In this episode, we sit down with Rami Krispin, a data scientist at Apple and active producer in forecasting, to explore his journey into forecasting and data science. He shares what first sparked his interest in the field and how that passion led him to develop key contributions, including the Hands-On Time Series Analysis with R book and the TSstudio package. We discuss his motivation for writing the book, who it's for, and how TSstudio and other R packages he has developed have helped practitioners in the forecasting space. He also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming book, Applied Time Series Analysis and Forecasting with R, and the new topics it will cover.We then dive into the challenges of deploying forecasting models at scale and the role of MLOps in making machine learning projects production-ready. As a Docker Captain, our guest explains how Docker has changed his approach to time series forecasting and MLOps. We also discuss best practices for forecasting, common mistakes practitioners make, and strategies for improving reproducibility. Looking ahead, we talk about where time series forecasting is heading, the differences between R, Julia, and Python in this space, and how each ecosystem serves different needs. You can follow his work on LinkedIn, subscribe to his newsletter, and stay updated on his latest projects.Website: https://linktr.ee/ramikrispinLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rami-krispin/

This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: In the cloud, ideas turn into innovation at virtually limitless speed and scale. To secure innovation in the cloud, you need Runtime Insights to prioritize critical risks and stay ahead of unknown threats. What's Runtime Insights, you ask? Visit sysdig.com/screaming to learn more. That's S-Y-S-D-I-G.com/screaming.My thanks as well to Sysdig for sponsoring this ridiculous podcast.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn, a little bit off the beaten path today, in that I'm talking to someone who, I suppose like me, if that's not considered to be an insult, has found themselves eminently unemployable in a quote-unquote, “Real job.” My guest today is Bret Fisher, DevOps dude and cloud-native trainer. Bret, great to talk to you. What do you do?Bret: [laugh]. I'm glad to be here, Corey. I help people for a living like a lot of us end up doing in tech. But nowadays, it's courses, it's live trainings, webinars, all that stuff. And then of course, the fun side of it is the YouTube podcast, hanging out with friends, chatting on the internet. And then a little bit of running a Discord community, which is one of the best places to have a little text chat community, if you don't know Discord.Corey: I've been trying to get the Discord and it isn't quite resonating with me, just because by default, it alerts on everything that happens in any server you're in. It, at least historically, was very challenging to get that tuned in, so I just stopped having anything alert me on my phone, which means now I miss things constantly. And that's been fun and challenging. I still have the slack.lastweekinaws.com community with a couple of thousand people in it.Bret: Nice. Yeah, I mean, some people love Slack. I still have a Slack community for my courses. Discord, I feel like is way more community friendly. By the way, a good server admin knows how to change those settings, which there are a thousand settings in Discord, so server admins, I don't blame you for not seeing that setting.But there is one where you can say new members, don't bug them on every message; only bug them on a mentions or, you know, channel mentions and stuff like that. And then of course, you turn off all those channel mentions and abilities for people to abuse it. But yeah, I had the same problem at first. I did not know what I was doing and it took me years to kind of figure out. The community, we now have 15,000 people. We call it Cloud Native DevOps, but it's basically people from all walks of DevOps, you know, recovering IT pros.And the wonderful thing about it is you always start out—like, you'd do the same thing, I'm sure—where you start a podcast or YouTube channel or a chat community or Telegram, or a subreddit, or whatever your thing is, and you try to build a community and you don't know if it's going to work and you invite your friends and then they show up for a day and then go away. And I've been very lucky and surprised that the Discord server has, to this point, taken on sort of a, its own nature. We've got, I don't know, close to a dozen moderators now and people are just volunteering their time to help others. It's wonderful. I actually—I consider it, like, one of the safe places, unlike maybe Stack Overflow where you might get hated for the wrong question. And we try to guide you to a better question so [laugh] that we can answer you or help you. So, every day I go in there, and there's a dozen conversations I missed that I wasn't able to keep up with. So, it's kind of fun if you're into that thing.Corey: I remember the olden days when I was one of the volunteer staff members on the freenode IRC network before its untimely and awful demise, and I really have come to appreciate the idea of, past a certain point, you can either own the forum that you're working within or you can participate in it, but being a moderator, on some level, sets apart how people treat you in some strange ways. And none of these things are easy once you get into the nuances of codes of conduct, of people participating in good faith, but also are not doing so constructively. And people are hard. And one of these years I should really focus on addressing aspects of that with what I'm focusing on.Bret: [laugh]. Yeah, the machines—I mean, as frustrating as the machines are, they at least are a little more reliable. I don't have anonymous machines showing up yet in Discord, although we do get almost daily spammers and stuff like that. So, you know, I guess I'm blessed to have attracted some of the spam and stuff like that. But a friend of mine who runs a solid community for podcasters—you know, for podcasts hosters—he warned me, he's like, you know, if you really want to make it the community that you have the vision for, it requires daily work.Like, it's a part-time job, and you have to put the time in, or it will just not be that and be okay with that. Like, be okay with it being a small, you know, small group of people that stick around and it doesn't really grow. And that's what's happened on the Slack side of things is I didn't care and feed it, so it has gotten pretty quiet over there as we've grown the Discord server. Because I kind of had to choose, you know? Because we—like you, I started with Slack long, long ago. It was the only thing out there. Discord was just for gamers.And in the last four or five years, I think Discord—I think during the pandemic, they officially said, “We are now more than gamers,” which I was kind of waiting for to really want to invest my company's—I mean, my company of three—you know, my company [laugh] time into a platform that I thought was maybe just for gamers; couldn't quite figure it out. And once they kind of officially said, “Yeah, we're for all communities,” we're more in, you know, and they have that—the thing I really appreciate like we had an IRC, but was mostly human-driven is that Discord, unlike Slack, has actual community controls that make it a safer place, a more inclusive place. And you can actually contact Discord when you have a spammer or someone doing bad things, or you have a server raid where there's a whole bunch of accounts and bot accounts trying to take you down, you can actually reach out to Discord, where Slack doesn't have any of that, they don't have a way for you to reach out. You can't block people or ban them or any of that stuff with Slack. And we—the luckily—the lucky thing of Dis—I kind of look at Discord as, like, the best new equivalent of IRC, even though for a lot of people IRC is still the thing, right? We have new clients now, you can actually have off—you could have sort of synced IRC, right, where you can have a web client that remembers you so you didn't lose the chat after you left, which was always the problem back in the day.Corey: Oh, yeah. I just parked it on, originally, a hardware box, now EC2. And this ran Irssi as my client—because I'm old school—inside of tmux and called it a life. But yeah, I still use that from time to time, but the conversation has moved on. One challenge I've had is that a lot of the people I talk to about billing nuances skew sometimes, obviously in the engineering direction, but also in the business user perspective and it always felt, on some level like it was easier to get business users onto Slack from a community perspective—Bret: Mmm. Absolutely. Yeah.Corey: —than it was for Discord. I mean, this thing started as well. This was years ago, before Discord had a lot of those controls. Might be time to take another bite at that apple.Bret: Yeah. Yeah, I definitely—and that, I think that's why I still keep the Slack open is there are some people, they will only go there, right? Like, they just don't want another thing. That totally makes sense. In fact, that's kind of what's happening to the internet now, right?We see the demise of Twitter or X, we see all these other new clients showing up, and what I've just seen in the dev community is we had this wonderful dev community on Twitter. For a moment. For a few years. It wasn't perfect by far, there was a lot people that still didn't want to use Twitter, but I felt like there was—if you wanted to be in the cloud-native community, that was very strong and you didn't always have to jump into Slack. And then you know, this billionaire came along and kind of ruined it, so people have fractured over to Mastodon and we've got some people have run Threads and some people on Bluesky, and now—and then some people like me that have stuck with Twitter.And I feel like I've lost a chunk of my friends because I don't want to spend my life on six different platforms. So, I am—I have found myself actually kind of sort of regressing to our Discord because it's the people I know, we're all talking about the same things, we all have a common interest, and rather than spending my time trying to find those people on the socials as much as I used to. So, I don't know, we'll see.Corey: Something that I have found, I'm curious to get your take on this, you've been doing this for roughly twice as long as I have, but what I've been having to teach myself is that I am not necessarily representative of the totality of the audience. And, aside from the obvious demographic areas, I learned best by reading or by building something myself—I don't generally listen to podcasts, which is a weird confession in this forum for me to wind up admitting to—and I don't basically watch videos at all. And it took me a while to realize that not everyone is like me; those are wildly popular forms of absorbing information. What I have noticed that the audience engages differently in different areas, whereas for this podcast, for the first six months, I didn't think that I'd remember to turn the microphone on. And that was okay; it was an experiment, and I enjoyed doing it. But then I went to a conference and wound up getting a whole bunch of feedback.Whereas for the newsletter, I had immediate responses to basically every issue when I sent it out. And I think the reason is, is because people are not sitting in front of a computer when they're listening to something and they're not going to be able to say, “Well, let me give you a piece of my mind,” in quite the same way. And by the time they remember later, it feels weird, like, calling into a radio show. But when you actually meet someone, “Yeah, I love your stuff.” And they'll talk about the episodes I've had out. But you can be forgiven for in some cases in the social media side of it for thinking that I'd forgotten to publish this thing.Bret: Yeah. I think that's actually a pretty common trait. There was a time where I was sort of into the science of learning and whatnot, and one of the things that came out of that was that the way we communicate or the way we learn and then the way—the input and the outputs are different per human. It's actually almost, like, comparable maybe to love languages, if you've read that book, where the way we give love and the way we receive love from others is—we prefer it in different ways and it's often not the same thing. And I think the same is true of learning and teaching, where my teaching style has always been visual.I think have almost always been in all my videos. My first course seven years ago, I was in it phy—like, I had my headshot in there and I just thought that that was a part of the best way you could make that content. And doesn't mean that I'm instantly better; it just means I wanted to communicate with my hands, maybe I got a little bit of Italian or French in me or something [laugh] where I'm moving my hands around a lot. So, I think that the medium is very specific to the person. And I meet people all the time that I find out, they didn't learn from me—they didn't learn about me, rather, from my course; they learned about me from a conference talk because they prefer to watch those or someone else learned about me from the podcast I run because they stumbled onto that.And it always surprises me because I always figure that since my biggest audience in my Udemy courses—over 300,000 people there—that that's how most of the people find me. And it turns out nowadays that when I meet people, a lot of times it's not. It's some other, you know, other venue. And now we have people showing up in the Discord server from the Discord Discovery. It's kind of a little feature in Discord that allows you to find servers that are on the topics you're interested in and were listed in there and people will find me that way and jump in not knowing that I have created courses, I have a weekly YouTube Live show, I have all the other things.And yeah, it's just it's kind of great, but also as a content creator, it's kind of exhausting because you—if you're interested in all these things, you can't possibly focus on all of them at the [laugh] same time. So, what is it the great Will Smith says? “Do two things and two things suffer.” [laugh]. And that's exactly what my life is like. It's like, I can't focus on one thing, so they all aren't as amazing as they could be, maybe, if I had only dedicated to one thing.Corey: No, I'm with you on that it's a saying