Indie dev's weekly plan: burn $200 AI quotas in 2 days for dev, 4 days for marketing
yihui_indie · x · 2026-09-17
An indie developer shares the weekly rhythm they want to try after China's National Day holiday:
- Spend 2 days burning through the $200 weekly quotas on ChatGPT and Claude to finish all development plus marketing assets
- Spend 4 days using YouMind to study marketing, create content, and distribute marketing materials
- Rest on Sunday
The core idea: split each week between intense AI-assisted output and human-driven learning and distribution, maximizing subscription quota usage.
