so the app at dayjob has an internal scheduler, one of the formats for which handles, like, "on the 12th at 8am" tests for it were failing intermittently, in daily CI job only i'm curious if there are any devs out there whose trauma runs deep enough they already know the story

Wait, that's an internal scheduler, of the program, that uses a format like that? Not the display format, but that's how the app tracks it for itself? Am I understanding this right or is my reading comprehension broke again

you are understanding it right, that is how the specification of when a job will be run by the scheduler is made

think of it as, like, somebody wanted cron, but readable didn't want to have to remember what a bunch of numbers in different positions meant

I almost dare not ask this but how is this stored by the app

hahaha ha the string specifying the schedule exists as source code in a file specifically loaded (interpreted, obvs) by the scheduler subsystem for definition of its schedule
