Thefounderman1 · reddit · 2026-08-25
A Reddit thread asks: for anything you've automated, how do you know it's still working? The author's own weekly job has been "running" for months in the sense that he keeps doing it by hand. Others report automations silently stopped for weeks unnoticed, because a failed job and a job with nothing to do look identical from the outside. He invites stories of what triggered the realization and what changed afterwards.