yes to something means inherently saying no to something else. But for those of us whose interests are wide and varied, I find that there are always more things to do than I will ever be able to address. You have to pick and choose, on some level. I dabble with a lot of the stuff that I work on. I have given thought in the past towards putting out video courses or whatnot, but you've done that for ages and it just seems like it is so much front-loaded work, in many cases with things I'm not terrific at.And then, at least in my side of the world, oh, then AWS does another console refresh, as they tend to sporadically, and great, now I have to go back and redo all of the video shoots showing how to do it because now it's changed just enough to confuse people. And it feels like a treadmill you climb on top of and never get off.Bret: It can definitely feel like that. And I think it's also harder to edit existing courses like I'm doing now than it is to just make up something brand new and fresh. And there's something about… we love to teach, I think what we're learning in the moment. I think a lot of us, you get something exciting and you want to talk about it. And so, I think that's how a lot of people's conference talk ideas come up if you think about it.Like you're not usually talking about the thing that you were interested in a decade ago. You're talking about the thing you just learned, and you thought it was great, and you want everyone to know about it, which means you're going to make a YouTube video or a blog post or something about it, you'll share somewhere on social media about it. I think it's harder to make this—any of these content creation things, especially courses, a career if you come back to that course like I'm doing seven years after publication and you're continuing every year to update those videos. And you're thinking I—not that my interests have moved on, but my passion is in the new things. And I'm not making videos right now on new things.I'm fixing—like you're saying, like, I'm fixing the Docker Hub video because it has completely changed in seven years and it doesn't even look the same and all that. So, there's definitely—that's the work side of this business where you really have to put the time in and it may not always be fun. So, one of the things I'm learning from my business coach is like how to find ways to make some of this stuff fun again, and how to inject some joy into it without it feeling like it's just the churn of video after video after video, which, you know, you can fall into that trap with any of that stuff. So, yeah. That's what I'm doing this year is learning a little bit more about myself and what I like doing versus what I have to do and try to make some of it a little funner.Corey: This question might come across as passive-aggressive or back-handedly insulting and I swear to you it is not intended to, but how do you avoid what has been a persistent fear of mine and that is becoming a talking head? Whereas you've been doing this as a trainer for long enough that you haven't had a quote-unquote, “Real job,” in roughly, what, 15 years at this point?Bret: Yeah. Yeah.Corey: And so, you've never run Kubernetes in anger, which is, of course, was what we call production environment. That's right, I call it ‘Anger.' My staging environment is called ‘Theory' because it works in theory, but not in production. And there you have it. So, without being hands-on and running these things at scale, it feels like on some level, if I were to, for example, give up the consulting side of my business and just talk about the pure math that I see and what AWS is putting out there, I feel like I'd pretty quickly lose sight of what actual customer pain looks like.Bret: Yeah. That's a real fear, for sure. And that's why I'm kind of—I think I kind of do what you do and maybe wasn't… didn't try to mislead you, but I do consult on a fairly consistent basis and I took a break this year. I've only—you know, then what I'll do is I'll do some advisory work, I usually won't put hands on a cluster, I'm usually advising people on how to put the hands on that cluster kind of thing, or how to build accepting their PRs, doing stuff like that. That's what I've done in the last maybe three or four years.Because you're right. There's two things that are, right? Like, it's hard to stay relevant if you don't actually get your hands dirty, your content ends up I think this naturally becoming very… I don't know, one dimensional, maybe, or two dimensional, where it doesn't, you don't really talk about the best practices because you don't actually have the scars to prove it. And so, I'm always nervous about going long lengths, like, three or four years of time, with zero production work. So, I think I try to fill that with a little bit of advisory, maybe trying to find friends and actually trying to talk with them about their experiences, just so I can make sure I'm understanding what they're dealing with.I also think that that kind of work is what creates my stories. So like, my latest course, it's on GitHub Actions and Argo CD for using automation and GitOps for deployments, basically trying to simplify the deployment lifecycle so that you can just get back to worrying about your app and not about how it's deployed and how it's tested and all that. And that all came out of consulting I did for a couple of firms in 2019 and 2020, and I think right into 2021, that's kind of where I started winding them down. And that created the stories that caused me, you know, sort of the scars of going into production. We were migrating a COTS app into a SaaS app, so we were learning lots of things about their design and having to change infrastructure. And I had so many learnings from that.And one of them was I really liked GitHub Actions. And it worked well for them. And it was very flexible. And it wasn't as friendly and as GUI beautiful as some of the other CI solutions out there, but it was flexible enough and direct—close enough to the developer that it felt powerful in the developers' hands, whereas previous systems that we've all had, like Jenkins always felt like this black box that maybe one or two people knew.And those stories came out of the real advisory or consultancy that I did for those few years. And then I was like, “Okay, I've got stuff. I've learned it. I've done it in the field. I've got the scars. Let me go teach people about it.” And I'm probably going to have to do that again in a few years when I feel like I'm losing touch like you're saying there. That's a—yeah, so I agree. Same problem [laugh].Corey: Crap, I was hoping you had some magic silver bullet—Bret: No. [laugh].Corey: —other than, “No, it still gnaws at you forever and there's no real way to get away for”—great. But, uhh, it keeps things… interesting.Bret: I would love to say that I have that skill, that ability to, like, just talk with you about your customers and, like, transfer all that knowledge so that I can then talk about it, but I don't know. I don't know. It's tough.Corey: Yeah. The dangerous part there is suddenly you stop having lived experience and start just trusting whoever sounds the most confident, which of course, brings us to generative AI.Bret: Ohhh.Corey: Which apparently needs to be brought into every conversation as per, you know, analysts and Amazon leadership, apparently. What's your take on it?Bret: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was earl—I mean, well maybe not early, early. Like, these people that are talking about being early were seven years ago, so definitely wasn't that early.Corey: Yeah. Back when the Hello World was a PhD from Stanford.Bret: Yeah [laugh], yeah. So, I was maybe—my first step in was on the tech side of things with Copilot when it was in beta a little over two years ago. We're talking about GitHub Copilot. That was I think my first one. I was not an OpenAI user for any of their solutions, and was not into the visual—you know, the image AI stuff as we all are now dabbling with.But when it comes to code and YAML and TOML and, you know, the stuff that I deal with every day, I didn't start into it until about two years ago. I think I actually live-streamed my first experiences with it with a friend of mine. And I was just using it for DevOps tasks at the time. It was an early beta, so I was like, kind of invited. And it was filling out YAML for me. It was creating Kubernetes YAML for me.And like we're all learning, you know, it hallucinates, as we say, which is lying. It made stuff up for 50% of the time. And it was—it is way better now. So, I think I actually wrote in my newsletter a couple weeks ago a recent story—or a recent experience because I wanted to take a project in a language that I had not previously written from scratch in but maybe I was just slightly familiar with. So, I picked Go because everything in cloud-native is written in Go and so I've been reading it for years and years and years and maybe making small PRs to various things, but never taken on myself to write it from scratch and just create something, start to finish, for myself.And so, I wanted a real project, not something that was contrived, and it came up that I wanted to create—in my specific scenario, I wanted to take a CSV of all of my students and then take a template certificate, you know, like these certificates of completion or certifications, you know, that you get, and it's a nice little—looks like the digital equivalent of a paper certificate that you would get from maybe a university. And I wanted to create that. So, I wanted to do it in bulk. I wanted to give it a stock image and then give it a list of names and then it would figure out the right place to put all those names and then generate a whole bunch of images that I could send out. And then I can maybe turn this into a web service someday.But I wanted to do this, and I knew, if I just wrote it myself, I'd be horrible at it, I would suck at Go, I'd probably have to watch some videos to remember some of the syntax. I don't know the standard libraries, so I'd have to figure out which libraries I needed and all that stuff. All the dependencies.Corey: You make the same typical newcomer mistakes of not understanding the local idioms and whatnot. Oh, yeah.Bret: Yeah. And so, I'd have to spend some time on Stack Overflow Googling around. I kind of guessed it was going to take me 20 to 40 hours to make. Like, and it was—we're talking really just hundreds of lines of code at the end of the day, but because Go standard library actually is really great, so it was going to be far less code than if I had to do it in NodeJS or something. Anyway, long story short there, it ended up taking three to three-and-a-half hours end to end, including everything I needed, you know, importing a CSV, sucking in a PNG, outputting PNG with all the names on them in the right places in the right font, the right colors, all that stuff.And I did it all through GitHub Copilot Chat, which is their newest Labs beta thing. And it brings the ChatGPT-4 experience into VS Code. I think it's right now only for VS Code, but other editors coming soon. And it was kind of wonderful. It remembered my project as a whole. It wasn't just in the file I was in. There was no copying-pasting back and forth between the web interface of ChatGPT like a lot of people tend to do today where they go into ChatGPT, they ask a question, then they copy out code and they paste it in their editor.Well, there was none of that because since that's built into the editor, it kind of flows naturally into your existing project. You can kind of just click a button and it'll automatically paste in where your cursor is. It does all this convenient stuff. And then it would relook at the code. I would ask it, you know, “What are ten ways to improve this code now that it works?” And you know, “How can I reduce the number of lines in this code?” Or, “How can I make it easier to read?”And I was doing all this stuff while I was creating the project. I haven't had anyone, like, look at it to tell me if it looks good [laugh], which I hear you had that experience. But it works, it solved my problem, and I did it in a half a day with no prep time. And it's all in ChatGPT's history. So, when I open up VS Code now, I open that project up and get it, it recognizes that oh, this is the project that you've asked all these previous questions on, and it reloads all those questions, allowing me to basically start the conversation off again with my AI friend at the same place I left off.And I think that experience basically proved to me that what everybody else is telling us, right, that yes, this is definitely the future. I don't see myself ever writing code again without an AI partner. I don't know why I ever would write it without the AI partner at least to help me, quicken my learning, and solve some of the prompts. I mean, it was spitting out code that wasn't perfect. It would actually—[unintelligible 00:23:53] sometimes fail.And then I would tell it, “Here's the error you just caused. What do I do with that?” And it would help me walk through the solution, it would fix it, it would recommend changes. So, it's definitely not something that will avoid you knowing how to program or make someone who's not a programmer suddenly write a perfect program, but man, it really—I mean, it took basically what I would consider to be a novice in that language—not a novice at programming, but a novice at that language—and spit out a productive program in less than a day. So, that's huge, I think.[midroll 00:24:27]Corey: What I think is a necessary prerequisite is a domain expertise in order to figure out what is accurate versus what is completely wrong, but sounds competent. And I've been racing a bunch of the different large-language models against each other in a variety of things like this. One of the challenges I'll give them is to query the AWS pricing API—which motto is, “Not every war crime happens in faraway places”—and then spit out things like the Managed Nat Gateway hourly cost table, sorted from most to least expensive by region. And some things are great at it and other things really struggle with it. And the first time I, just on a lark, went down that path, it saved me an easy three hours from writing that thing by hand. It was effectively an API interface, whereas now the most common programming language I think we're going to see on the rise is English.Bret: Yeah, good point. I've heard some theories, right? Like maybe the output language doesn't matter. You just tell it, “Oh, don't do that in Java, do it in PHP.” Whatever, or, “Convert this Java to PHP,” something like that.I haven't experimented with a lot of that stuff yet, but I think that having spent this time watching a lot of other videos, right, you know, watching [Fireship 00:25:37], and a lot of other people talking about LLMs on the internet, seeing the happy-face stuff happen. And it's just, I don't know where we're going to be in five or ten years. I am definitely not a good prediction, like a futurist. And I'm trying to imagine what the daily experience is going to be, but my assumption is, every tool we're using is going to have some sort of chat AI assistant in it. I mean, this is kind of the future that, like, none of the movies predicted.