Hey guys. I have been here a while now, and I can not get my brain to understand it all. I am loosing out on a lot and I dont even know what to do to fix it. Its become so frustrating that I am losing sight on why I am even in here. What I want to make, I can not make the AI understand. I cant get Claude to get it, mostly probably because I am unable to wrap my head around it all properly. All I want to build is something that can help me get my passion visible posting on Youtube, making video edits from our content and all of this seems to either be built already but cost a fortune, or feels impossible to build because I cant get my head around it. Limiting thoughts, yes, this I know. But I am reading and testing myself to death here, and I am not omving forward, I am barely moving sideways...Should I just capitulate and have someone build it FOR me at high cost at this point?

It’s live. Starting today, everyone in Clief Notes has access to the new Clief Notes AI. The easiest way to use it? Don’t overthink it. Ask it the question you would normally ask me. “Where should I start?” “What should I focus on next?” “Where did you talk about [topic]?” It’ll use what’s already inside Clief Notes to help answer you and point you toward the right lesson or resource when there’s something worth going deeper on. The goal isn’t to give you another AI tool to play with. It’s to make everything already inside this community easier to actually use. If you want Access to it Comment "READY" and we'll send you access to it!

Hey y'all, not a sympathy post. This isn't me saying I'm taking time off for anything. In fact it's the opposite. My grandma passed away last week and I was cleaning out her apartment with my mother and talking to my aunt (both of them it was their mother). I can tell they're struggling. It's why I work so hard honestly on the software community on everything else. Almost none of the money goes to me. I give it to my family, my wife my friends. It's what makes me happy. I'm building a company specifically so my family doesn't have to struggle. Been helping out where I can but obviously been focusing a lot on the business. My uncle also has cancer and so my aunt has been taking care of him and also at the same time dealing with a death of her mother . Best way I can contribute has been through cash and some love here are there. With that though means I don't always have the time to do what I need to do. So honestly, I'm asking for your help if you're willing to donate to my aunt's GoFundMe on top of the help that I'm giving. I've just donated a bit and would love other people to help out. To me, if I work hard I can make sure that my whole family is taken care of. But in the small ways I can help where I can I will do my best too And that goes with asking for help from others. So if you all could help me out help them out. That would be amazing https://gofund.me/45b6655ba

You built your first folder. Vote below, then drop a screenshot in the comments so we can see what you came up with.

For those of you who've been following me on social media for a while, you've heard me say this over and over: building your own agent frameworks is a waste of time. Stop doing it. Stop paying people to do it. Stop learning how to do it. (Unless you like local projects, that's fun) Anthropic just published this today: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/managed-agents Here's what it is in plain terms. Managed Agents is a hosted service where Anthropic runs the entire agent infrastructure for you. The loop that calls Claude, the sandbox where code runs, the context management, crash recovery, security, scaling. All of it. You define what the agent should do (system prompt, tools, connections to your systems) and they handle the rest. The key line from their own engineering team: "Harnesses encode assumptions about what Claude can't do on its own. Those assumptions need to be frequently questioned because they go stale as models improve." They gave a specific example. They built a workaround into their harness because Sonnet 4.5 would quit tasks early when it sensed its context limit approaching. When they ran the same harness on Opus 4.5, the problem was gone. The fix became dead weight. One model release made their own engineering work obsolete. Now think about what that means for every startup and every freelancer building custom agent harnesses and selling them to clients. Every assumption they baked into their code is a bet against the next model release. And the frontier labs are shipping new models faster than anyone can maintain a harness. This is the thesis. Your value lives above whatever just got commoditized. The infrastructure layer of agents just got commoditized. The thinking about what to build, why to build it, and how to structure the work around it did not. That's what we teach here. That's why we focus on the 60/30/10 framework, on understanding which layer a problem belongs on, on prompt architecture and workflow design.
