Creating a Cron Job
I don’t create cron jobs very often. I do it rarely enough that I have to go figure it out each time. Tonight I needed to create a cron job on my home server. Rather than look it up again, I told Claude to do it for me. Tasks like this are exactly the kind of thing that many devs will happily offload to AI.
Whether we actually create cron jobs by hand or not, we will still need them. I think it’s worth remembering how they work. Allowing AI to think for you feels like a win. One less thing you need to understand. But over time that attitude is going to destroy your skills.