[laugh]. We were talking about this the other day with a friend of mine. We were talking about it over dinner, some developer friends. And we were just talking about, like, this would be too boring for a movie, like, we all want the—you know, we think of the movies where there's the three laws of robotics and all these things. And these are in no way sentient.I'm not intimidated or scared by them. I think the EU is definitely going to do the right thing here and we're going to have to follow suit eventually, where we rank where you can use AI and, like, there's these levels, and maybe just helping you with a program is a low-level, there's very few restrictions, in other words, by the government, but if you're talking about in cars or in medical or you know, in anything like that, that's the highest level and the highest restrictions and all that. I could definitely see that's the safety. Obviously, we'll probably do it too slow and too late and there'll be some bad uses in the meantime, but I think we're there. I mean, like, if you're not using it today—if you're listening to this, and you're not using AI yet in your day-to-day as someone related to the IT career, it's going to be everywhere and I don't think it's going to be, like, one tool. The tools on the CLI to me are kind of weird right now. Like, they certainly can help you write command lines, but it just doesn't flow right for me. I don't know if you've tried that.Corey: Yeah. I ha—I've dabbled lightly, but again, I've been a Unix admin for the better part of 20 years and I'm used to a world in which you type exactly what you mean or you suffer the consequences. So, having a robot trying to outguess me of what it thinks I'm trying to do, if it works correctly, it looks like a really smart tab complete. If it guesses wrong, it's incredibly frustrating. The risk/reward is not there in the same way.Bret: Right.Corey: So, for me at least, it's more frustration than anything. I've seen significant use cases across the business world where this would have been invaluable back when I was younger, where it's, “Great, here's a one-line email I'm about to send to someone, and people are going to call me brusque or difficult for it. Great. Turn this into a business email.” And then on the other side, like, “This is a five-paragraph email. What does he actually want?” It'll turn it back into one line. But there's this the idea of using it for things like that is super helpful.Bret: Yeah. Robots talking to robots? Is that what you're saying? Yeah.Corey: Well, partially, yes. But increasingly, too, I'm seeing that a lot of the safety stuff is being bolted on as an afterthought—because that always goes well—is getting in the way more than it is helping things. Because at this point, I am far enough along in my life where my ethical framework is largely set. I am not going to have radical changes in my worldview, no matter how much a robot [unintelligible 00:28:29] me.So, snark and sarcasm are my first languages and that is something that increasingly they're leery about, like, oh, sarcasm can hurt people's feelings. “Well, no kidding, professor, you don't say.” As John Scalzi says, “The failure mode of clever is ‘asshole.'” But I figured out how to walk that line, so don't you worry your pretty little robot head about that. Leave that to me. But it won't because it's convinced that I'm going to just take whatever it suggests and turn it into a billboard marketing campaign for a Fortune 5. There are several more approval steps in there.Bret: There. Yeah, yeah. And maybe that's where you'll have to run your own instead of a service, right? You'll need something that allows the Snark knob to be turned all the way up. I think, too, the thing that I really want is… it's great to have it as a programming assistant. It's great and notion to help me, you know, think out, you know, sort of whiteboard some things, right, or sketch stuff out in terms of, “Give me the top ten things to do with this,” and it's great for ideas and stuff like that.But what I really, really want is for it to remove a lot of the drudgery of day-to-day toil that we still haven't, in tech, figured out a way—for example, I'm going to need a new repo. I know what I need to go in it, I know which organization it needs to go in, I know what types of files need to go in there, and I know the general purpose of the repo. Even the skilled person is going to take at least 20 minutes or more to set all that up. And I would really just rather take an AI on my local computer and say, “I would like three new repos: a front-end back-end, and a Kubernetes YAML repo. And I would like this one to be Rust, and I would like this one to be NodeJS or whatever, and I would like this other repo to have all the pieces in Kubernetes. And I would like Docker files in each repo plus GitHub Actions for linting.”Like, I could just spill out, you know, all these things: the editor.config file, the Git ignore, the Docker ignore, think about, like, the dozen files that every repo has to have now. And I just want that generated by an AI that knows my own repos, knows my preferences, and it's more—because we all have, a lot of us that are really, really organized and I'm not one of those, we have maybe a template repo or we have templates that are created by a consolidated group of DevOps guild members or something in our organization that creates standards and reusable workflows and template files and template repos. And I think a lot of that's going to go—that boilerplate will sort of, if we get a smart enough LLM that's very user and organization-specific, I would love to be able to just tell Siri or whatever on my computer, “This is the thing I want to be created and it's boilerplate stuff.” And it then generates all that.And then I jump into my code creator or my notion drafting of words. And that's—like, I hop off from there. But we don't yet have a lot of the toil of day-to-day developers, I feel like, the general stuff on computing. We don't really have—maybe I don't think that's a general AI. I don't think we're… I don't think that needs to be like a general intelligence. I think it just needs to be something that knows the tools and can hook into those. Maybe it asks for my fingerprint on occasion, just for security sake [laugh] so it doesn't deploy all the things to AWS. But.Corey: Yeah. Like, I've been trying to be subversive with a lot of these things. Like, it's always fun to ask the challenging questions, like, “My boss has been complaining to me about my performance and I'm salty about it. Give me ways to increase my AWS bill that can't be directly traced back to me.” And it's like, oh, that's not how to resolve workplace differences.Like, okay. Good on, you found that at least, but cool, give me the dirt. I get asked in isolation of, “Yeah, how can I increase my AWS bill?” And its answer is, “There is no good reason to ever do that.” Mmm, there are exceptions on this and that's not really what I asked. It's, on some level, that tries to out-human you and gets it hilariously wrong.Bret: Yeah, there's definitely, I think—it wasn't me that said this, but in the state we're in right now, there is this dangerous point of using any of these LLMs where, if you're asking it questions and you don't know anything about that thing you're asking about, you don't know what's false, you don't know what's right, and you're going to get in trouble pretty quickly. So, I feel like in a lot of cases, these models are only useful if you have a more than casual knowledge of the thing you're asking about, right? Because, like, you can—like, you've probably tried to experiment. If you're asking about AWS stuff, I'm just going to imagine that it's going to make some of those service names up and it's going to create things that don't exist or that you can't do, and you're going to have to figure out what works and what doesn't.And what do you do, right? Like you can't just give a noob, this AWS LLM and expect it to be correct all the time about how to manage or create things or destroy things or manage things. So, maybe in five years. Maybe that will be the thing. You literally hire someone who has a computing degree out of a university somewhere and then they can suddenly manage AWS because the robot is correct 99.99% of the time. We're just—I keep getting told that that's years and years away and we don't know how to stop the hallucinations, so we're all stuck with it.Corey: That is the failure mode that is disappointing. We're never going to stuff that genie back in the bottle. Like, that is—technology does not work that way. So, now that it's here, we need to find a way to live with it. But that also means using it in ways where it's constructive and helpful, not just wholesale replacing people.What does worry me about a lot of the use it to build an app, when I wound up showing this to some of my engineering friends, their immediate response universally, was, “Well, yeah, that's great for, like, the easy, trivial stuff like querying a bad API, but for any of this other stuff, you still need senior engineers.” So, their defensiveness was the reaction, and I get that. But also, where do you think senior engineers come from? It's solving a bunch of stuff like this. You didn't all spring, fully formed, from the forehead of some God. Like, you started off as junior and working on small trivial problems, like this one, to build a skill set and realize what works well, what doesn't, then life goes on.Bret: Yeah. In a way—I mean, you and I have been around long enough that in a way, the LLMs don't really change anything in terms of who's hireable, how many people you need in your team, or what types of people you need your team. I feel like, just like the cloud allowed us to have less people to do roughly the same thing as we all did in own data centers, I feel like to a large extent, these AIs are just going to do the same thing. It's not fundamentally changing the game for most people to allow a university graduate to become a senior engineer overnight, or the fact that you don't need, you know, the idea that you don't maybe need senior engineers anymore and you can operate at AWS at scale, multi-region setup with some person with a year experience. I don't think any of those things are true in the near term.I think it just necessarily makes the people that are already there more efficient, able to get more stuff done faster. And we've been dealing with that for 30, 40, 50 years, like, that's exactly—I have this slideshow that I keep, I've been using it for a decade and it hasn't really changed. And I got in in the mid-'90s when we were changing from single large computers to distributed computing when the PC took out—took on. I mean, like, I was doing miniframes, and, you know, IBMs and HP Unixes. And that's where I jumped in.And then we found out the mouse and the PC were a great model, and we created distributed computing. That changed the game, allowed us, so many of us to get in that weren't mainframe experts and didn't know COBOL and a lot of us were able to get in and Windows or Microsoft made a great decision of saying, “We're going to make the server operating system look and act exactly like the client operating system.” And then suddenly, all of us PC enthusiasts were now server admins. So, there's this big shift in the '90s. We got a huge amount of server admins.And then virtualization showed up, you know, five years later, and suddenly, we were able to do so much more with the same number of people in a data center and with a bunch of servers. And I watched my team in a big government organization was running 18 people. I had three hardware guys in the data center. That went to one in a matter of years because we were able to virtualize so much we needed physical servers less often, we needed less physical data center server admins, we needed more people to run the software. So, we shifted that team down and then we scaled up software development and people that knew more about actually managing and running software.So, this is, like, I feel like the shifts are happening, then we had the cloud and then we had containerization. It doesn't really change it at a vast scale. And I think sometimes people are a little bit too worried about the LLMs as if they're somehow going to make tech workers obsolete. And I just think, no, we're just going to be managing the different things. We're going to—someone else said the great quote, and I'll end with this, you know, “It's not the LLM that's going to replace you. It's the person who knows the LLMs that's going to replace you.”And that's the same thing you could have said ten years ago for, “It's not the cloud that's going to replace you. It's someone who knows how to manage the cloud that's going to replace you.” [laugh]. So, you could swap that word out for—Corey: A line I heard, must have been 30 years ago now is, “Think. It's the only thing keeping a computer from taking your job.”Bret: Yeah [laugh], and these things don't think so. We haven't figured that one out yet.Corey: Yeah. Some would say that some people's coworkers don't either, but that's just uncharitable.Bret: That's me without coffee [laugh].Corey: [laugh]. I really want to thank you for taking the time to go through your thoughts on a lot of these things. If people want to learn more, where's the best place for them to find you?Bret: bretfisher.com, or just search Bret Fisher. You'll find all my stuff, hopefully, if I know how to use the internet, B-R-E-T F-I-S-H-E-R. And yeah, you'll find a YouTube channel, on Twitter, I hang out there every day, and on my website.Corey: And we will, of course, put links to that in the [show notes 00:38:22]. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today. I really appreciate it.Bret: Yeah. Thanks, Corey. See you soon.Corey: Bret Fisher, DevOps dude and cloud-native trainer.

