I used this to automate my unemployment benefits, no joke. You have to keep reporting hours (every week I think), so I just set this up and run it, the closest thing I get to having a piece of software that makes money #sosad
- fit2rule 10y agoCongratulations. You've made Kafka proud! :)
- gk1 10y agoDid you set it up once and set it on a schedule, or did you have to run it each time? I'm curious if the tasks can be scheduled in advance, and how.
