Everyone wants to build.

This year’s resolution is building. The blocker is “where do I start?”

This is edition #2 of Field Notes, an invite-only newsletter for support leaders building with AI.

Welcome back! New year, new things to learn.

My feed is full of people saying this is the year they finally build something. The energy to build is everywhere right now, and I love it. Tools are easier, feedback is faster, and you do not need a big project to make progress.

But intention doesn't become action without a place to start.

Good news: starting can be small. That's what this edition is about.

A great time to be a builder

I want to challenge you to build something this week. It doesn't have to be big or perfect. Just something fun or something that saves you 10 minutes of manual work.

In Lesson #2 of my Claude Code series, I show you exactly how.

I recorded myself building a real automation from scratch, connecting two platforms to manage Field Notes memberships. Three videos, zero polish. You'll watch me hit errors, get stuck and figure it out.