What stuck with me from this chat with Nana is that curiosity and hunger for learning & sharing will bring you further than anything else. In her case, learning Kubernetes and AWS and sharing that knowledge eventually lead to becoming Docker Captain, AWS Hero & CNCF Ambassador. Those were never goals, but always a result of focussing on efforts. In doing so she managed to grow a YouTube community of 700k subs. Enjoy!

Bret is joined by Brian Christner, a Docker Captain and Chief, Online Gaming for Grand Casino Baden (jackpots.ch), who returns to the show to discuss his top recommended skills for improving your DevOps expertise.Both Bret and Brian have been consultants on and off throughout their careers and also in positions where they needed to hire other engineers - often other DevOps engineers. They share their perspectives on the different types of DevOps roles and the various jobs they need to fill.In this episode, we thought it would be helpful to bring our experience on DevOps jobs and look at the most essential and in-demand skills throughout the industry.Streamed live on YouTube on October 6, 2022.Unedited live recording of this show on YouTube (Ep #187)★Topics★DevOps Foundations CourseEngineering Management Training from Laura TachoAwesome Docker resourcesAwesome Everything Lists on GitHubKubernetes This Month with Nigel PoultonAWS Cloud TrainingContainer Automation Examples by BretDocker Observability by Brain★Brian Christner★Brian on TwitterBrian on LinkedInBrian's Courses Promo Code TRAEFIK50 for 50% offBrian's GitHub Brian's Blog★Join my Community★Best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes coursesChat with us and fellow students on our Discord Server DevOps FansHomepage bretfisher.com ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

So, yeah - that's not great. And then there's a war going on 2 countries down the road, which adds at least some economic uncertainties and concerns about sanctions, people willing to travel and spend money on events etc. Then there is all of the general annoyances around international travel - the organizers are being very careful and "wanting to do everything to avoid international travel for anyone when running an event" side of things when it comes to Covid.So, a lot of energy would have to be spent on making the event safe enough from our own point of view… so best to wait until hopefully Summer 2023More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week 5/17/22 - Blog - Into the Box - Announcing Speakers for Into the Box 2022 - Round 1We are excited to announce the first set of speakers and sessions.

Whenever I have an issue with some CFML that needs to be demonstrated to someone else; eg: I'm asking for help on Slack or Stack Overflow, or demonstrating an answer to someone else's question: I create a portable / repeatable repro case on trycf.com. I use it to demonstrate bugs and behavioural differences to Adobe or Lucee when both vendors don't give the same result from the same code. I use it every day.I believe trycf.com is the handiest resource available to CFML developers.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/if-yer-cfml-dev-you-should-consider.html 5/16/22 - Blog - Peter Amiri - CFWheels - CFWheels Announces a Bug BountyWe are happy to launch a new program that we hope will lead to a more stable framework for all of us.

I recently needed to alert a Slack channel whenever an application was deployed, and found that using Eric Peterson's module Hyper along with Slack's Incoming Webhooks did the trick nicely.I'll share how to do this with a FW/1 application - just know that with ColdBox it would be even easier, and the general approach could even be modified to work without a framework.https://blog.mattclemente.com/2022/05/12/cfml-slack-incoming-webhook-hyper/ 5/12/22 - Blog - Gavin Pickin - Ortus Solutions - Tips, Tricks and Tools to write DRYer more Reusable Code in ColdFusionIn the last blog post, we learned many reasons why we wanted DRYer more reusable code in ColdFusion.

Another exercise in TDDI have to admit I'm not sure where I'm going with this one yet. I dunno how to implement what I'm needing to do, but I'm gonna start with a test and see where I go from there.Context: I've been messing around with this TinyTestFramework thing for a bit… it's intended to be a test framework one can run in trycf.com, so I need to squeeze it all into one include file, and at the same time make it not seem too rubbish in the coding dept. The current state of affairs is here: tinyTestFramework.cfm, and its tests: testTinyTestFramework.cfm. Runnable here: on trycf.comhttps://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-adding-beforeeach-handlers-to-my.html 5/12/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: for the sake of completeness, here's the afterEach treatmentThis immediately follows on from "CFML: Adding beforeEach handlers to my TinyTestFramework. Another exercise in TDD".Having done the beforeEach implementation for my TinyTestFramework, I reckoned afterEach would be super easy: barely an inconvenience. And indeed it was. Took me about 15min, given most of the logic is the same as for beforeEach.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-for-sake-of-completeness-heres.html 5/13/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: adding aroundEach to TinyTestFramework was way easier than I expectedI'm still pottering around with my TinyTestFramework. Last night I added beforeEach and afterEach handlers, but then thought about how the hell I could easily implement aroundEach support, and I could only see about 50% of it, so I decided to sleep on it.After a night's sleep I spent about 30min before work doing a quick spike (read: no tests, just "will this even work?"), and surprisingly it did work. First time. Well except for a coupla typos, but I nailed the logic first time. I'm sorta halfway chuffed by this, sorta halfway worried that even though what I decided would probably work - and it did - I haven't quite got my head around how it works, or even quite what it's doing. So let's blog about that.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2022/05/cfml-adding-aroundeach-to.html 5/15/22 - Blog - Adam Cameron - CFML: fixing a coupla bugs in my recent work on TinyTestFrameworkLast week I did some more work on my TinyTestFramework:CFML: for the sake of completeness, here's the afterEach treatmentCFML: adding aroundEach to TinyTestFramework was way easier than I expectedOn Saturday, I found a bug in each of those.

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/blog/commandbox-551-released/ICYMI - CommandBox 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 ColdFusion 2021 and 2018 May Security UpdatesWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions: ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 4 ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 14 Note: The ColdFusion Add-Ons and lockdown installers are also refreshed.

So, yeah - that's not great. And then there's a war going on 2 countries down the road, which adds at least some economic uncertainties and concerns about sanctions, people willing to travel and spend money on events etc. Then there is all of the general annoyances around international travel - the organizers are being very careful and "wanting to do everything to avoid international travel for anyone when running an event" side of things when it comes to Covid.So, a lot of energy would have to be spent on making the event safe enough from our own point of view… so best to wait until hopefully Summer 2023More conferencesNeed more conferences, this site has a huge list of conferences for almost any language/community.https://confs.tech/Blogs, Tweets, and Videos of the Week5/10/22 Tweet - Charlie Arehart - Shame on you, Adobe!Shame on you, Adobe!

Now, it could be argued that any programming language that costs more than $0 is “expensive”, as generally languages are free to use.But, of course, Adobe ColdFusion isn't “just” a language. It is an entire ecosystem of functionality, including an incredibly useful administrator, performance monitoring toolkit and (if you use Enterprise), the API Manager.Many folks have covered the fantastic features of the API Manager, but what is talked about less is what someone might use instead of API Manager. I'm going to look at a few common 3rd party tools and compare the costs.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/05/comparing-adobe-coldfusion-enterprise-api-manager-to-3rd-party-options/5/5/22 Blog - James Moberg - Identifying Random Uploaded Form FilesThe benefit to this approach is that it returns a single struct containing keys that match all form "file" field names with extra information identifying the original filename, type, size and temporary file path.

This issue appears to only affect Windows. If you are getting any of the error messages here, the TL; DR; is simply to update to CommandBox 5.5.1, where we have a workaround already in place.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/java-regression-and-undertow/92285/6/22 Blog - Brad Wood - Lucee 5.3.9 losing sessions over SSLIf you've started using Lucee 5.3.9 for your CommandBox servers (which is the new default in CommandBox 5.5) and you have SSL enabled, you may have noticed your session scope getting lost in your application as well as the Lucee administrator.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/lucee-5-3-9-losing-sessions-over-ssl/92295/6/22 Blog - Brad Wood - CommandBox 5.5 and injecting models into Task RunnersCommandBox 5.5 has a lot of new features, but there are just as many bug fixes and improvements. Sometimes these tickets unintentionally change some internal behavior you may have been depending on, but was never guaranteed.One such change that caught a couple people out was that the underlying “web root” that Lucee uses under the covers changed from the folder box.exe was started in to the root of your drive (C:/ or / in *nix). This was done for a handful of reasons, one of which being a super annoying Lucee bug where it's literally impossible to create a CF mapping that points to / on Linux.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/commandbox-5-5-and-injecting-models-into-task-runners/9230https://xkcd.com/1172/CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 76 ColdFusion positions from 44 companies across 37 locations in 5 Countries.1 new job listedFull-Time - Senior Application Developer UK at Remote - United Kingdom - Work with Adam CameronMay 03https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/Sr-AppDeveloper-RemoteUK/11463 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.

