I will check out windmill. Though it does look somewhat complex. One tangentially related is I'm looking for somewhere to just run a python script once a day. I'll see if I can do that with windmill.

(disclaimer: Dev Advocate for Airplane) Seems like that would be a good fit for Airplane's Schedules: https://www.airplane.dev/schedules . It's pretty much as straightforward as deploying your Python script (and any dependencies with requirements.txt) and setting up your schedule for when you want it to run!

I will try this as well thank you!

The AI-generated imagery at https://deno.com/blog/cron/cover.png is actually painful the longer you look at it. The multiple watch hands might be an artistic effect, but the clock lacks the tenth hour and has two elevenths, the dinosaur's legs make absolutely no sense, and the water reflections show a different pattern on the dinosaur legs and a completely different set of clock hands than what is visible above. I kn…

It's hard to ignore when it takes up my entire screen and I have to scroll to see anything else. AI artwork is popping up everywhere and I don't think it looks as cool as people seem to think. It comes off incredibly tacky.

Perhaps bad AI art will go down as a tacky nostalgia, the "'under construction' gif" of their time

I am a lead on a small startup team and one of the biggest pain points is dealing with infrastructure. We have no dedicated devops person and much of that work falls on me and other people who would be better writing code. I think the cloud paradigm is experiencing a shift. Few of us want to deal with cloud infrastructure (whether clicking around or via Terraform or equivalent) to execute a function every X minutes -…

It is really disappointing to me when I hear takes like this. As an industry we are splitting the roles of programmers and engineers so that programmers can just throw spaghetti at the wall and it is the engineers problem to happily run it. We need more well rounded people that also fundamentally understand how their code is executing on the backend so performance and cost can be optimized.

Barnacle of the recent boom where cheap money meant every team and business were 2-3x as big as necessary, everyone got an assistant (even the assistants) and lattes all day

Some projects seems to be pulling “ops” functionality into a new monolith that is also the languages native environment (deno, vercel)

Still all Linux at the hardware layer and oodles of scripting language state, HTML/CSS. The web is a bloated mess after the “throw spaghetti at wall to try and gain market advantage, boost engagement” efforts of the last 10-12 years

MBAs ran software engineering as if machines were squirting soup into cans.

hey, andy from the deno team here. we're really excited to land this. happy to answer any questions or pass questions along to the team!

I've been looking for something like this! Is it possible to run rclone to send Google Drive documents to an S3 compatible endpoint? (~20GB of files)

while this looks useful it certainly shows what they are most concerned about which is making money off their cloud service. I don’t think they have much interest in being a Node alternative anymore.

> 1. Services like this cron with Dyno Deploy or Vercel where the cloud things are abstracted away for you. I agree with the sentiment, but to me it’s a shame this even qualifies as abstraction in the first place. Periodic execution of a function is extremely basic and already exists in almost every programming environment. If this needs to be a service (instead of a library call), there is something deeply wrong els…

I wonder why more people don't just set up a cheap VM and run this sort of thing via crontab.

crontab is just the schedule, there's a bunch of job handling missing. systemd timers get a bit closer and are worth learning for those that still touch actual Linux machines.

Straight up have engineers I work with on the regular who don't know how to use a Linux distro. The concept of a VPS or SSH'ing into something, not even a prod env, is seemingly terrifying to people.

I want to love Deno. It seems to really modernize TypeScript development. I just haven't had good experiences with it. I spent a day or two migrating a TypeScript project [-1] over to Deno from NodeJS. Here's what I had to do: * Change all of my local imports to something that would work with Deno. That meant appending `.ts` or `index.ts` for folders, except in some cases where Deno requires `.js` * Modify my monorep…

yep, this is why i would stay far away for now, it's not NEARLY production ready

sure you can build and deploy something simply. the pain is felt when you try and actually use it on a real production app on a bigger codebase in a team. exactly as you wrote. the non-obvious but complete productivity-killing rough edges

Right... also, the shadows on the mountains don't make sense if the sun is sitting behind the dinosaur (never mind that the sun is much too big, as you said, artistic effect). But as AI-generated images go, this is actually one of the better ones...

It's especially disappointing to see Deno doing this, because in the past they've used endearing art made by an artist, hashrock, which I liked very much.

Yeah, this guy (https://w.wallhaven.cc/full/x8/wallhaven-x8r18l.png) is much cuter...
