Podcast appearances and mentions of ben nadel

InVision was once a prominent player in the design software space. But the company that was once valued at $2 billion announced it will be discontinuing its design-collaboration services by the end of this year. The cofounders, Clark Valberg and Ben Nadel, originally designed the software as a prototyping tool for designers but it quickly gained popularity and ultimately achieved unicorn status after raising $100 million in 2017. This was followed by another milestone when it raised $115 million, which effectively doubled its valuation. So, what happened? How did this unicorn unravel? ‘Fast Company' contributing writer Nicole Gull McElroy joined us to explain and discuss. Then we chatted with legendary English fashion designer Paul Smith who has been working in the industry for more than 50 years. Aside from the clothes, he's also heavily involved in designing the look of his stores around the world. His iconic store on L.A'.s Melrose Avenue has a bright pink wall that's been around since the early 2000s. But since the 2010s, that wall has become an Instagram hot spot with people lining up to take photos against the hot pink backdrop. Smith explained to us how the wall—which costs about $66,000 a year to maintain—has changed brand awareness, and spoke about his long career as designer-of-choice for such stars as Daniel Day-Lewis, David Bowie, and Jony Ive.

It's a very strange notation, so I'll probably never use it. But, since it surprised me, I figured there's other people out there who have never seen it.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4535-multi-var-assignments-in-a-single-line-in-coldfusion.htm 11/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Reflecting On Natural Language Operators In ColdFusionThe other day, on the Lucee Dev Forum, I suggested that ColdFusion might benefit from having starts with and ends with operators. These would fall under the "natural language" operators, in that they read like normal human language, not computer jargon. But, my suggestion is somewhat fraudulent considering the fact that I never use the natural language operators in ColdFusion. This conversation, however, gave me pause to reflect on this choice more deeply.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4534-reflecting-on-natural-language-operators-in-coldfusion.htm 11/28/23 - Tweet - Cameron Childress - This is a pretty solid writeup about refactoring a legacy stateful app into a stateless one.

I started learning about them 20-years ago for the purposes of data cleaning at Nylon Technology; and, since then, not a day goes by where I don't use them in some form. A lot of engineers view pattern matching as a dark art; and, there's no question that RegEx patterns can be very complicated. But, they don't have to be. Simple patterns can still add a lot value in your every day engineering life.

It's a vast concept but to sum it up in a single line, it is a set of concepts and techniques that make use of the “object” construct, to write more reusable, maintainable, and organized code. Objects are implemented differently in every language. In ColdFusion, we have ColdFusion Components (CFCs) that can be instantiated to create objects.Anyone who has ever studied OOP must know that there are four main concepts, which are: Abstraction Encapsulation Inheritance Polymorphism https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294629892/ICYMI - Hawaii CF User Group Meetup - Mark Takata on Graph QL & ColdFusionGraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data.

The value in question was being passed-through ColdFusion's native trim() function; which was clearly not removing this whitespace character. As such, it occurred to me that I didn't really know which characters are (and are not) handled by the trim() function. And so, I wanted to run a test.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4516-which-whitespace-characters-does-trim-remove-in-coldfusion.htm 9/13/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using FileReadLine() With Seekable Files In ColdFusion Last week, I started to explore seekable files in ColdFusion. A seekable file allows us to jump to an arbitrary offset within the file contents (which I believe can be done without having to read the entire file into memory). I've recently been dealing with consuming large text-files at work; and, I'm wondering if a seekable file might be something I can use to create a "resumable" consumption process. As such, I wanted to play around with using the fileReadLine() function in conjunction with seekable files in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4515-using-filereadline-with-seekable-files-in-coldfusion.htm 9/11/2023 - Tweet - Ben Nadel - Weird Application Datasource ErrorHas anyone had any luck getting per-application datasources (ie, `this.datasources`) to work in #ColdFusion 2023?

I'm going back to writing my data-gateways using Tags so that I can use the majestic CFQuery tag. I hate having to have all the other cruft; but, until ACF gets "Tag Islands"(Dig into replies for the rationale and a qb mention)https://twitter.com/BenNadel/status/16544396125493248015/6/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - On Starting A Side-Project: Hotwire vs. AngularFor the last few months, I've been digging into the Hotwire framework. I was initially drawn to Hotwire on its promise of allowing me to build a SPA (Single-Page Application)-like experience using an MPA (Multi-Page Application); and, to do so with less effort. After several months of creating demos and migrating this ColdFusion blog over to using Hotwire, I feel like I have a much better sense of how Turbo Drive, Turbo Streams, and Stimulus work. But, I'm not quite sure that I want to use Hotwire when I start my next side-project.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4458-on-starting-a-side-project-hotwire-vs-angular.htm5/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Importing Multiple ColdFusion Custom Tag Directories Using The Same PrefixOne of the nice things you can do with ColdFusion custom tags is import a given directory of custom tags into a "prefix". This allows custom tags to be aliased in the CFML markup; which is a technique that I use quite heavily in my Domain Specific Language (DSL) for generating Emails. One additional feature that I just learned about this prefixing functionality is that you can import multiple directories under the same prefix.As I try to decide if I'm going to start my next project in Hotwire or Angular, one idea that I'm playing with is creating a design system using ColdFusion custom tags. Essentially, I want to be able to take some of the UI (User Interface) encapsulation techniques that I learned in Angular and apply them to Hotwire.In Angular, I have my design system organized into different folders so that I don't end up with a hundred files in one place. Hoping to do the same thing with my ColdFusion design system, I wanted to see if I could aggregate different custom tags under the same prefix.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4460-importing-multiple-coldfusion-custom-tag-directories-using-the-same-prefix.htm5/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - ColdFusion Custom Tags Can Use Dashed AttributesThis morning, I was playing around with a ColdFusion custom tag that would encapsulate the rendering of a menu. Part of this encapsulation involved propagating attributes from the ColdFusion custom tag onto the underlying Select element. As such, I randomly tried to pass a data- attribute into the ColdFusion custom tag; and, it worked! I didn't know that this was possible with ColdFusion custom tags. Furthermore, it appears to work in both Lucee CFML and Adobe ColdFusion!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4459-coldfusion-custom-tags-can-use-dashed-attributes.htmBONUS:Ha…the Updates4Devs bot strikes again.Custom Tags -> Personalized TagsDashed-Attribute -> Rushed Characteristics

They are the closest thing the internet has to a giant cage match between nearly every language and framework out there. The benchmarks have a suite of tests, such as run 20 queries on a page and output some data, and every language and framework implements the same logic in their syntax and style. The tests literally take days to run in full and spin up each combination of language and framework in docker containers where they are hammered with oodles of traffic and then the juicy stats are recorded for sweet graphical comparisons.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/how-does-cfml-really-perform-compared-to-other-languages/9325 117 ACF and Lucee roundtable (Part 3 – future CFML) with Charlie Arehart, Gert Franz, Mark Drew and Ben NadelCharlie Arehart, Gert Franz, Mark Drew and Ben Nadel talk about “ACF and Lucee roundtable (Part 3 – future CFML)” in this episode of ColdFusion Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.“We're gonna be talking about Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee and how they compare and contrast and all cool new features coming in the next five years that we prognosticate future performance.

