Yes, someone actually did this and I found it running on our server

        That’s nice, you can run weekend = dayOfWeek > 5 and then explain to the boss why clients are getting work texts on a sunday

            Yo nodejs is just plain amazing. We should just keep improving on js and replace all other languages. Js is already on all browsers, by adopting it on the server you get huge efficiency as you can move code AND coders between backend and frontend. Of course you must make the right choices of practices and frameworks for this to be possible

            I’ll be sure to tell my boss to throw away all the work he already paid for and start over in a different language. I’m sure he’ll be very understanding

                I don’t think you understand the concept of having a boss.

                Earlier this week I proved to him that his new “more secure” password policy results in passwords that can be cracked in under a minute, and he didn’t care

                  Sneak in a library that makes things more sane when nobody is looking…

                  Also, that isn’t “having a boss” it’s having a shit boss. As an engineering manager I am happy to go to bat and make excuses for time my reports spend paying down technical debt and making things more maintainable (within reason of course, and if shits really bad I can usually sneak a sustainability project into the timeline).

                  We’ll always need to make some compromises for our workplaces, the perfect job doesn’t exist, but what you described is a huge red flag. You deserve respect at work.

      Cron has clearly the superior numbering system, where sunday is both 0 and 7
