Writing this book was demanding, and while very rewarding, not particularly lucrative. Sales events like Black Friday really help! Please consider adding a rating, review, sharing, or buying a copy. Your support fuels new updates, editions, and future titles. Thanks! andyatkinson.com/pgrailsbook

TIL about `wait` option's `polynomially_longer` which applies a wait time algo involving some jitter and `Kernel.rand` resulting in wait intervals of 3, 18, 83, ... n seconds. In this example the jobs stops after 10 retries. Sweet!