Eleventy allows you to set the output file using the permalink attribute in the front matter and generate a template dynamically using liquid script. I would like Jasper to function in much the same way, but using CFML to generate the page.https://kisdigital.com/post/generating-common-blog-files-with-jasperChanging ColdBox module behavior without changing the moduleAUGUST 1, 2022 / WIL DE BRUINI have to admit, this title seems a little weird. How can I change some behavior in a module without changing the code? And why do I want to change this behavior?Let me start with the why. I am using a lot of box modules, but sometimes there are some pieces missing, or am I not happy with some default behavior. Many modules are very adaptable, for example using configuration settings or some interceptors. But sometimes this is not enough.In a Free and Open Source Software world we just clone a repo, modify some code and send a pull request to the authors. But what if they don't want your changes? I could fork the project, and create my own module, but from this moment on I am the maintainer of my own module. And sometimes other modules are depending on the module I want to fork, which is often not what I want. But there are other ways to change a module, and they work best for smaller changes.https://shiftinsert.nl/changing-coldbox-module-behaviour-without-changing-the-module/How to get a visitor's real IP in CFMLAUGUST 1, 2022 / WIL DE BRUINSome of our clients love it when we log a lot of security related info in their applications. So on every authentication request we want to log the user's IP and if we are denying access to some parts of the application we want to log this as well. So can we detect the real IP of our users with high confidence? The short answer: you can't trace all the bad guys and people who want to stay anonymous, but for the majority of users you can get some more info.https://shiftinsert.nl/how-to-get-a-visitors-real-ip-in-cfml/Gavin also has a GetRealIP() ForgeBox modulehttps://www.forgebox.io/view/getrealipOr in cbSecurityIntegrating ColdBox with Existing Code Series -3 -First Module / Include our CodeJULY 27, 2022 / DAN CARDRecently I did a webinar on Refactoring Legacy Code and the question came up about whether or not it was possible to use Coldbox with existing code without converting everything to a Coldbox module or making changes to the existing codebase. In the first installation in this series, we took a tour of the various elements which make up ColdBox. In the second installation, we looked at creating layouts, views, and routes in the main site. In this installation, we're going to start incorporating our existing code base and do so using a module.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/integrating-coldbox-with-existing-code-series-3-first-module-include-our-codeUse arraySet to Initialize an Array of a Specific SizeJULY 27, 2022 / MATTHEW CLEMENTEI recently learned about the function arraySet. It's a niche function, to be sure, but I nevertheless found that it served a useful purpose when creating arrays. How is it useful? The short answer is that arraySet, when combined with a mapping function, can be used to initialize an array of a specific size with a range of values. This is really handy for generating data when testing, putting together a demo, or if you just need some placeholder data while scaffolding an application.https://blog.mattclemente.com/2022/07/27/til-cfml-arrayset/CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 116 ColdFusion positions from 62 companies across 55 locations in 5 Countries.0 new jobs listed this weekOther Job Links Ortus Solutions https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers  Tomorrow's Guides - Senior ColdFusion Developer - Remote (UK Based) https://www.tomorrows.co.uk/jobs.cfm  There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the WeekRoute VisualizerThe ColdBox Route visualizer will map out all your routing tables for any ColdBox 4+ application.

This is happening over the weekend.Once we feel comfortable, users who have signed up for this beta (form link below) will slowly begin getting invites for a pre-release forum dedicated to the full closed beta program. This is likely to occur early to mid next week.We need people who are fired up, willing to put in time testing and provide us with solid, informative feedback. The full, open launch of the product is coming shortly after Dev Week but this is your opportunity to get a chance to see it early, test it and help us make it as awesome as possible.Please note: There may be bugs. This should not be used in production during the time of the beta testing. I shouldn't have to tell you that lol. But here we are. I use this tool already in my day to day. But your workflow might be different. We will be adding people slowly, so if you don't get an email early next week, just give it a moment.

You can see a list of several bullet points about it in the release notes.TLDR: If it's enough for you to know that FR is now updated and those bullets may suffice, you now have what you need to know. :-) In this post, I want to expand on those to give more context. I have no inside info or advanced knowledge of the release: this comes from my own assessment of things as I just applied the update this morning. As such, I could be wrong on some points, or may need to come back to clarify something. But in the meantime, I hope this overview may help folks, as sometimes the single bullets in the release notes can leave you wondering. :-)https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2022/7/12/whats_new_FusionReactor_8_8_0/ 7/11/22 - Tweet - James Moberg - New Monitoring ToolA #ColdFusion Taffy API was timing out due to 3rdparty MSSQL table locks.

As a fast-follow, I wanted to break the demo up into a multi-step form workflow in which each step manages only a portion of the complex object.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4296-building-up-a-complex-objects-using-a-multi-step-form-workflow-in-coldfusion.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 106 ColdFusion positions from 58 companies across 49 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer at Birmingham - United Kingdom Jul 12https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-at-Birmingham/11493 Full-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer at London - United Kingdom Jul 12https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-at-London/11492 Full-Time - Frontend Software Developer-ColdFusion/Angular at Memphis, T.. - United States Jul 05https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Frontend-Software-DeveloperColdFusionAngular-at-Memphis-TN/11491 Other Job Links Ortus Solutions - https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers  John Hopkins University with Brian Klass - https://jobs.jhu.edu/job/Baltimore-Sr_-Programmer-Analyst-MD-21205/905668200/ More Information: https://twitter.com/brian_klaas/status/1544653220244590592  Clear Capital - Carol from Working Code Podcast - https://bit.ly/3Ocu5Zz  Nolan Erck - South of Shasta - Part-time CFML developer wantedSouth of Shasta is looking for a part-time mid to senior level developer that can assist with some projects for our clients over the next few months, possibly longer.https://southofshasta.com/blog/part-time-cfml-developer-wanted/  There is a jobs channel in the cfml slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the Weekcommandbox-jasperA static site generator implemented in CommandboxLast year I wrote a static site generator called Jasper.