This module listens to the beforeInstanceAutowire interception point in WireBox and looks for any propery injections whose DSL matches the name of a CFC in the shell's working directory. This allows a Task Runner to inject a CFC in the working directory without creating a mapping for it.https://forgebox.io/view/commandbox-task-local-model-resolverVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekVScode CounterVS Code extension: counts blank lines, comment lines, and physical lines of source code in many programming languages.This extension uses other language extensions to determine the line of code.

Ortus Solutions provides content, tools, trainings, conferences, support and development, but we all thrive when the ColdFusion community thrives, and that means more events, bigger events, more opportunities for speakers and attendees, so moving our conference was the smart move, for everyone.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/new-dates-for-into-the-box-2022-and-why-we-changed-them/ Since we moved dates for ITB 2022 - We extended the Call for Speaker Deadline - April 30, 2022!!!Since we had to make changes to the schedule, we wanted to make sure every community member had the opportunity to submit their proposal.Into the Box will be live in Houston in September 2022.We have 20+ speakers submit talks, with over 50 topics, so it will be hard to make a decision.Although the deadline passed, the form hasn't be disabled just yet, so if you want to sneak one in, do it now, sssssh secret squirrel.https://forms.gle/HR1vQf2T5rs8yCZo9https://intothebox.orgAdobe Announced Adobe Developer Week 2022July 18-22, 2022Online - Virtual - FreeThe Adobe ColdFusion Developer Week is back - bigger and better than ever!

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.

This is a massive upgrade under the hood, but it shouldn't require any API changes if you are using just Elixir methods. (If you are customizing Webpack directly, you may need to make additional changes.) Please check out the Migration Guide for help upgrading.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-elixir-v4-released/ 5/2/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - For Consideration: An ArrayFrom() Function In ColdFusionIn my previous post, I took a look at the Array.sublist() method in ColdFusion; and, demonstrated that in order to use it safely you have to create a copy of the .sublist() result. 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. And when it all finally went live, I was dropping party parrot and rocket ship emojis all over the place! But, when the dust settled, the post-deployment depression set in. As it always does.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4256-r-o-p-e-and-battling-post-deployment-depression.htm 4/27/22 - Blog - Gavin Pickin - Ortus Solutions - New Dates for Into the Box 2022 and Why we changed themOrtus Solutions is happy to announce we have new finalized dates for Into the Box 2022 and the venue.

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.

Into the Box 2022 will be hosted in Houston Texas, Tuesday September 6th through Thursday September 8th, 2022. The conference will be at a new venue, the Houston CityPlace Marriott at Springwoods Village.Adobe semi officially announced their dates (still un-official at the time of writing this post) and they were close, back to back weeks at the end of September/October. We felt like the ColdFusion community deserves more in person conferences, ColdFusion Community members need the opportunity to speak and or attend more in person coldfusion conferences. If we left the conferences back to back with only a travel day/weekend in between, it would have been hard for many if not most coldfusion community members to attend both.By changing the dates, it might still be hard or impossible for a lot of speakers, sponsors, and community members, but now those percentages have increased, and both conferences will be more successful, and that will help the community be more successful... and at the end of the day, we all win if ColdFusion wins.Since we moved dates for ITB 2022 - We're extending the Call for Speaker Deadline - April 30, 2022Since we had to make changes to the schedule, we wanted to make sure every community member had the opportunity to submit their proposal.Into the Box will be live in Houston in September 2022.https://forms.gle/HR1vQf2T5rs8yCZo9https://intothebox.orgAdobe Announced Adobe Developer Week 2022July 18-22, 2022Online - Virtual - FreeThe Adobe ColdFusion Developer Week is back - bigger and better than ever!

While the simplest question may seem to be "how do I do such an update, effectively" (and it really can be quite simple), there's a good bit more to updating the Java (aka jvm, jdk, jre) which underlies your CFML engine.In this session, veteran troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will share his experience helping people deal with this topic for many years, including:Considering, planning the jvm update (what jvm do you have, what can you update to, why should you?)Performing the jvm update (where to get it, how to install it, how to configure CF to use it)Avoiding various potential gotchas when updating the JVMHow to be made aware of new JVM versionsWhether you use CF or Lucee, deployed traditionally or via Commandbox (or even containers), most of the discussion will apply to you.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/285508327/?response=3Ortus Webinar - April - cbSecurity: Passwords, Tokens, and JWTs with Eric PetersonApril 29th 202211:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)Learn how to integrate cbSecurity into your application whether you are using passwords, API tokens, JWTs, or a combination of all three!More Webinars: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinars Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group - Using ColdFusion ORMs with Nick KwiatkowskiFriday, April 29, 20224:00 PM to 5:00 PM PDTThe ColdFusion language introduced the concept of ORM (Object Relation Mappings) to allow developers to be able to do database work without having to write database-dependent SQL.Nick Kwiatkowski is an adjunct professor at Michigan State University, a member of the Mid-Michigan CFUG, and Apache Foundation Member.

Yes, I've wrestled with some irrational guilt over returning Query objects from my DAL (Data Access Layer); but, on balance, I love the query object's simplicity and power; and, returning it from the DAL makes life easy. Lately, however, I've had to start consuming some remote APIs (microservices). And, when it comes to making HTTP calls, the separation of concerns is less clear in my head - it seems that so much more can go wrong when consuming a remote API.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4254-considering-the-separation-of-concerns-when-invoking-a-remote-api-in-coldfusion.htmBen is essentially setting up a gateway to abstract getting the data so he can standardize what the service is receiving, so it shouldn't matter where the data is coming from.April 22, 2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - ArraySlice() Has An Exponential Performance Overhead In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201The other day, I tweeted about Lucee CFML struggling with a massive array. I had created a data-processing algorithm that was taking an array of user-generated data and splitting it up into chunks of 100 so that I could then gather some aggregates on that data in the database. Everything was running fine until I hit a user that had 2.1 million entries in this array. This was an unexpected volume of data, and it crushed the CFML server. 2.1M is a lot of data to my "human brain"; but, it's not a lot of data for a computer. As such, I started to investigate the root performance bottleneck; and, I discovered that the arraySlice() function in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201 has a performance overhead that appears to increase exponentially with the size of the array.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4253-arrayslice-has-an-exponential-performance-overhead-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htm @bdw429s just left a comment on the blog-post about .subList() as well.

Yesterday, Adam Cameron left a comment on that post about using the sgn() function, in ColdFusion, to fix the issue. To be honest, I don't believe I even knew that the sgn() function existed. So, in order to help fill in my lacking mental model, I wanted to quickly look at what the sgn() function does.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4247-using-sgn-to-clamp-values-in-array-sorting-operations-in-coldfusion.htm Tweet - James Moberg - Unsupported Tags in Script for ACF2021Ugh...

But, there's more to a method signature, such as the mode in which it can be invoked. Most methods can only be invoked as a member method. However, in some cases, an Object's API allows for methods to be detached and passed-around as "naked functions". In ColdFusion, we can use Closures / Lambdas to bind a Function reference to a ColdFusion Component instance such that the "member method" can be used - and work correctly - as a "naked function".https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4240-using-closures-to-bind-naked-functions-to-components-in-coldfusion.htm04/03/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding FusionReactor Sub-Transaction Breakdowns To My ColdFusion BlogA couple of years ago, I wrote about how we're using the FusionReactor API (FRAPI) to instrument our Lucee CFML apps at work. And, now that I have FusionReactor installed on my ColdFusion 2021 blog, I've been translating some of that logic over to this site. I recently demonstrated that FusionReactor gave me critical insights into my SQL queries and my in-memory caching techniques. And, this morning, I added some "Tracked Transactions" to help me understand how long certain portions of my ColdFusion request was taking to execute.Especially useful since FusionReactor doesn't provide CFC method nameshttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4242-adding-fusionreactor-sub-transaction-breakdowns-to-my-coldfusion-blog.htmUseful link: https://forgebox.io/view/FRAPISDK04/04/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Moving My Short-Code Redirects To NetlifyFor years, I've had my own "short code" URL, bjam.in. There's no meaningful reason for me to have it - only, that I was raised in an era when short codes were all the rage. And, an era in which Twitter actually counted embedded URLs as part of the overall message length (something that they no longer do). But, one thing that's always bothered me about bjam.in is that it didn't have an SSL Certificate. I never wanted to pay for one since the site does nothing but redirect to www.bennadel.com, which does have an SSL Certificate. To remedy this, I've moved my bjam.in logic over to Netlify which automatically provisions SSL Certificates using Let's Encrypt.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4243-moving-my-short-code-redirects-to-netlify.htm04/05/2022 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding CreateTimeSpan() To Date/Time Values In ColdFusionIn ColdFusion, it's trivial to add a given date-part, such an "hour" or a "day", to an existing date - there are built-in functions and member-methods for this task. But, it's a little harder to mix "Dates" with "Time Spans". Doing so, often leads to a fractional numeric value. This fractional value is a "numeric date". There are a number of ways to cast between "numeric dates" and "dates"; but, I wanted to look at how we can avoid casting by thinking about what a "time span" actually is; and, how we can efficiently add and remove time spans to and from dates in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4244-adding-createtimespan-to-date-time-values-in-coldfusion.htm04/03/2022 - Tweet - @cfhawaiiWe are looking for a speaker on #coldFusion ORM DM me if interestedhttps://twitter.com/cfhawaii/status/151080504602325401804/01/2022 - Tweet - @ortussolutionsThe Ortus USA Team has been working hard at this year's retreat.

