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

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!

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!