Luis Majano and Eric Peterson talk about their upcoming workshop at Into the Box, he talks about who the ideal audience is, and why they should attend. He talks about what will the workshop cover, the requirements for the workshop, and what he hopes the attendees will leave the workshop with. In this workshop, attendees will explore the concepts of asynchronous and parallel programming with the ColdBox Async Manager and Java's Completable Futures APIs. They will explore the concept of async computations, async pipelines, exception handling, scheduling and so much more. Pain medication is included!http://www.intothebox.org/blog/itb-2022-podcast-series-workshop-async-programming-scheduling-with-luis-majano-eric-peterson 6/23/22 - Blog - Robert Zehnder - How I use CommandBox with my blogOver the course of the last year my blog has been through many revamps and rewrites. I wrote a CF static site generator called Jasper that manages content by dropping markdown files into the /posts folder, dynamically generating a static site that can be deployed anywhere. The current iteration of the blog is running Jasper as a server; Instead of reading markdown files, posts are returned from a database.The system works well, but the one downside to using a database how to manage the posts. I did not want to write an admin interface, I would prefer to manage it like it is a static site generator. The posts will be saved in the database, but I can retrieve a post and save it as a markdown file for editing and posted back to the server when done. As a matter of fact, I am editing this post in vscode.I thought about how I would implement something like that. As it turns out, it was much easier than I expected.https://kisdigital.com/post/how-i-use-commandbox-with-my-blog6/25/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Namespacing Components With Per-Application Mappings In ColdFusionIn my ColdFusion applications, I use a lot of components. But, these components are, for the most part, application-specific and live seamlessly alongside my application's custom mappings. Recently, however, I've been thinking about writing a "module" (ie, a set of related components) that I might want to use in multiple applications. And, it wasn't immediately obvious to me how I might define my ColdFusion per-application mappings in order to avoid conflicts with an application's existing component tree. As such, I wanted to experiment with using per-application mappings to create "namespaces" for shared ColdFusion components.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4291-namespacing-components-with-per-application-mappings-in-coldfusion.htm 6/23/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Updating My Mental Model For Shared Array / Struct Iteration In ColdFusionIn the very early days of ColdFusion, it was considered a "Best Practice" to synchronize access to all shared data structures. Meaning, to single-thread the access in order to avoid race conditions. Over time, this practice became much more nuanced; and, more of the native data types within ColdFusion became synchronized by default. Meaning, they were being made thread-safe internally. I believe that my mental model for iteration over shared data structures is outdated. As such, I wanted to run some parallel iterations in Adobe ColdFusion 2021 and Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4289-updating-my-mental-model-for-shared-array-struct-iteration-in-coldfusion.htm 6/24/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Looking At The Performance Overhead Of A Read-Only Lock In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201In yesterday's post, I demonstrated that iterating over shared Structs and Arrays is thread-safe in ColdFusion; assuming, of course, that the access is read-only. But, what if I need to occasionally mutate the shared data? In that case, I'd have to acquire an exclusive lock some of the time; which, in turn, means that I'd have to acquire a read-only lock most of the time. This got me thinking about the performance overhead of a read-only lock in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.The performance overhead of an exclusive lock is easier to understand because it essentially single-threads access to a given block of code. So, if nothing else, there's a limit to the throughput on an exclusive lock. But, with a read-only lock, throughput isn't an issue (unless there's a competing exclusive lock) - multiple threads can access the same read-only lock at the same time.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4290-looking-at-the-performance-overhead-of-a-read-only-lock-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm 6/24/22 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Understanding the "cost" of cflock, part 1In a post today on his blog, Ben Nadel did an experiment "Looking At The Performance Overhead Of A Read-Only Lock". (He happened to do it in Lucee, but the concept applies equally to CF.)And I wanted to offer some additional thoughts--first planning to offer them as a comment--because there's a lot behind the question and his observations. But as it got longer, I realized it was too long for a comment. Also, I didn't want people to think (in reading a comment on Ben's blog) that I was challenging Ben or questioning his understanding of the matter! Not at all. :-) Instead, I was just wanting to add more context, to help other readers, and based on my years of observing the community.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2022/6/24/understanding_cflock_cost_part_1 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 100 ColdFusion positions from 55 companies across 47 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United KingdomJun 27https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11487 Full-Time - SE-ColdFusion at Bengaluru, Karnataka - India Jun 27https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/SEColdFusion-at-Bengaluru-Karnataka/11486Full-Time - Senior ColdFusion Developer - GeoNorth Information Systems a.. - United StatesJun 25https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-ColdFusion-Developer-GeoNorth-Information-Systems-at-Alaska/11485 PATREON SPONSORED JOB POSTING!Hagerty - MotorSportRegSenior Software Engineer, MotorsportWe are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to work primarily with Node/Vue.js, ColdFusion, and AWS to improve our platform and build greenfield experiences.We are a 25-person team supporting 1,600 organizations with our SaaS CRM, commerce and event management platform.

From their discussion, I learned that there is an experimental value called, stale-while-revalidate. And, while this post isn't about HTTP caching, their discussion got me thinking about different ways in which I might manage a server-side cache of data that needs to be kept in-sync with a remote data source. I wanted to do some noodling of what a "stale while revalidate" workflow might look like in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4287-considering-a-stale-while-revalidate-pattern-to-caching-in-coldfusion.htm 6/20/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels HTMX Plugin publishedA few weeks ago I published a Todo app using CFWheels on the backend and HTMX to provide the interactivity on the front end to make the app look and feel like a full blown SPA app. As I was developing that app I ran into a few things that I wish we had to make development with HTMX a little easier. But I'm getting ahead of myself.https://cfwheels.org/blog/cfwheels-htmx-plugin-published/ 6/20/22 - Blog - Brad Wood - In response to Ben Nadel - Output ANSI formatting in your server logBen Nadel recently asked me on Twitter if he could put colored text in his server's console log… and the response didn't fit in twitters little box.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/output-ansi-formatting-in-your-server-log/9291 6/20/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - Wheels CLI matures to Version 1.0It's hard to believe it took so long to get here but modern CFML development has come a long way thanks to tools like CommandBox and ForgeBox. The Wheels CLI is built as a CommandBox module and wouldn't have even been possible without the support of the fine folks at Ortus Solutions.The first commit to the repo for this project was committed back in July of 2016. It's taken a while, that's an understatement, to get here but Wheels itself jumped to 2.0, CommandBox matured, and we were able to put the plumbing in place to support the communication between the CLI and the running server. With nearly 300 commits in the repo, 25 commands in the CLI, and over 20 pages of documentation, it's now time to take the alpha/beta label off send this baby out into the world.Note: Wheels CLI is a CommandBox module that you can use to work with the framework (generate scaffolding, tests, etc)https://cfwheels.org/blog/wheels-cli-matures-to-version-1-0/ 6/20/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Playing With Java Pattern's Named Capture Groups In ColdFusionIn yesterday's post on the new jreExtract() method in JRegEx.cfc, I was aliasing the Regular Expression (RegEx) capture groups with human-friendly labels as part of my demo-output. This reminded me that the Java Pattern class added named capture groups in Java 7 (circa 2010); and, I've yet to ever try them out. As such, I thought it was high-time to give named capture groups a try in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4286-playing-with-java-patterns-named-capture-groups-in-coldfusion.htm 6/20/22 - Blog - Ortus Solutions - Into the Box - Updates as of June 20th, 2022Into the Box Super Early Bird ticket pricing is over, but you can still get the Early Bird.