I had to do this the other day because I was running into errors when attempting to execute a very large SQL statement in MySQL. To get around the error, I ended up splitting the query logic into chunks, executing the chunks individually, and then reducing the chunk results down to a single value. This felt like a rather elegant solution to a somewhat "dirty problem"; so, I thought it might be worth sharing the approach in ColdFusion (I was writing it in Lucee CFML 5.3.8, but the demo is authored in Adobe ColdFusion 2021).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4238-avoiding-mysql-max-allowed-packet-errors-by-splitting-up-large-aggregation-queries-in-coldfusion.htm 3/28/22 - Forum - Matthew Clemente - Using asyncManager in place of cfthreadI'm looking to use the async Manager in a place where I'd typically use cfthread, but I'm unsure of the correct syntax.Here's the situation - I'm adding a record, and then once it's added I've got three operations that need to take place, but they shouldn't be blocking and I don't need data back from them. In pseudocode, it would look something like this: …https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/using-asyncmanager-in-place-of-cfthread/9170 3/27/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Splitting An Array Into Groups In ColdFusion 2021The other day, I was dealing with a long list of IDs that I needed to use in a SQL query. In fact, the list was so long that the generated SQL statement was exceeding the max packet size property of the MySQL server. As such, I had to split the list of IDs into groups and perform the SQL query in chucks. I was surprised to see that our Utilities.cfc at work didn't already have a user defined function (UDF) for this. As such, I wrote a function that splits an array into groups of a given max-length in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4237-splitting-an-array-into-groups-in-coldfusion-2021.htm 3/26/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Updating OWASP AntiSamy From 1.5.7 To 1.6.5 In ColdFusion 2021A few years ago, I started using the OWASP AntiSamy 1.5.7 project to validate Markdown comments being processed with Flexmark. I'm trying to be better about keeping vendor libraries up-to-date (in order to keep them more secure). So, this morning, I updated OWASP AntiSamy to version 1.6.5 on my ColdFusion 2021 blog. I ran into a few hurdles doing this, so I thought I would just share the errors in case anyone needs some Google-love.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4236-updating-owasp-antisamy-from-1-5-7-to-1-6-5-in-coldfusion-2021.htm 3/25/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Considering A Numeric Range / Sequence Data Structure In ColdFusionI am not sure if I would ever need something like this in a production application, but when I'm toying around with ideas in ColdFusion, it's not uncommon for me to want to iterate over a sequence of numbers. I know that other languages have the concept of a first class "Range" or "Sequence" structure. And, it seems like something that might be of some value in ColdFusion as well. As such, I wanted to try implementing a numeric range / sequence data structure in Lucee CFMLhttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4235-considering-a-numeric-range-sequence-data-structure-in-coldfusion.htm 3/24/22 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - Migrating From ColdSpring to WireBoxIf you have an application that leveraged ColdSpring for your dependency injection, you can easily port it to WireBox. The first step is converting the ColdSpring XML file to a WireBox Binder. This will translate 1-1 the bean configurations to WireBox configurations. After that, it's a matter of testing your objects and switching the references to the ColdSpring bean factory to application.wirebox.getInstance( "BeanName" ).After that, you can decide if you want to keep the object configurations as is, or you can start refactoring them by using our conventions instead of configuration approach. Especially if you love annotations in your code.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/migrating-from-coldspring-to-wirebox 3/23/22 - Forum - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - How to create instances of CFCs in a CommandBox Task RunnerSomeone asked me today why they couldn't run the following code inside of a Task Runner without getting an error that the CFC couldn't be found:new lib.providers.s3();They wanted to know how to create the CFC.

It has been a truly tremendous ride, filled with lots of joy, challenges, frustrations and satisfaction that ColdBox is powering applications from companies all over the world. We started as the very first conventions over configuration MVC framework. It has become the most widely used ColdFusion (CFML) framework and the standard for developing modern web applications in ColdFusion (CFML). With tons of products, modules and frameworks that have stemmed from this initial project. ColdBox HMVC has truly been a catalyst at Ortus!We are committed to open source and to the further development of modern tooling for the CFML language. We are not even close to being done yet. We have tons of new releases, tools and more coming this 2022+ that will richely empower ColdFusion (CFML) developers. We are as modern and even more than many of our competitors in other languages. We are so looking forward for the next 15 years!https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-15-year-anniversary-video3/16/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - compare() And compareNoCase() Can Accept NULL ValuesAs the ColdFusion language continues to add new operators and new functionality, we have to make sure that we continue to evolve our understand of the runtime behaviors so that we can reduce syntactic noise and make our code more expressive. The steps on this journey are not always intuitive. It requires trial-and-error and whole lot of "I wonder if this will break?" experiments. Such is the way that I discovered that the compare() and compareNoCase() built-in functions can accept Null values as arguments in both Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4229-compare-and-comparenocase-can-accept-null-values-in-coldfusion.htm3/17/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Fundamental Differences In Elvis Operator Between Adobe ColdFusion And Lucee CFMLAt work, we use Lucee CFML; but, on my blog, I use Adobe ColdFusion. I enjoy having my feet in both camps because it forces me to have a more robust mental model of each language - seeing what is and is not the same. And, for the most part, things line up well. But, this morning I stumbled upon Charlie Cochran's post on breaking changes in the Elvis operator in Adobe ColdFusion (ACF) which gave me pause. I panicked that I might be introducing subtle bugs into my applications. But, since he was talking about ACF, and I use Lucee CFML at work, I wanted to quickly test the two engines. And, oh chickens, they are very different!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4231-fundamental-differences-in-elvis-operator-between-adobe-coldfusion-and-lucee-cfml.htm3/19/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Creating A Health Probe Using Netlify Cron Functions, Postmark, And ColdFusionA few weekends ago, shortly after upgrading my database to MySQL 8.0.28, my blog went offline for about 8-hours. I believe the issue was related to a bug in how ColdFusion caches per-application datasources. After several days of trial-and-error, I think I finally figured out how to safely create a per-application datasource while working around the bug. And, once the fires were all put out, I started to think about that 8-hour offline window; and, how I might operationalize the monitoring of my site. I had recently heard that Netlify released cron / scheduled functions. So, I wanted to see if I could create a health probe for my ColdFusion site using Netlify scheduled functions and the Postmark SMTP service.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4232-creating-a-health-probe-using-netlify-cron-functions-postmark-and-coldfusion.htm3/21/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Playing With The MySQL 8 Document Store X DevAPI In Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201After my blog was upgraded from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0.28, I read through the MySQL 8 release notes to see what new features I would have at my disposal. I already looked at using LATERAL derived tables and Common Table Expressions (CTE). And now, I want to look briefly at something that was called "Document Store" - MySQL's document-oriented answer to the NoSQL (Not-Only SQL) band of database technologies. I found almost no examples of this on the web. So, what follows is just my trial-and-error experiment with MySQL 8's Document Store and its new X DevAPI in Lucee CFML 5.3.8.201.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4233-playing-with-the-mysql-8-document-store-x-devapi-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-8-201.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 57 ColdFusion positions from 34 companies across 32 locations in 5 Countries.1 new job listedFull-Time - Senior Web Application Developer Coldfusion at Reston, VAMar 21https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Web-Application-Developer-Coldfusion-at-Reston-VA/11446Other Job LinksOrtus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers ForgeBox Module of the WeekPDFBox by Matthew ClementeUtilize the PDFBox Java library to manipulate PDFs with CFML.CFML's built-in methods have their place - if they work for you, keep using them.PDFBox's performance is generally faster than CFML's built-in functions, particularly for extracting text. It provides more fine-grained control and insight into the underlying structures and data that make up a PDF (forms, links, javascript, metadata, etc.). Some PDF functionality is restricted to certain ColdFusion versions and engines, while PDFBox functions the same across engines and versions, providing flexibility in a codebase.https://forgebox.io/view/pdfboxcfcVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekTestBox - vscode-testboxOrtus Solutions - 2221 installsIncludes: Jump to Spec Code Skeleton Snippets TestBox Snippets ColdBox Testing Snippets https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-testboxThank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

Some of that data is cached up-front in the onApplicationStart() ColdFusion application life-cycle event handler; but, most of it is cached on-the-fly using the double-check locking pattern that I discussed recently. Unfortunately, I have no idea how much "data costs" to store in memory (meaning, how much room it takes up). So, I've always been a bit uneasy knowing that I may one day slam into a hard memory limit. But, all worry is gone now that I've installed FusionReactor's Application Performance Monitor (APM). I can now clearly see how much RAM I've used; and, more importantly, how much dang RAM I have left to play with.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4225-fusionreactor-apm-gives-me-peace-of-mind-over-in-memory-caching-in-coldfusion.htm3/15/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Adding Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) HTTP Header In ColdFusion 2021For years, I've been using Foundeo's HackMyCF security product on my server to help me keep my ColdFusion applications secure and up-to-date. Security is one of those feature that tends to rot over time. So, it's nice to have someone constantly nagging you about actively updating your platform. This morning, I'm finally adding the HTTP Strict-Transport-Security response header (often abbreviated as HSTS) to my ColdFusion blog so that browsers will force connections to be made using HTTPS, never HTTP.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4228-adding-strict-transport-security-hsts-http-header-in-coldfusion-2021.htm3/14/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Serving A Bypassable "Down For Maintenance" Page In ColdFusion 2021In the vast majority of cases, updates to my ColdFusion blog can be made while the site is online. Sometimes, however, if those changes are not backwards compatible, or require too much cross-file coordination, there's no way that I can start making changes without causing errors in the user experience (UX). In such cases, I need to temporarily block access to the site using a "Down for Maintenance" page. But, I still need to access the site in order to monitor and test the changes. As such, this maintenance page needs to be conditionally bypassable. Luckily, all of this is really easy in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4227-serving-a-bypassable-down-for-maintenance-page-in-coldfusion-2021.htmColdBox Fail Fast - https://coldbox.ortusbooks.com/getting-started/configuration/bootstrapper-application.cfc#composition CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 57 ColdFusion positions from 34 companies across 32 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listedFull-Time - Senior Coldfusion Developer |LATAM| at Colon, PAMar 11https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Senior-Coldfusion-Developer-LATAM-at-Colon-PA/11442Contract - Mid Level CF developer at Remote - AustraliaMar 15https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/australia/mid-cfdev-remote/11443Other Job LinksOrtus Solutionshttps://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Everett Community Collegehttps://employment.everettcc.edu/postings/5300 The Consortium, Inchttps://jobs.crelate.com/portal/consortium/job/ok4b6rcj95g1rhscawespxcdjy ForgeBox Module of the WeekGeoLocation By IP by Ortus SolutionsGeoLocation By IP.

