Solo founder maxes frontier AI quotas daily, closes 4 clients in 10 days
curious_vii · x · 2026-09-21
A solo founder shares a new daily routine built around measurable 30-day business goals with Bayesian-style daily updates: maxing out frontier model quotas (rotating OpenAI and Anthropic, e.g. Astra Ultra and 5.1 Fable Ultracode) entirely aimed at the goal via phone, then falling back to Moshi/Herdr/Grok/Hermes via Conduit/OpenRouter with US-domiciled ZDR settings until quotas reset. The rest of the day goes to IRL serendipity — walking or transiting somewhere new 4-5 days a week with a DJI streaming kit (Action 6, Neo 2, Mic Minis, Restream) for streams and X Spaces — plus aggressive delegation and 20-30k outdoor steps daily. Results: 4 new clients closed in 10 days and roughly 5 hours total spent in the home office over 3 weeks.