I use them probably every day in some capacity. And, I've loved having my JRegEx.cfc project to simplify many pattern-based interactions. Today, I'm adding one more tool to that toolbox: jreExtract(). The jreExtract() method matches a Java Regular Expression against an input String and returns a Struct of the captured groups. Sometimes, I want to use a single pattern-match to pluck-out parts of a string in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4285-adding-jreextract-to-pluck-captured-groups-using-regular-expressions-in-coldfusion.htm 6/17/22 - Blog -  Ortus Solutions - Ortus Content Digest for week of June 17thWhat has Ortus been publishing this week?

I hope you can help me. I have an application where a user logs into a portal. Session variables are set to time out in 30 mins. But, is it possible to extend the session if the user keeps using the page. For the application, even if the user is moving the page up and down and making some interaction with the page, the session still expires. Thank you so much in advance.!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4283-ask-ben-extending-a-coldfusion-session-on-a-long-lived-page.htm 6/17/22 - Blog / Podcast - Into the Box - ITB 2022 Podcast Series - Workshop - VueJs SPA and Mobile App with Rest APIs with Gavin PickinThis podcast is a special podcast for attendees or undecided attendees, to get a view of what the workshop has to offer, from the Trainers themselves, Gavin Pickin and Daniel Garcia. This workshop will walk us through creating a Quiz Game app with a ColdBox REST API backend and a VueJS Application, written in the Quasar Framework. We will start with the concept, design our database, plan our API, write some tests, build our API, create our Quasar Framework App, and write some VueJS to hit those API Endpoints. This Quiz game will have a real-world use case, as it brings back to life an old ColdFusion / ColdBox concept, delivered in a fresh new way.http://www.intothebox.org/blog/itb-2022-podcast-series-workshop-vuejs-spa-and-mobile-app-with-rest-apis-with-gavin-pickin 6/16/22 - Podcast - CFAlive - ACF and Lucee roundtable (Part 2) with Charlie Arehart, Gert Franz, Mark Drew and Ben NadelCharlie Arehart, Gert Franz, Mark Drew and Ben Nadel talk about “ACF and Lucee roundtable (Part 2)” in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.Part 2 on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukc0Yq4zcFs ShowNotes: https://teratech.com/podcast/acf-and-lucee-roundtable-part-2-with-charlie-arehart-gert-franz-mark-drew-and-ben-nadel/Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XISg5Zq0xA 6/16/22 - Blog - Nolan Erck - South of Shasta - Part-time CFML developer wantedSouth of Shasta is looking for a part-time mid to senior level developer that can assist with some projects for our clients over the next few months, possibly longer.https://southofshasta.com/blog/part-time-cfml-developer-wanted/ 6/15/22 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - Mailgun Support for ColdBox Mail ServicesI am very excited to announce the support for the Mailgun email delivery service in our ColdBox Mail Services module (cbmailservices) thanks to Scott Steinbeck.What is MailgunMailgun is an email delivery service for sending, receiving, and tracking emails.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/mailgun-support-for-coldbox-mail-services 6/15/22 - Blog - Into the Box - Announcing - Pre-Conference + 3rd Track for Into the BoxDue to Covid and other reasons, some of the CFML Community Speakers will not be able to make this years Into the Box - but we wanted to include them anyways.

Available in CommandBox and from the Lucee Downloads Sitehttps://download.lucee.org/CommandBox v5.5.0 and v5.5.1 releasedCommandBox 5.5.0 was released. We found some issues due to a last minute change, we rolled out a 5.5.1 patch yesterday, that seems to solve that initial issue.https://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandboxCommandBox Docker v3.5.0 Images ReleasedToday we are pleased to announce the release of version 3.5.0 of our CommandBox Docker images, which contains significant upgrades to the underlying CommandBox engine.Most significantly, this release upgrades the CommandBox binary to 5.5.1, which uses Lucee 5.3.9 as the underlying CFML engine. In addition, this release changes the underlying base image over to use the eclipse-temurin image builds, as the adoptopenjdk builds are being sunsetted. With this change, the underlying Debian version changes to use Ubuntu 20.0.0 (focal). As such, some custom installs in Dockerfiles may need updates to available packages from this distro.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-docker-v350-images-released ColdBox Elixir v4 ReleasedHot off the presses, ColdBox Elixir v4 is now available on NPM. This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods.

And, as I've become more experienced as a software engineer, I've begun to lean more heavily on the database as a means to enforce data integrity (with UNIQUE KEY constraints) and to drive idempotent workflows. That said, I'm still trying to figure out where in the software stack it makes sense to put all the finer details.

This got me thinking about JavaScript and the Array.from() method. The Array.from() method allows you to create shallow copies of other arrays and Array-like values. Would it be worth having something like an arrayFrom() built-in function (BIF) in ColdFusion? https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4258-for-consideration-an-arrayfrom-function-in-coldfusion.htm 5/2/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Safely Using Array.sublist() To Generate Slices In Lucee CFMLThe other day, in the comments of my post on the performance overhead of arraySlice() in Lucee CFML, Brad Wood mentioned that it would be much faster to dip down into the Java layer and use ArrayList.sublist(). But then, in the comments of the Lucee Jira ticket, Pothys Ravichandran cautioned that .sublist() actually returns a wrapper to the original array, not a new array. As such, mutating the results of the .sublist() call would not be safe. That said, we can easily generate a new ColdFusion array from the .sublist() result in Lucee CFML to keep things running smoothly.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4257-safely-using-array-sublist-to-generate-slices-in-lucee-cfml.htm 5/1/22 - Tweet - Scott Steinbeck - CFDocs GoodiesSome goodies added to cfdocs.com #cfml #lucee #Opensource https://t.co/v5DYIuconu https://t.co/N0RFWu8O4R https://t.co/iy4aVkGFwnhttps://t.co/mrwULlbWoh https://twitter.com/uniquetrio2000/status/1520548007157985280 https://twitter.com/uniquetrio20004/29/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels Fully Embraces ForgeBox PackagesAs you may know, many years ago CFWheels embraced the distribution of Plugins via ForgeBox packages instead of maintaining our own directory. But the framework itself remains illusive. There was some work done in the last few months to put up packages for the framework but those packages were being maintained by hand which made them a show stopper for a long term solution.Well, thanks to a new CI workflow based on GitHub Actions we now have the building and publishing of the packages fully automated. Giving credit where credit is due, the new workflow borrows heavily from the ColdBox workflow. It used GitHub Actions, Ant, and CommandBox to automate the process.https://cfwheels.org/blog/cfwheels-fully-embraces-forgebox-packages/ 4/27/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - R.O.P.E. And Battling Post-Deployment DepressionYesterday morning, I enabled a feature-flag in production that quietly released a new feature to all of our InVision customers. This was the culmination of a week's worth of incremental builds and deployments. And while a week doesn't sound like a long time, every day leading up to it was exciting—every line of code that I wrote was exhilarating.

