webhook.io is now defunct. They either shut it already down or will soon shut it down. I think webtask.io is somewhat similar. Also, iron.io lets you schedule functions using docker, has full API. AWS Lambda also lets you schedule Lambda an

I agree that the longevity quote is only half joking, but I didn't find it funny at all. I disagree that he's a sociopath (sociopath wouldn't disclose this information). I think he's a geek who got so caught up with what
