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!

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.