There are clears benefits and drawbacks to wearing a lot of hats. Knowing a little bit about a lot of things can cut down on communication overhead and enable teams to move faster. But, without specialization, solutions will almost certainly be sub-optimal; and, "best practices" may not even be known to the engineer. Ideally, a team should consistent of both generalists and subject-matter experts (SME). This kind of balance creates a "healthy tension" that tempers perfectionism with pragmatism and keeps everyone moving forward at the right pace...https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4255-working-code-podcast-episode-72-wearing-too-many-hats.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 75  ColdFusion positions from 43 companies across 36 locations in 5 Countries.0 new jobs listed this weekOther Job Links Ortus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Consortium Inchttps://www.dice.com/jobs/detail/-/10183574/7322396 Senior Application Developer UK with Easy Direct Debitshttps://www.easydirectdebits.co.uk/job/senior-application-developer-uk/ You'll be working with Adam Cameron https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/work-with-me-here-revisited.html There is a jobs channel in the cfml slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the WeekCFWheels - EverythingCFWheels removed a couple of their old packages, changed things up and re-deployed all of their packages again.

Creating and developing applications using CFCs enables you to separate the code logic from the design and presentation. Utilizing CFCs and creating a clear structured format for your code will help reduce the complexity of logic within your pages and improve the application speed. Having a clearly structured, the well-organized code base will make it easier to develop as an individual and share resources within a team.

But, it's not. A lot of it has old, historical choices that need to be cleaned-up. And, some formatting choices simply can't be persisted safely (such as CDN - Content-Delivery Network - domains). As such, I will always have to do some degree of pre-render processing on my persisted HTML content before I show it to the user. And, as of yesterday, I started performing that clean-up and sanitization using jSoup in ColdFusion 2021.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4201-using-jsoup-to-clean-up-and-normalize-html-in-coldfusion-2021.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - Returning Permissions With My API Response Payloads In ColdFusionAt InVision, I work on a large AngularJS SPA (Single-Page Application) that is backed by a monolithic ColdFusion API. When the SPA initially loads, it is provided with as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) payload about the user that is then used to render various Calls-To-Action (CTA) within the View Partials. Lately, however, I've been leaning heavily into returning permissions information right inside my partial API responses. This is proving to reduce the complexity of my view-logic while also making the views more flexible and the application more responsive to changes.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4198-returning-permissions-with-my-api-response-payloads-in-coldfusion.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Normalizing 0xA0 (No-Break Space) And Other Special Characters Within ColdFusion Form PostsYesterday, I was trying to clean-up some formatting in my comments data-table when I noticed that a lot of comments contained a funky character, . I looked this up in the Unicode Character Table and it turns out to be a No-Break Space. Apparently, some text-editors will just randomly inject this character? Well, I don't want this character in my comments. And, for that matter, I don't want other special characters like "smart quotes" and "bullets" either. As such, I took some time to make my ColdFusion form scope pre-processing a bit more robust in my ColdFusion 2021 blogging platform.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4199-normalizing-0xa0-no-break-space-and-other-special-characters-within-coldfusion-form-posts.htmRelated tweet - https://twitter.com/BenNadel/status/1489960042157719556 Blog - Ben Nadel - Performing A Double-Check Lock Around "Run Once" Code In ColdFusionOne of the wonderful things about ColdFusion is that it comes with a fully-synchronized application setup workflow thanks to the onApplicationStart() life-cycle method in the Application.cfc ColdFusion application framework component. But, not all "setup" code can be run during the bootstrapping of the application. Some setup code needs to be run "on demand" later in the application lifetime. In such scenarios, I almost always reach for a double-check lock pattern of execution. This allows setup code to be synchronized with almost no locking overhead.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4197-performing-a-double-check-lock-around-run-once-code-in-coldfusion.htm Tweet - Zac Spitzer - Links to related tests for tags and functions to the docsAs #lucee has lots of detailed tests, I figured it would be good to add a link to the related tests for tags and functions to the docsi.e. https://docs.lucee.org/reference/tags/zipparam.html https://github.com/lucee/lucee-docs/pull/1225  #cfmlhttps://twitter.com/zackster/status/1490333765633253385https://twitter.com/zacksterTweet - Shawn Holmes - I was interviewed in this Issuehttps://twitter.com/Hanzo55/status/1490101474377887744 https://twitter.com/Hanzo55Blog - James Moberg - ColdFusion CGI Scope is not Read-OnlyI've was been always under the impression that the ColdFusion CGI scope was "read-only".

Feature flags can be updated on the fly at any time by any user and don't require deploying new code to your servers. LaunchDarkly is a system that helps you manage your feature flags and how they respond to the users of your site. It offers detailed tracking of each user, each flag, and a robust set of rules for determining which users see which features. In this session, we'll see an overview of how to use the new LaunchDarkly SDK which can be used in ColdFusion applications. Demos will include both ColdBox apps and non-ColdBox legacy apps.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/281577538/ Adobe 1 Day Workshop - Adobe ColdFusion Workshop with Damien BruyndonckxWed, November 10, 202109:00 - 17:00 CEST EUROPEANJoin the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

However, I sometimes talk to people who don't realize that this is possible. So, I wanted to try and amplify Julian's post. In Lucee CFML, you can read environment (ENV) variables directly out of the server scope. They are just automatically there - no dipping into the Java layer or dealing with the java.lang.System class. Lucee CFML brings these values to the surface for easy consumption.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4140-reading-environment-env-variables-from-the-server-scope-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Making SQL Queries More Flexible With LIKE In MySQL 5.7.32 And Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47While you might stand-up something like Elasticsearch, Lucene, or Solr in order to provide robust and flexible text-based searches in your ColdFusion application, your relational database is more than capable of performing (surprisingly fast) pattern matching on TEXT and VARCHAR fields using the LIKE operator. This is especially true if the SQL query in question is already being limited based on an indexed value. At InVision, I often use the LIKE operator to allow for light-weight text-based searches. And, as of late, I've been massaging the inputs in order to make the matches even more flexible, allowing for some slightly fuzzy matching in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4137-making-sql-queries-more-flexible-with-like-in-mysql-5-7-32-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Creating A Group-Based Incrementing Value In MySQL 5.7.32 And Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47In the past few weeks, I've been learning a lot about how I can leverage SERIALIZABLE transactions in MySQL, the scope of said transactions, and some hidden gotchas around locking empty rows. As a means to lock (no pun intended) some of that information in my head-meat, I thought it would be a fun code kata to create a Jira-inspired ticketing system in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47 that uses an application-defined, group-based incrementing value in MySQL 5.7.32.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4135-creating-a-group-based-incrementing-value-in-mysql-5-7-32-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Creating A Group-Based Incrementing Value Using LAST_INSERT_ID() In MySQL 5.7.32 And Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47Yesterday, I took inspiration from Jira's ticketing system and explored the idea of creating a group-based incrementing value in MySQL. In my approach, I used a SERIALIZABLE transaction to safely "update and read" a shared sequence value across parallel threads. In response to that post, my InVision co-worker - Michael Dropps - suggested that I look at using LAST_INSERT_ID(expr) to achieve the same outcome with less transaction isolation. I had never seen the LAST_INSERT_ID() function used with an expression argument before. So, I wanted to revisit yesterday's post using this technique.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4136-creating-a-group-based-incrementing-value-using-last-insert-id-in-mysql-5-7-32-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog / Documentation - Zac Spitszer - Building and testing Lucee extensions documentationI have written up a detailed guide on how to Build and Test Lucee Extensions, using Lucee Script Runner and Apache Ant.It's a little bit complicated to setup, but I have developed a toolchain, which once set up, makes the entire process really dead simple.https://dev.lucee.org/t/building-and-testing-lucee-extensions-documentation/9053 Tweet - Mark Takata - Adobe - The CF Summit 2021 Keynote announcementOK!

