Hey there, have you ever seen a month ago this short from Jake on youtube regarding how he built a Second Brain with Nodes & Edges? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aCtEdO4BGlY That makes sense to me but I am having hard time to really put my head around how to start building my own 2nd Brain. Anyone having such experience? how to really kick start ? create the company structures , then the gov.md files , then dump everything in a data lake and ask Claude to start building the brain? Much appreciate any comment.

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

EDIT: WE HAD OVER 100 PEOPLE SIGN UP IN TEN MINUTES....GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT ACCESS ON SLOWER BASIS NOW SO I DONT RUIN MY BANK ACCOUNT WITH TOKEN SPEND FOR YALL (im covering ai costs for everyone) but keep applying we are keeping track and will be letting more people in and reaching out about getting you all access one by one especially VIP. Our Platform is here, the thing a lot of you have been asking for and I have been teasing Take your ICM folders and second brains, put them in the cloud, and work on them together in real time. You upload your folders and files. One strong model with a good harness reads the map and becomes the agent you need. No new agents to build, no zip files to pass around. Each workspace runs in its own container. It renders your markdown, edits your files, installs packages, runs Python and Playwright, and multiple people can work in the same space at once. No Mac Mini needed to keep your data separate either. We're opening it to VIP and alpha testers first, and I'm covering the AI cost while we test so cant do a full role out yet. Free AI use which is great for those users, not great for my bank account haha. ✍️ Sign up for access: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdSnToxclxt8EgoB2GizrEvHP7gzOedVcRXdCkpi1SZwR8ZfA/viewform 🔗 Questions, or want to work heavier with this?

🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. 🎯 PICK YOUR DOMAIN The domain is yours. Pick something specific. Pick something you'd actually use. A few sparks to get you thinking: - 💻 Code review editor for a specific language and level (junior TypeScript, senior Python) - 📊 Pitch deck editor for pre-seed founders - 🎨 Grant application editor for arts nonprofits - 📄 Resume editor for career switchers into tech - 📰 Op-ed editor for policy publications - 🎙️ Podcast script editor for interview shows - ⚖️ Legal brief editor for civil litigation - 📋 Product spec editor for early-stage PMs - 🎓 Academic paper editor for one specific field The more specific, the better. "Writing editor" is too broad. "Op-ed editor for tech policy publications targeting a policy audience" is right. 🗂️ THE METHODOLOGY If this is your first comp, welcome. Here's what you need to know: This week (and every week) you're learning interpretable context methodology. Folders as architecture. Each file does one job well. Your editor is a folder with five things: - 📄 identity.md (who the editor is, what work they review) - 📐 rules.md (how they critique) - 💬 examples.md (what good critique looks like) - 📚 reference/ (style guides, checklists, frameworks the editor uses) - 📖 README.md (how to use it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the editor. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. 🔥 THE ANGLE THIS WEEK An editor is NOT a rewriter. An editor doesn't do the work for you. An editor surfaces what's weak and pushes you to fix it. That distinction is the whole assignment this week. When someone hands the editor a draft, the editor shouldn't produce a "fixed" version. The editor should point at the three lines that don't work, explain why, and hand it back to the writer to solve. ✍️ Generic feedback like "consider strengthening your intro" is a fail. Specific feedback like "your intro assumes the reader already knows what a Series A is, but this pub is read by generalists, so lead with the stakes instead of the jargon" is what a real editor does.

I know the crew is super busy but i was expecting to hear about week8 comp results before the next one starts. Did i miss something?
