About this listen
Are your Apps Scripts failing right when the job gets interesting?
In this episode of The Breakdown Podcast, we tackle the most frustrating technical roadblock for developers: the Google Apps Script 6-minute execution limit. This hard boundary prevents simple scripts from ever becoming resilient, enterprise-grade software.
We introduce the Architect’s Continuation Pattern, a defensive programming strategy from the unreleased manifesto "Boring Problems, Big Money." This pattern transforms your fragile, single-run code into an autonomous, scalable asset that runs indefinitely.
In this episode you’ll discover
The Six-Minute Wall – Why this hard execution boundary is actually an opportunity to architect better systems.
The Continuation Pattern – A step-by-step method to break large, long-running tasks into small, scheduled pieces.
Trigger Chaining – How to use time-driven triggers to queue up the next stage of your process, guaranteeing reliable completion without user input.
Selling Reliability – How conquering this technical hurdle allows you to move out of the "freelancer trap" and charge premium prices for stability.
Stop watching your scripts fail. Listen now to learn how to build software that runs forever.
