I just had this same experience last week, and was certain it wasn’t working correctly as well. I’m a convert.

That is correct. If the day of month and day of week fields are both set they are joined using an OR operator - https://superuser.com/a/348372

Cronitor | Berkeley, CA | Remote | Full-time | https://cronitor.io

At Cronitor, we are building a set of tools to solve the automators dilemma -- the more tasks that you automate, the more time you spend making sure your automations are working correctly.

Our customers are in nearly every industry & team size -- from Fortune 500 (Cisco, Johnson & Johnson, AB-InBev) to rapidly growing startups (Chime, Carvana, Monday.com) to beloved brands and products (Babylist, Primary, Front) and many more.

Cronitor is a profitable, bootstrapped business, with a long roadmap built on constant conversations with our users. Our tools are critical to software developers responsible for billions of dollars of economic output.

We are hiring for the following roles:

* Sr. Product Engineer - https://cronitor.io/jobs/software-engineer-product

* Sr. Platform Engineer - https://cronitor.io/jobs/software-engineer-platform

* Developer Advocate - https://cronitor.io/jobs/developer-advocate

Two years ago my wife became a citizen, and my son and I got to go watch her take the oath of citizenship in the Paramount with around 1000 other people from almost 90 countries. I have never felt so proud to be American.

I've been working on e-commerce and consumer mobile products for the last 6 years. It's been a great experience, but I've always wanted to work full-time on a SaaS developer tool. More specifically, one that I want/need in my day-to-day job as a software developer.

Watching Cronitor grow the past few years, and seeing all the ways that people rely on it today, has been extremely rewarding. Working on it full-time means I can finally tackle some of the bigger projects that I've wanted to do, but haven't been able to due to time constraints. In other words, I get to make it even more useful now!

The joys of bringing up new machines while simultaneously posting on HN. ;)

Thanks for calling that out!

Ugh, thanks! Fixing now.

https://cronitor.io is built with Django.

It was a side project from March 2014 to March 2020, but as of last month it’s now my full-time job!

https://cronitor.io started as a weekend project. I had an acute need for the product which enforced getting a working version quickly. After using the result of that first weekend hackathon in production for a couple of weeks my co-founder and I decided to put in another couple weekend afternoons and evenings to make it a saas product. We've been working on it part-time ever since.

I wrote more about it in an Indie Hackers interview a few months ago - https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/cronitor

Cronitor co-founder here. This is a great question! I would love to see others post some numbers here.

As Shane mentioned in the post 12.5% has been a consistent number for us as we have scaled up over the past couple years. That said, at this point I suspect we will see this percentage decrease a bit going forward. I'm basing this on intuiting that we're a bit over provisioned at the moment and won't have to scale our infrastructure linearly with user growth over the next year or two. Of course, that remains to be seen...

To add some more numbers to the conversation my full time job is CTO at a consumer facing tech company (Babylist.com) I just looked at our spending on IT/infrastructure for the last couple of months and it's around 1.5-2% of revenue.

Thanks so much y'all! Sincerely appreciate the encouragement, and if there's ever anything we can do to help out/give back to such a wonderful community please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Thanks Jake! We'll definitely write some posts in the coming months about our architecture. We never intended to be running a high-availability service, and we have learned a lot of lessons along the way.

Thanks for the kind words! That just made my day!

I completely agree with this. My co-founder had a post[0] on HN yesterday in which he mentioned that our MVP made him cringe.

What he didn't mention is that that cringeworthy MVP was public for almost two months before we started showing it to people. It was out there with broken features, placeholder text, etc.

That made shippin easy. It was done on day 1 and then we were very motivated to make it actually do something useful since it was already public.

I have this exact same problem. It's been something that has bothered me for over a decade. I'm really excited to see if these work for me!

Yeah, I'd say your assumption is correct. However, other common ways that I've seen cron "fail" is for the cron entry to being installed in the wrong user's crontab, the permissions on a script changing such that it can't be executed, temporarily disabling or removing a cron job and forgetting to re-enable it, etc.

I built https://cronitor.io after having an important cron job fail silently for several days. When I mentioned this problem to a friend his first response was "we just had a major issue with cron failing silently at my work too".

We decided to hack on it together, and we've since grown Cronitor from a tool built for our own needs into a small business with a couple hundred paying customers.

I recently joined a company that's built on Rails. I previously was most comfortable with Python/Django. There's lots of code to crib from, and I've picked up the basics pretty quickly.

That said, I've been looking for Rails tutorials/resources that are geared toward someone with decent experience with other languages/frameworks. Would y'all recommend this book, or is this more of "learn to code with Ruby on Rails"? If not this, any other resources that fit the bill?
