Scope Creep Welcome
By Cristiano Pierry
Two usage resets expire a day apart, creating an unusual product brief: find something ambitious enough to exhaust a Pro allowance in 24 hours.
I just realized two of my OpenAI usage resets expire one day apart.
Naturally, my response is to find a project intense enough to use 100% of a Pro plan’s allowance in 24 hours.
An unusual product brief. The deadline is fixed, the budget is already paid, and scope creep is suddenly a requirement.
Maybe we build an app to finish all my unfinished side projects. That should generate enough new side projects to keep us busy.
Ideally, we end up with something useful. But I would also like to see “you’ve reached your limit” and feel a sense of professional accomplishment.
Send ideas. For this project, “while we’re at it” is an approved product strategy.