But, since some people don't make it a habit to read documentation, I wanted to share this fact more widely and with much excitement: the CFQueryParam tag accepts arrays for its value attribute. And, when given an array, the tag will seamless convert the parameter into a list-based parameter. This is just one of the many developer ergonomic niceties that comes with Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4128-cfqueryparam-value-attribute-seamlessly-handles-arrays-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox 5.4.2 Released!There is a new update for CommandBox CLI available.  Version 5.4.2 is a patch update that contains a few bug fixes including two important ones.

And, to make this DAL more flexible, I tend to create some sort of "By Filter" function that allows me to query a given table using a variety of WHERE conditions. In order to make this query "simple", I'll start it with a WHERE TRUE condition so that every subsequent condition can uniformly start with AND. I recently read something somewhere (source forgotten) that indicated such an approach would cause index issues; however, this does not jive with what I read in High Performance MySQL. As such, I wanted to put together a quick exploration to see how using WHERE TRUE would affect MySQL's query planner outcomes.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4127-using-where-true-to-create-dynamic-high-performance-sql-queries-in-mysql-5-7-32-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Tweet - Brad Wood - Playwright Website Screenshots Task Runner@uniquetrio2000 asked me to help figure out the Playwright Java lib which lets you take screenshots of websites.  It works pretty well once it downloads all its assets.

Previously it was offered as an open source platform but that support ended in August of this year.As seasoned MURA users – with some big clients running it – this could have presented a major problem. So, we came up with a solution… and we're proud to announce that We Are Orange has forked the project and are now supporting a new version – called MASA – continuing its lifespan as an open source platform.https://www.weareorange.eu/updates/from-mura-to-masa Blog - Ben Nadel - Exploring The Scope Of SERIALIZABLE Transaction Row-Locking In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47Earlier this week, I looked at using SERIALIZABLE transactions to enforce unique naming constraints in MySQL and Lucee CFML. Transaction isolation isn't a topic that I'm super comfortable with. As such, I wanted to continue exploring the way in which transaction locking affects concurrent access to a given database table. More specifically, I wanted to better understand the scope of row-locking that is applied in a SERIALIZABLE transaction in MySQL 5.7.32 and Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4122-exploring-the-scope-of-serializable-transaction-row-locking-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - CFThread "ElapsedTime" Is Not "Processor Time" In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201This morning, as I was trying to perform some follow-up exploration on SERIALIZABLE transactions in MySQL, I noticed something strange about the metadata exposed by the CFThread tag in Lucee CFML. Whereas Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) documents the ElapsedTime property as being "The amount of processor time that was spent handling the thread", this property looks to mean something different in Lucee CFML. It appears to be the amount of time that has elapsed since the CFThread tag was spawned; but, has nothing to do with when it ended; or, how much time it took to execute.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4121-cfthread-elapsedtime-is-not-processor-time-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Fixing Protocols In My ColdFusion Custom Tag DSL For HTML EmailsLast week, I looked at the fact that [Yahoo! Mail won't render href attributes with encoded protocols]. In that post, I created a ColdFusion user defined function (UDF) to un-encoded the https:// portion of the href attribute. After letting that approach bake in production at InVison for a while without an issues, I've decided to move the fix into my ColdFusion custom tag DSL for HTML emails. With this new implementation, I've pushed the logic down into the and custom tag implementations so that the developer can continue to use these tags without any changes to their code.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4123-fixing-protocols-in-my-coldfusion-custom-tag-dsl-for-html-emails.htm Blog - Ben Nadel - Request Tracing Propagation When Consuming Amazon SQS Queues In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201As I continue to explore the use of Amazon SQS queues in Lucee CFML, I have to start thinking about request tracing. In a monolithic application, request tracing is much less of a value-add since most operations happen within a single request. Once I start using a message queue to decouple steps within a larger workflow, however, I break out of that single-request boundary. As such, if I want to identify "message creation" as being related to "message consumption", I have to propagate the concept of tracing through the message queue life-cycle. I'm sure there are loads of ways to do this. So, what follows is just one possible way to propagate request tracing through Amazon SQS in a Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201 application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4118-request-tracing-propagation-when-consuming-amazon-sqs-queues-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm Tweet - Ben Nadel - Too Clever or Too Cool - Execute assignments as part of return statementsI am sure many people will hate this syntax / technique. But, I love the fact that #Lucee #CFML allows me to execute assignments as part of return statements. This allows my #ColdFusion to look more and more like my #JavaScript. Both of which are my happy place!

For last 8-years, Ben Nadel has poured his heart and soul into InVision, a product that drives design collaboration. During this period, his area of expertise has focused on the (now named) "legacy" platform - the ColdFusion and AngularJS monolith that has built the business into what it is today. Soon, however, the "legacy" platform will be wholly subsumed by the "modern" platform - a distributed, microservices architecture built on Go, Node.js, and React.In today's episode, Ben opens up about the emotional struggle that he's facing as his role on the legacy platform comes to a end. He wonders what it's going to be like to start over; to go from a big fish in a CFML pond to a novice in a Go ocean; and, to find a way to not feel like a complete failure when his productivity drops significantly.One of the scariest things for Ben is that he's not sure if he'll be able to trust his gut. While the fundamentals of programming will certainly transfer from the legacy platform over to the modern platform, it's hard to know if future "feelings" will be true indicators of potential problems. Or, if it's just a byproduct of his lack of familiarity with the new architecture and language constructs.Only time will tell. And, until then, he intends to grind hard and deliver as much value as he possibly can on the legacy platform while he still has time and the skills necessary to get the job done.ASIDE: While not mentioned by name in the show, Travis Heinström - the SVP of Engineering at InVision - is the person who wanted to make sure that Ben has all the room he needs to "feel his feelings" when the legacy platform is shut down. This is perhaps one of the most emotionally-intelligent things that Ben has ever heard a manager ask about.Notes & LinksFollow the show!

