On: Ask HN: What was your most humbling learning moment?

[bombcar]

The number of "web cron" things in tools like Wordpress and friends is insane; I've been bit a number of times by this - if nobody hit the site for a day, none of the crons would fire.

Big website, no problem. Small internet site, big problem.

(Yes, for some cron + wget/curl was whipped out)
