As somebody who has made cron jobs my career for the last 11 years, who left a good gig as an engineering director to build a bootstrapped business — that means a lot. It keeps me chugging. Thanks so much.

I’m the developer of crontab.guru and Cronitor. We have a free tool called CronitorCLI that includes a cron-like shell. You can run and test your scripts in an environment that matches how they will be run by cron itself.

It’s true that root can disable user crontabs but the cron that’s shipped with all popular Linux distributions does have built-in support for them.
95.
by encoderer 2y ago
Yes this is correct. Something most developers don’t know is that you can set env vars directly in your crontab file.

I’m not saying you should never pay taxes, but are you seriously worried about little guys making under a million a year? Internet based companies are not using your roads or calling on your firefighters or getting protection from your poli

It doesn’t need every form of advertising, but you can’t start a business if you can’t reach prospective customers, and if you can’t start a business then you don’t have capitalism.

No. Poverty is the default state. Capitalism creates inequality but it also reduces poverty.

by encoderer 2y ago
Capitalism has saved billions of people from poverty. Advertising is part of that trade. I’m happy it exists.

It’s not America’s fault that Europe strangles their companies with red tape. The main thing is to just get started, start growing, and then you can figure all of this stuff out.

If you’re not making at least $1 million a year — don’t worry about this yet. I know that sounds glib but I firmly believe that the rise of “merchant of record” startups like Paddle with large outbound sales teams has scared the bejeezus ou

I can’t imagine feeling like I need to “reckon with my own imperfection”. Always keep climbing.

I haven’t seen anybody else mention this: Yes, because in a downturn managers get cut first and you never know when you will need to be an IC again.

As long as most millionaires are self-made, we are ok. My dad worked at a gas station and I run a tech company.

Yes we raised the stakes considerably. Russia thought the Ukraine operation would be over in weeks. Fast forward a few more years. Russia is encircling Kiev. Are we supposed to put American boots on the ground? Give them tactical nukes? Wou

I would argue that we did our bid for European stability, that everybody thought Ukraine would be quickly overrun. We don’t need to defend every inch of Ukrainian soil for us to consider it a success and a deterrent. We did far more here th

Feels like their only hope is to be quasi-nationalized as THE European ai play. Maybe I missed something though.

That’s good to hear and I have had good experiences when I worked at a large company with a giant bill and a dedicated TAM. But now I run a startup with about $150k in annual AWS spend and the Business Support tier has been extremely distre

Has the huge seed round thing ever worked?

by encoderer 2y ago
What makes this even more insulting is that their “premium support” is trash. You pay a percentage of your gross AWS bill and the support is useless in my experience.

The last time democrats wielded this much power they created the new deal. The last time republicans wielded this much power we became a global power. Both Roosevelts. Both hated by their opposition. History looks kindly on both. Trump is n

Possibly you’re a victim of the super polarized environment today but this is hard to believe. You’ve written dozens of comments attacking the current administration. How much ink did you spill over Biden 4 years ago?

Americans elected a republican majority in congress and the executive branch. RBG ensured they have a clear majority in the court. Democrats marginalized themselves by catering to their most fringe elements. As they say, elections have cons

All it tells me is that I agree with you and yes congress would ratify it, so doing this is pointless and only going to slow you down. Why would it make sense for them to do this? Democrats would still howl in disapproval no matter what the

I don’t have an uncle orange. You must have me confused with somebody else.

You are just wrong here. You misread my comment. The “them” in my 3rd paragraph refers to the paused payments . If it turns out that what congress appropriated funds for is actually fraud, congress will want to know, and can amend that spe

by encoderer 2y ago
Is it illegal? My understanding is that paused appropriations are tied to the fiscal year. That’s September 30th. Are you sure they are not? Or are you just being an ideologue? Nobody stormed anything. They just filed a dispute with their c

He’s not a “billionaire friend” in this role. He was asked by the president to do a job and he’s doing it. You expect the president to do everything by himself? Trump likes businessmen. Steve Mnuchin was another “billionaire friend” and it’
