ratios, ICM change that. Sixty percent infrastructure. Thirty percent orchestration. Ten percent AI. And I’ll be honest, when I first heard it, I assumed the AI would be the big number. That’s the part everybody’s chasing, right? It’s the smallest one on the list. Once that clicked for me, it changed how I look at everything I build. Here’s how I understand each piece. The 60% is infrastructure: This is the foundation. Your folder structure, where your information lives, how it moves, the plain deterministic scaffolding that holds the whole thing up. None of it is glamorous. It’s the part people want to rush past because it feels like setup instead of real building. But this is the building. Get this part wrong and nothing you stack on top of it stays standing. Almost every time something I’ve built keeps falling over, I trace it back here. The 30% is orchestration: This is how it all moves. The workflow logic, the order of the steps, where the gates are, where your quality checks happen, how one step hands off to the next. The if this then that. This is where your actual thinking lives. The infrastructure gives you the shape. The orchestration is what makes the shape do something. The 10% is AI: This is the piece everybody obsesses over, and it’s the smallest slice of the whole thing. It’s the generation, the analysis, the part that runs at the very end once everything underneath it is already solid. When the ninety percent below it is sound, the AI looks brilliant. When it isn’t, there is no prompt on earth that saves you. So which matters more, the 60 or the 30 I went back and forth on this for a while, trying to decide whether the structure or the logic carried more weight. I finally realized that’s the wrong question. The 60 and the 30 are both the real work. They’re the deterministic part, the stuff you actually have to sit down and think through. The honest divide isn’t 60 against 30. It’s the 90 against the 10.
Regular mistakes while vibecoding.
Hi everyone. I’m a newbie to coding and vibe coding aswell. I just wondered if you could help me and potentially the other members of the group by telling us the biggest and most regular mistakes someone could do while vibe coding, especially when someone like me cannot check the code itself. Please tell me what you have found out and how have you overcome those issues. I would be especially interested in handling, errors and getting rid of hallucinations. Thank you very much in advance. ☺️