Yesterday, I looked as using LATERAL derived tables to gather row-specific data. This morning, I want to look at using something called Common Table Expressions (CTE) in order to create derived tables that are factored-out of the main SQL query and placed within a named, temporary result set. This doesn't change the derived table, functionally speaking; but, I believe it does make the SQL query easier to read.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4223-using-common-table-expressions-cte-to-create-derived-tables-in-mysql-8.htm 3/7/22 - Charlie Arehart - FusionReactor 8.7.7 released, enhances the recent DB and API Time featureI had blogged in early November about how FusionReactor 8.7.4 had added at that time a new feature where it lists on request summary pages the DB and API Time of each request, so you could readily tell how much of a request's duration might have been caused by time spent waiting for either of those kinds of resources.Now in 8.7.7, which was released last week (Mar 1), the benefit of that feature has been extended so that a) the same information is written to both the FusionReactor request logs and b) it's also now available in FR crash protection alert emails. In this post, I'll show you examples of what's changed for each, and I'll note another related changes in the prior FR update, 8.7.6.https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2022/3/7/fusionreactor_8_7_7_enhances_db_and_api_time_feature 3/6/22 - Tweet - John Barret - University of Hawaii using CFLM in 2005How the University of Hawaii used to use #ColdFusion in ICS 415, a class I took way back in 2005. http://nordbotten.com/articles/ColdFusion.pdf https://twitter.com/johnny_barrett/status/1500677296499269633https://twitter.com/johnny_barrett3/5/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Tracking Database Schema And Schema Migrations In Git Version ControlA decade ago, I attended a presentation from Tim Cunningham titled "Version Control on the Database: the Final Frontier". At the time, I was relatively new to version control. At InVision, we had just started using git and GitHub; and, before that, I had only dabbled briefly with SVN (Subversion). I was still struggling to wrap my head around branching and merging and rebasing. So, when Tim suggested that we should also be storing our "database" in version control, I simply wasn't ready to hear it. I mean, it sounded awesome; but, due to my lack of experience, I couldn't connect - at a practical level - with anything he was saying. Cut to 2022 and I can't imagine not tracking our database schema and schema migrations in version control!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4221-tracking-database-schema-and-schema-migrations-in-git-version-control.htm 3/4/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Moving MySQL To A Per-Application Datasource In ColdFusion 2021Over the weekend, after my ColdFusion blog was accidentally upgraded from MySQL 5.0.10 to 8.0.28, I had to scurry and update the datasource configuration in both my production environment as well as in my local Docker development environment. And it occurred to me that manually updating the MySQL datasource in the ColdFusion Administrator represented a huge point of human failure. And, more than that, there was no record of these changes being made; which meant that undoing said changes would be quite challenging. In a modern application context, this is highly disturbing! My application's datasource configuration workflow should be in source-control. As such, I've decided to move my blog to a per-Application datasource.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4220-moving-mysql-to-a-per-application-datasource-in-coldfusion-2021.htm 3/4/22 - Blog - Mark Takata - Adobe - Trying out Redis for ColdFusion cachingI had a customer reach out to me last week about moving their session storage to Redis, so I decided to play around a bit with it. I'd never really had the need to utilize Redis or any of the other caches, as the companies I'd worked with used the local CF cache or other solutions. So I saw this as an opportunity to play and learn.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/03/trying-redis-coldfusion-caching/ 3/4/22 - Blog - Nolan Erck - South of Shasta - Why Do Some CFML Jobs Require Degrees?Earlier today in the ColdFusion Programmers forum on Facebook somebody asked (I'm paraphrasing a little) why do some ColdFusion jobs require a Computer Science degree when they don't teach CFML in college?I have 2 answers:1 - Actually, there is (or was?) a ColdFusion curriculum written up and made available for colleges that want to teach ColdFusion in the classroom. I'm unclear on the current status of this, but my guess is someone on the Adobe ColdFusion team would have more info (Mark or Kishore probably).2 - The longer answer is, because good Computer Science degrees are not language specific. Good degrees (and good software developers) focus on constructs, concepts, and higher level skills. They don't spend (much) time worrying about the difference between a CFInclude and a Custom Tag...but they do teach you why a programming construct that leaks data (CFInclude) would be less appropriate in most situations than one that promotes better programming practices (CFFunction, CFCs, and even Custom Tags are better than CFInclude in that regard).https://southofshasta.com/blog/why-do-some-cfml-jobs-require-degrees/ 3/3/22 - Tweet - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - CFML Queries have member functions like arrays and structsThis came up today-- you may not realize CFML queries have the same each(), map(), reduce(), filter() member functions as arrays and structs. Your closure receives a struct representing each query row. Super easy to use for manipulating queries. https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1499534951699603456 https://twitter.com/bdw429s 3/2/22 - Blog - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox/Undertow Server scanned with OWASP ZAPWe had a user ask recently if we had run any automated scanners against CommandBox servers to verify they were secure. While we've taken care to make CommandBox servers secure by default and I've helped many clients who have run scans against their own CommandBox-hosted apps, Ortus had never performed any scans just against CommandBox itself. I grabbed the OWASP ZAP scanner 4, which is a free scanning tool that checks for a bunch of different vulnerabilities, specifically HTTP header related. I figured it would be nice to post what I did here for the community to see.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/commandbox-undertow-server-scanned-with-owasp-zap/9134 3/2/22 - Tweet - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - SQL Server MonitorI've tossed the (very old) code for a little CF tool/site I wrote years ago to visually monitor all the running process on a SQL Server (ONTO GITHUB).  It's handy for finding processes with locks blocking other processes.  It's rough, but works.

Great free tier options for getting started with smaller apps. https://www.forgebox.io/view/sentry VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekFile Nesting in VS CodeVS Code v1.64 was released a few days ago and it's once again packaged with nice new features and improvements. An exciting new feature is the Side Panel that can be opened opposite to the Side Bar, i.e. the “other side of the screen”, giving you the option to have more views open at once. I can see how that can be useful on bigger screens.Another new feature that catched my interest was the experimental support for file nesting. This feature lets you visually “nest”/group related files under a “root” file in the same directory. For example, say you have a main.ts file and next to it you have main.js, main.d.ts and main.js.map. After enabling the file nesting feature and configuring it, VS Code will visually group the main.* files under the main.ts filehttps://dzhavat.github.io/2022/02/07/file-nesting-in-vs-code.html Thank you to all of our Patreon SupportersThese individuals are personally supporting our open source initiatives to ensure the great toolings like CommandBox, ForgeBox, ColdBox,  ContentBox, TestBox and all the other boxes keep getting the continuous development they need, and funds the cloud infrastructure at our community relies on like ForgeBox for our Package Management with CommandBox.

Dado que los contenedores simplifican el movimiento de trabajo de una máquina a otra, el auge de esta tecnología abre otras fronteras a los desarrolladores. Sin embargo, a medida que los contenedores ganan popularidad, se gesta una nueva batalla. En esta ocasión, la carrera es por tener el control de la coordinación e involucra a los actores más rápidos y fuertes del sector. Los contenedores son una de las evoluciones más importantes del movimiento open source. En este episodio, los invitados destacados Kelsey Hightower, defensor de los desarrolladores de Google, y Laura Frank, Docker Captain y Directora de ingeniería de Code Ship, entre otros, explican por qué esta nueva tecnología es la base del futuro.

Phil’s guest on this episode of the IT Career Energizer podcast is Bret Fisher. Bret is a freelance DevOps and Docker consultant, Udemy Instructor, trainer, speaker, and Open Source volunteer.  He teaches courses on Docker and Container technology and often does live training workshops. He’s also a volunteer Docker Captain and has been blogging about tech for more than 15 years. In this episode, Phil and Bret Fisher discuss the importance of holding strong opinions on things that are fact-based. While still listening, with an open mind, to what others have to say on the matter and not being afraid to change your view when appropriate. They also discuss how to effectively use even short online courses to greatly improve your career prospects. Bret also shares why employers now want to employ people who are willing and able to help others.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: (4.43) TOP CAREER TIP Here Bret talks about the importance of having “strong opinions that are weakly held”. It is important to know why you hold the opinions you do, but you also have to be prepared to discuss other possibilities. Even change your opinions should someone make a strong argument that proves you need to do so. This approach ensures you become a decisive person who is also able to move with the time and use other people´s ideas to improve things   (9.36) WORST CAREER MOMENT Bret´s worst moment happened when, for a blog he was working on, he forgot to tick the AWS auto-scale box. So, when one of their posts went viral and was number one on the Reddit homepage, the site went down. As a result, they missed out on a ton of traffic. It was fixed within an hour, but it was an awful mistake to make. In the podcast, Bret explained how he changed the way he works to make sure it could not happen again.   (13.32) CAREER HIGHLIGHT Bret describes what he is doing now as being his career highlight. In particular, being able to reach and help a huge audience through his courses and how that has helped to turn him into a popular public speaker. In this section, Bret explains how he keeps everything fresh. As well as how he keeps up with the changing needs of his audience.   (17.21) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T Bret and Phil discuss how the implementation of tech automation is changing the job market. As well as how people who work in the IT field can take advantage of this by seeking out and learning new stuff. Bret also discusses how you can use low-cost training to change direction and boost your career. Sometimes you only have to spend the equivalent of a few days taking a course and implementing what you learn to equip yourself to land a fantastic new job.   (23.26) THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Bret always liked computers, so it was a great fit for him. What’s the best career advice you received? – Share everything you can. Be a fountain of knowledge for your colleagues. What’s the worst career advice you received? – Go get a college degree to get your promotion. What would you do if you started your career now? – Bret would still bootstrap and learn everything from the ground up. What are your current career objectives? – Currently, Bret is focusing on how to use automation, metrics, and infrastructure as code as an effective way to manage change. What’s your number one non-technical skill? – Being comfortable standing up in front of a group of people and talking about something. How do you keep your own career energized? – Helping others is what keeps Bret´s career energized. What do you do away from technology? – Bret enjoys spending time with his wife cycling, going to the beach, and exploring local eateries.   (28.51) FINAL CAREER TIP Regardless of where you are on your career path, stop and think about what skills you are going to need. Then address any deficit you find. Also, do everything you can to help others and share what you know. The people who are willing and able to do this are now seen as important assets by most employers.   BEST MOMENTS (6.57) – Bret - “Hold strong, fact-based, opinions. But also listen to what others think and be prepared to change your stance, when appropriate.” (13.19) – Bret - “Learn how to use Q&A processes to prevent human errors from causing problems and improve workflow.” (17.40) – Bret - “Seek out new stuff. When you do you will always be able to find new opportunities.” (19.20) – Bret - “Take advantage of training online. It is cheap. Yet, provided you follow through, it can change your career.” (23.46) – Bret - “Share everything you can. Be a fountain of knowledge for your colleagues.” (29.51) – Bret - “Your value is now directly tied to how much you can share and help others.”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organizations to design, develop, and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T.