An engineer at SquareSpace once referred to his company as "an overnight success, 7-years in the making." This cheeky insight pays homage to the marathon of work that is often required when building a successful product and / or business. Which begs the question: when is it appropriate to start thinking about scale? Should you be taking it into account during early ideation and the construction of your MVP (Minimum Viable Product)? Or, should you kick the can down the road with the assumption that you can always throw money at the problem later (either by hiring smart people or by vertically scaling your existing compute resources)? This week, the crew talks about their experience in scaling web application systems; what they have - and haven't yet - had the need to consider; and, how they calculate the return on investment (ROI) when it comes to adding complexity to a potential solution ("innovation tokens", anyone?). If you like this episode about scaling, you may also enjoy our previous episode on Monoliths vs. Microservices ( https://redcircle.com/shows/workingcode/episodes/2a1b00a1-d766-49fe-9ef4-64cf8363c22b ). *Triumphs & Failures* * *Adam's Triumph* - After switching to a new platform, his ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) code stopped working for "reasons". And, instead of spending a whole week trying to figure it out, he just spent a single day replacing the problematic ORM queries with native SQL statements. This was a veritable "Master Class" in pragmatic problem solving. * *Ben's Failure / Triumph* - This week has been kicking his butt ! He's exhausted and stressed out - even his feet hurt. This is due, primarily, to the HTML emails that he's been crafting at work. That said, he's been able to take his "failure" and transform it into a "triumph" by channeling that frustration into an exciting new approach for building HTML emails that's powered by ColdFusion Custom Tags. It's still early, but he's hella stoked on the concept! * *Carol's Triumph* - She wrote some rather complicated code that dealt with edge-cases in her application that weren't really ever going to happen. And, when her teammates discussed this with her, she did the honorable thing and removed her code, leaving in its place a much simpler solution. The real triumph here is that she was able to overcome the "sunk cost fallacy" we engineers often succumb to when having to confront the questionable value of our own solutions. * *Tim's Failure* - What started out as a thrilling exploration of Redis has turned into a battle for sanity! For reasons that he has not yet been able to understand, the data that he's been writing to a Redis cache isn't always available for immediate read. This is in his local development environment and he's the only one hitting the code. It just doesn't make any sense! *Notes & Links* * Redis ( https://redis.io/ ) - a blazing-fast in-memory data structure store. * CFRedis ( https://github.com/MWers/cfredis ) - a ColdFusion client for the Jedis Java driver for Redis. * Jedis ( https://github.com/redis/jedis ) - a blazingly small and sane Java client for Redis. * Mango Blog ( https://www.mangoblog.org/ ) - an extensible blog engine released under the Apache license, built with ColdFusion. * CockroachDB ( https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ ) - a distributed SQL database built on a transactional and strongly-consistent key-value store. * Dan McKinley: Boring Technology Club ( http://boringtechnology.club/ ) - a spoken word version of Dan's essay, "Choose Boring Technology". * Ben Nadel: "Enterprise" is not a dirty word ( https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3976-enterprise-is-not-a-dirty-word.htm ) - a blog post discussing the merits of "enterprise" software. * FrameworkOne (FW/1) ( http://framework-one.github.io/ ) - a light-weight conventions-over-configuration framework for ColdFusion web applications. * Blocking-Request Budget - a concept in which serving a user's request can only entail a limited number of blocking requests. * AWS Fargate ( https://aws.amazon.com/fargate/ ) - services compute for containers. * AWS Lambda ( https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/ ) - a "functions as a service" (FaaS) platform. * Mailgun ( https://www.mailgun.com/ ) - an email service provider (ESP) built for developers. * Let's Encrypt ( https://letsencrypt.org/ ) - a nonprofit Certificate Authority that has brought free TLS certificates to the masses.

Monoliths are bad! Microservices are good! These are the "obvious" truths that many engineers hold close to heart. So, why is it that Ben Nadel ( https://www.bennadel.com ) has been slowly merging some of his Microservices back into his Monolith ( https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3944-why-ive-been-merging-microservices-back-into-the-monolith-at-invision.htm ) ? It turns out that a Monolith - like a Microservice - is a valid architectural choice that carries its own set of pros and cons. And, for him, his team, and their particular set of skills, the Monolith is proving to contain the right set of trade-offs. This week, the crew talks about Ben's journey; why InVision ( https://www.invisionapp.com/ ) started using Microservices in the first place; and, what made him realize that it was time to start pulling services back into the core Monolith. There are no hard truths here - only thoughtful, context-aware considerations. Follow the show!

He's usually not that good about taking time off; so, taking a whole week off between Christmas and New Year's was actually quite relaxing. * *Ben's Triumph* - He managed to stay production at work during the "deployment freeze" that takes place during the holidays! This meant creating lots of small, parallel git branches tied up in a bow, ready and waiting for the 2021 deployments to begin. * *Carol's Triumph* - She stayed up until 3am writing Unit Tests! She doesn't often work in an environment that does much testing; so, this was a new and thrilling experience. Who knew that one could be so happy thinking about the unhappy path ! * *Tim's Triumph* - He also took the week off (his company always takes Christmas week off)! But, he's not used to taking so much time off; and, he started to get bored by Thursday (such a classic engineer). *Notes & Links* * GitHub "Draft" pull-requests ( https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/ ) - it's just like a regular Pull Request (PR); but, it's intended to be a "work in progress" (WIP). * Silento - Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjW8wmF5VWc ) - official music video. * Archer ( https://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/archer ) - a wonderfully raunchy animated series about spies (for adults).

