In plain English

This repository is a Chinese-language guide on how programmers can earn extra income outside of their regular jobs. The description and readme are almost entirely in Chinese, and the author explicitly notes that most of the content is not applicable to people outside China. The guide has been expanded into a small book called "One-Person Business Methodology 2.0," which is available under a Creative Commons license. The content covers topics around building small independent products and generating side income as a solo developer. The readme includes a mind map and cover image previewing the book's contents. An online course on making educational video content is also linked. There is no software code to speak of in this repository, it is purely a written guide and diagram resource.
