This summer in Belgium has been a very hot one, and we're bound to have a couple more very warm weeks during the rest of summer.
I'm not the best at dealing with this kind of heat, and with the temperature inside hitting 28° C, I've been trying to get my home to cool down on a budget: I open the windows when the temperature outside is cooler than inside, and close them when it warms up. I've also noticed the sun hits the living room starting at around 7 in the morning, which means I should close the curtains right around that time to stop the tile floor from heating up.
From the start, I knew it was likely that I would forget to close the windows in time. I would need someone - or something - to remind me. I saw a talk about Google Cloud by Bram Van Damme at JSConf.be a while back, so I decided this could be a fun little project to play around with GCP.

It's funny how from the outside, IT is often seen as an exact science. When starting as a developer, I often heard people say: "Oh, you're in IT, so you must be good at mathematics". I never understood why someone who is supposedly good at mathematics is the right person to fix a printer.
When you have some experience building applications, you know that IT is not an exact science. There are multiple valid solutions to a problem. Take five developers and ask them what the best way to set up a blog is. You'll likely get five different answers. Each suggestion will have its own set of tradeoffs.