How Clark Valberg and InVision are bringing founders’ creative ideas to life, and leading the way for remote workplaces. Clark Valberg can tell you the exact date that his digital product design platform, InVision, launched. It was also his wedding day. In hindsight, it’s telling that Valberg was able to successfully overlap these professional and personal milestones—InVision is known for its culture of work-life integration, with a 100% remote workforce nearing 900 employees. Eight years later, both InVision and Valberg’s marriage are still going strong. When Valberg first launched the platform in 2011, it was meant to be a simple prototyping tool for his creative agency. Today, the company offers a full collaboration suite, InVision Cloud, that has redefined how companies design their products. In addition to collecting over $350 million in funding and a being valued close to $2 billion—officially making it a unicorn—the startup now boasts over 5 million users and is the platform of choice for 97% of Fortune 100 companies, including major names like Amazon, Starbucks, and Uber. Along the way, the company also redesigned the way its employees relate to the workplace, demonstrating early on just what’s possible in a remote company culture done right. A Graceful Stumble Before Valberg was known as the CEO of one of Silicon Valley’s most beloved tech companies, he ran a New York-based creative agency called Epicenter Consulting, from 2003 to 2011. It was a design and development shop that created websites for software companies. However, there was one issue their team consistently ran into when working with clients—incorporating feedback. Valberg found it challenging to bring his clients along on the design journey, which meant that the first time they saw their website or app was after it had already been coded. That made the feedback process difficult and inefficient. This got him wondering: How could his team show designs to their clients earlier and more often? That’s how the idea for InVision came to life. It was created to put all their designs into a platform where clients could see and comment on them — similar to how a Google Document allows multiple people to collaborate within the same project. This was a huge step forward compared to the standard method of sending out designs in PDFs or as screen shots. Valberg had zero intention of turning this product into a standalone business. It wasn’t until someone inside his agency suggested sharing InVision with other companies that the thought even crossed his mind. At first, Valberg resisted the idea. He figured people wouldn’t be open to drastically changing the way they worked with their clients. However, he was eventually swayed and put out feelers to see if people would bite. As it turns out, people were interested. While Valberg was pleased with the response, it still hadn’t occurred to him to turn InVision into a full-time business. After all, his agency was doing extraordinarily well and bringing in $1 million in revenue each year. Again, fate stepped in and a designer Valberg worked with suggested raising venture money. And again, Valberg brushed off the idea. However, the designer persisted and made an introduction to angel investor Daniel Wolfson.  Immediately, Wolfson saw the potential of InVision and connected Valberg to investors at FirstMark Capital. From there, a deal unfolded rapidly. All of these events were, as Valberg puts it, a graceful stumble onto the path that he’s on today. By the time Valberg secured his seed round of $1.1 million, users were signing up by the hundreds every day. This was when he realized that he needed to go all in on InVision. His wife took over his agency and successfully ran the business until 2018, while Valberg went through the next eight rounds of funding and elevated InVision to its esteemed status. Ahead of the Curve One of the characteristics that differentiates InVision from other companies is its 100% remote workforce. While the concept is more common now, it was considered bizarre back when the company first launched. The idea originally came about as a talent hack. When the startup was in its early stages, Valberg and his co-founder, Ben Nadel, spent entire days taking engineers out to lunch to woo them into being their first developers. They quickly discovered how competitive the New York talent market was—especially with a behemoth like Google opening up their new office next door. They sat down and asked themselves—what do we have to do over the next six months to be successful? They came to the conclusion that their focus needed to be completely dedicated to finding product-market fit and product development. However, they didn’t have the resources to address either of those priorities with the amount of time they were spending on recruiting. So they decided to hack it. Valberg recalled working with many contractors at his agency. They were extremely talented but lived in far-off places, like Phoenix, Arizona. What if they hired those folks and let them stay where they were? Valberg reached out to the freelancers he worked with in the past and, instead of pitching a job, he pitched a lifestyle. According to Valberg, it wasn’t the remote work that was appealing; it was the shift to life-work integration that his company offered. Valberg recognized that work-life separation wasn’t realistic in today’s society. Instead, he decided to focus on offering a flexible lifestyle that would allow employees to better integrate their work and home lives. The idea resonated. The co-founders hired 10 people remotely in less time than it would have taken to hire two people in New York. “At the time, this was a big, scary idea. It’s a question about trading complexities. We can handle the complexity of this extremely challenging market and end up overpaying for talent that wasn’t necessarily the quality we needed. That feels like a war you can’t win. Or we could figure out this remote thing, which felt like a design challenge,” Valberg says. Clearly, this strategy has been a huge success for InVision. The company is anticipated to reach 900 employees by the end of 2019 and doesn’t have plans to slow down. Valberg recognizes this as an inflection point in their growth, and he remains extremely conscious of the problems that may pop up from scaling, HR, and culture perspectives. However, he believes the advantages profoundly outweigh the challenges—and his team is ready to lean into any they run into. Solving Problems With Bad Ideas At a design-forward company like InVision, creativity is paramount. But even the brightest minds experience slumps and roadblocks. That’s why Valberg and his team have a secret weapon in their back pockets for any time they get stuck in a rut. It’s called “bad version.” This phrase, which has become a cultural mantra at InVision, is a permission slip that says, “What I’m about to say might not be a great idea, but that’s OK.” Valberg says his team uses it whenever they hit a wall during brainstorms. Most of the time, the wall is a result of people holding back their ideas out of a fear of judgment. “Bad version” serves as a catalyst for the creative process and empowers people to share less-than-perfect ideas without fear of judgment. Valberg recalls one time he was in a room with five other marketers, designers, and engineers. They were trying to figure out what to call the new plugin they created for Sketch and Photoshop, and they were stuck. To break the rut, someone said “bad version” and suggested the name Craft. The person who suggested the idea didn’t think it would end up being the name of the feature. But, as Craft users know today, it did. More importantly, it sparked the conversation and allowed the team to consider other options. Valberg uses “bad version” at home with his wife too. He says it gives each other permission to not be right and asks the other person to help expose the best part of their idea. In other words, it’s a way of encouraging healthy conflict. This is a mindset Valberg hopes more people will adopt for work, life, and beyond. “You probably have decent ideas that you’re just unwilling to share at that time for fear of judgment. That doesn’t make you an insecure person, that makes you a human person. … We become so fixated on arriving at the right answer, that we forget it’s a winding road.” Clark Valberg’s 3 Tips for Scaling a Remote Workforce Take advantage of in-person time. When the InVision team gets together in person, it’s not about getting work done—for them, the real work happens in the cloud. Instead, in-person time is used to get to know each better. Valberg believes that sharing this experience positively translates to the online environment, which is why in-person gatherings are an important part of every remote workforce. That’s why InVision has an in-person all-hands once a year and encourages employees in the same cities to get together regularly. Consider time zones, but don’t be limited by them. InVision is a truly global company. Its presence extends across the United States, South America, Europe, and beyond. Which means they have to take time zones into consideration. However, they don’t let those differences limit their teams. For instance, InVision is mindful of not having geographically-bound teams work on projects together. So while they might not group an engineering team in Australia with one in San Francisco, that doesn’t stop them from hiring engineers all over the world. Use the right tools. Of course, using the right project management software and communication tools is key to maintaining a remote culture. Valberg believes these tools can make remote cultures more efficient than working in physical places. Consider the amount of time spent gathering people physically for meetings. People run late, dip in and out of the conference room, and have to quiet down before diving into the agenda. Whereas, tools like Zoom enable people to start meetings within seconds and allow everyone to take advantage of any dead time in between. “If I’m five minutes late to call you, you don’t have someone waiting and twiddling their thumbs doing nothing,” Valberg says. Interview by Nathan Chan, feature article reprinted from Foundr Magazine, by Sophia Lee Key Takeaways The biggest challenge Valberg faced while running his creative agency in New York How Valberg created an in-house product to make the feedback process easier for his clients Why he didn’t want to sell his product to the public, and what eventually swayed him Valberg’s graceful stumble into securing his first round of funding Why the official launch for InVision was also the most important day of Valberg’s life InVision’s journey to unicorn status The reason Valberg decided to make the company 100% remote, and how he scaled it to 900 employees How the InVision team ensures employees never get stuck in a creative rut
