Back when I was a college student earning ¥100,000 a month, one finished article meant my week was over. Today launchd stocks one every morning at 8:00, and the series that underpins ¥1.2M in monthly revenue hasn't gone dark once. The difference isn't talent or discipline — it's that I built, exactly one time, an environment that refills its own topic queue.
Why this setup works
When you try to mass-produce articles on your own, you almost always hit the same wall: when the topics run out, everything stops. You can block time on the calendar for topic brainstorming, but if you're not in the mood that day, you skip it. Any design where a human is the bottleneck will jam somewhere, guaranteed.
The strategy I took was to hand the work over to the environment. Not the work of writing articles — instead I assembled, one time only, a "detect that topics ran out and refill them" mechanism plus a "convert topics into articles" mechanism, then left them alone. The only action a human performs is the last one: checking the finished article and publishing it to note or Zenn.
The article-daily-stock.sh script introduced in this article is the core of that. There are three key points in the design.
