It's been too long since the last build in public update for Didact! Here's the latest in my journey to build a .NET job orchestrator. This update is about Schedules, DeferExecution, and Retries.

In total agreement! Background jobs and job orchestrators are where it's at! Not that I'm biased or anything... #dotnet #backgroundjobs #joborchestrator
Stop doing heavy work inside the request cycle.
Sending emails? Background job.
Processing files? Background job.
Sending notifications? Background job.
If your endpoint takes >200ms, ask what it's doing and whether it needs to happen right now.

Absolutely beautiful write up. This is why I LOVE databases and started my career w/ data analytics and data engineering. This is why I’m building a #dotnet job orchestrator @DidactPlatform .
Databases are among the most wicked pieces of software ever designed. Stop over engineering with MongoDb or other weird stuff and learn good ole fashioned SQL.

Thanks! Are you asking about @DidactPlatform? It’s the most difficult, utterly complex thing I have ever built in my life. Most job orchestrators are VC funded and made by huge teams, so it’s been a heck of an effort building Didact. First dreamed it up all the way back in 2019! Finally, finally my v1 is just around the corner! I am pumped to release it to dotnet users

Shipping a GOOD, USABLE v1 takes extreme effort. For those of you who have been silently watching, it will be worth the wait. 😄
Been stressing again with how insanely time-consuming and overwhelming it is just to get a v1 out for @DidactPlatform , just a v1! Background job orchestrators are SERIOUS. But this is the most difficult thing I have ever built, ever. And I have to remind myself sometimes that I don't have to work on some invisible time table. I'm in it for the long haul with Didact, so one breath at a time... #buildinpublic #dotnet

CRON jobs for the win. Every. Time. If you use C#/dotnet, lookout for @DidactPlatform in January! ❤️
Ok but that's just scheduled cron jobs that run code that use an LLM API?

It's been a while since my previous upload but I'm glad to be back! I'm closing in on the v1 launch date, and I've been putting a lot of great work into the Didact CLI! #buildinpublic #startup #dotnet #csharp #joborchestrator #dataengineering

I did an AMAZING livestream #3 for @DidactPlatform last week, and one of my viewers said my technical breakdown of Didact was BETTER than the AWS conference of tech talks he came from.
Needless to say, made my ENTIRE week. 10/10 for livestreaming a devtool. #buildinpublic #dotnet

Everyone always criticizes indie founders to execute marketing work. I'm locking in and coding like a maniac to get v1 of @DidactPlatform across the finish line for August 2025, so it felt great to knock out some marketing work before that. Also new @DidactPlatform livestream coming tomorrow! #buildinpublic