I have a live Q&A with Alex Ellis as we break down FaaS, Serverless, and how these technologies work with Docker and Kubernetes including his open source tools like OpenFaaS, Inlets, faasd, k3sup, and more.

Depuis quelques années, Kubernetes poursuit sa folle course en avant. Alors qu'il était encore considéré il y a peu comme un orchestrateur d'applications stateless, son adoption par l'entreprise l'entraine à devoir de plus en plus être en mesure de gérer les objets stateful et la persistance.L'année dernière, lors de la KubeCon Europe, Bryan Liles nous donnait son feu vert pour utiliser le stockage dans Kubernetes ; mais quelle est la réalité de terrain ? Quel est le point de vue de ceux qui utilisent depuis des années des conteneurs et des volumes ?Cette semaine je reçois Nicolas Muller. Nicolas est le CTO de Treeptik, Docker Captain, et évangélise pour que les entreprises commencent à mettre leurs bases de données dans Kubernetes. Avec lui, nous discuterons des raisons qui lui font dire que c'est un choix judicieux, mais aussi des problèmes que ça soulève.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/electromonkeys)

I sit down with Gianluca Arbezzano, a Docker Captain and Site Reliability Engineer at InfluxData. We talk about open source projects for monitoring and observability in containers and Kubernetes.

Brandon and I go through the last year of Swarm (SwarmKit) and what's happened so far in 2020, and talking about their future commitment to the built-in Docker orchestrator.

Mike Mondragon interviews Bret Fisher, who works as a freelance DevOps/sysadmin consultant, and who also has the designation of being a Docker Captain. Docker Captain is a distinction that Docker awards select members of the community that are Docker experts and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others. To that end, Bret walks us through the history of how he became involved in Docker, and indeed, the history of Docker itself: the problems it tried to solve, and the way the codebase evolved to provide those solutions. Much of the conversation centers around the confusing terminology and processes present in the Docker ecosystem: when to use Docker Compose, the differences between running Docker locally and in production, and when to consider adopting Kubernetes. There are also various container runtimes which developers can make use of, and Bret touches on the characteristics of each as well. Bret looks towards the future of Docker, the company, as they recently sold off a portion of their enterprise-focused business. Docker is returning to its original intent to provide developers with better tooling to deploy and isolate their applications. He urges caution to teams ready to move wholeheartedly to Docker and instead focus on solutions that match their problems, not those of immense enterprise corporations. Links from this episode An explanation of a Docker Captain's role DevOps in Docker Talk is Bret's podcast Kata Containers, containerd, and cri-o are just some of the container runtimes out there Kelsey Hightower's Kubernetes: the hard way is a tutorial that walks you through setting up Kubernetes

In this episode I'm live from the show floor at DockerCon with Nirmal Mehta and Nils De Moor as we cover the announcments, our favorite sessions, and take your questions on everything from Kubernetes, K3s, Proxy's, Traefik, Docker Enterprise 3.0, Linkerd, storage replication, and more.

In this episode, I chat with Laura Tacho from CloudBees and Marcos Lilljedahl from iúnigo, both Docker Captains and developers. We take questions from the live audience and discuss topics ranging from the difference between Jenkins and Jenkins X, to Facebook's osquery and other new open source, to Docker's upcoming 19.03 release and its new features.

GUEST BIO: Julie Lerman is a Microsoft Regional director, Docker Captain and a long-time Microsoft MVP who now counts her years as a coder in decades.  She makes her living as a coach and consultant to software teams around the world. You can find Julie presenting on Entity Framework, Domain Driven Design and other topics at user groups and conferences around the world. Julie blogs at thedatafarm.com is the author of the highly acclaimed “Programming Entity Framework” books, the MSDN Magazine Data Points column and popular videos on Pluralsight.com. EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s show is Julie Lerman. She has had a long IT career, of more than 30 years, during which she has worked as a coder and coach. Since 1989, she has worked as an independent consultant. Over the years, she has led software teams in many different countries. She specializes in guiding teams towards re-thinking their software architecture and adapting it to fit in with modern practices. Julie has worked hard to share her knowledge with a wider audience. She has created in-depth training in the Pluralsight library and has written 4 highly acclaimed books about Entity Framework. Her blog, thedatafarm is also a great source of information for developers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: (00.58) – So Julie, can you expand on that brief introduction and tell us a little bit more about yourself? Julie explains that she spent the first 4 or 5 years of her career working mainly as a programmer for employers. But, about 30 years ago, she decided to go it alone. These days, she focuses mainly on coaching, consulting and mentoring. She uses her decades of IT experience to help all kinds of IT teams to progress. (2.26) – How did you get into coaching, Julie? It is something that just evolved. For many years, she had been teaching people through her sites, books and conference speeches. After a while, people asked her to provide training for their teams. She really enjoyed the process of sitting down with companies and going through their issues and working out how to address them. It is much more effective than public training. However, she does encourage the companies to go through her PluralSight videos, first. If, after doing that, they still have problems or concerns she sits down and helps them to solve their more complex issues. (3.43) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? Julie’s most important piece of advice is to take responsibility for your career and further learning. Too many people get stuck in a rut. They just carry on doing the work they are familiar with. Over time, they end up being unaware of what is going on in the wider world. They have very little understanding of the new technologies and how they are being applied. You have to keep up with new developments to be able to make the most of your career. Phil reminds the audience that the company you are working for will only assist you in learning new skills, up to a point. Typically, they will only help you to take your career in a direction that suits the needs of the business. (5.14) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? For Julie her two worst career moments came when it was time for her to move on to bigger and better things. In both cases, her employers got very angry with her. They both tried to persuade her to stay by offering her a little extra money or the promotion she should have already earned, but not been given. In both cases, she felt that what they were offering was ‘too little, too late’. So, she said thank you, but no. That is when they got really angry and aggressive. In both cases, she had to deal with the men who had been almost father figures to her losing their tempers and berating her just for leaving. For someone in their 20s this was an extremely unpleasant situation. (7.21) – Did you take anything away from that experience, in particular? Julie says that it taught her to trust her instincts. These experiences also made her realize that she had more gumption than she thought. She just stood there and sucked it up, did not argue back and moved peacefully on into a better role. (8.28) – Phil asks Julie about her best career moment, her greatest success. The moment Julie’s first book was delivered to her home and she held it in her hands was a highlight. She felt so proud of what she had achieved. But, Julie is lucky enough to regularly experience smaller moments that also make her feel proud. For example, when she is able to help a developer to understand something they have struggled with.  Another example is when she suggests a little tweak that ends up making a tremendous difference and benefiting lots of people. (9.58) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that things are so open-ended right now is something that excites Julie about the IT industry. Things are opening up in new directions all of the time. Thanks to IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data. The easy availability and effectiveness of this tech are freeing people up to use their talents in new and exciting ways. You no longer have to worry about a long list of little details, when developing. Now, you can focus on the code knowing that the deployment and infrastructure is not an issue. Cloud computing has made things so much easier. It is just one example of how new technology is freeing up developers to achieve more. (12.24) – What drew you to a career in IT? Julie fell into her IT career by accident. When she started college, her plan was to become a chemical engineer. While there she took a programming class. She realized she was something of a natural, so got involved in IT instead of chemistry. (12.59) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? Someone once told her to “praise publically, criticize privately”, which is advice that Julie is careful to follow. (13.23) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? That is something that Julie has never really thought about before. It is not really in her nature to plan like that. But, she does wish that she had more time to get more deeply involved in machine learning. She also knows that she would still want to be involved in the back end. (14.17) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Right now, Julie is focused on continuing to learn, to make sure that she stays relevant. She is working to make sure that she pushes herself out of her comfort zone without constantly jumping from one thing to another. Looking for opportunities to share what she learns is helping to do this and cement her knowledge. (15.42) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? Julie says that her liberal arts degree has proved to be surprisingly helpful. Taking the course, gave her a head for broad thinking and thinking outside the box. It helped her to develop her creative thinking. These are skills that she has found invaluable during her IT career. (16.19) – Phil asks Julie to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. If you find yourself stuck on a problem, walk away from your computer. Take the dog for a walk or something similar to break the negative cycle. When you do that you can be lucky and find that the solution has been there all the time floating around your head. You mentally go through everything again. Usually, that is when you work out what it is you have missed or a few other things you can do to fix the problem. All you need to do is to give your brain a chance to relax to get a fresh perspective.

Episode 35 of DevOps Radio features Laura Frank, formerly of Codeship (and now a Bee). Not only has Laura been a great addition to the CloudBees team as Director of Engineering, but as a Docker Captain, she lends valuable insights on the rise of containers.

The rise of Container technologies opens a new frontier for developers, simplifying the movement of work from machine to machine. As Containers become more popular, though, a new battle emerges. This race is for the control of orchestration and involves the industry’s fastest, strongest players. Containers are one of the most important evolutions in the open-source movement and in this episode, featured guests Kelsey Hightower, Google developer advocate, and Laura Frank, Docker Captain and Director of Engineering at Code Ship, along with others, explain how this new technology is the building blocks of the future.

Scott talks to Docker Captain and Open Source programmer Alex Ellis about the rise of Kubernetes, Serverless, and his project "OpenFaas." Alex also shares details on the obsession (and usefulness) of Raspberry Pi clusters for learning large systems development.

Docker has a huge amount of momentum in the community, and you can feel their enthusiasm and energy, both virtually and at live events like DockerCon, which is where we recorded this podcast with them! The Docker Captains Program is about a year old, and is a calculated way of helping the most active people in their community feel connected to the company and help them grow. We appreciate the way they are both organically and strategically approaching their program, and growing globally. Docker Community has been a large engine to their growth as a company, and they see community as a way to help all sectors of Docker — technical, marketing, etc. They are building a program as a way for passionate community members to bring their value to Docker. They are constantly taking feedback and making changes. At the end of our podcast, Jenny and Victor’s smiles said it all: when a program like Docker’s works so well, magic and synergy happen, to elevate all of those involved. They are proud of the way the program enables members, provides education, and creates a network effect across the globe, and how much is done for community, with little resources. About our guests, Jenny Burcio and Victor Coisne Jenny and Victor with John during our recording session at DockerCon Jenny Burcio runs the Docker Captains program, where she helps awesome Docker community members inspire and educate others. Prior to Docker, Jenny worked at Apigee helping to build their community programs and partner ecosystem. Jenny is a recovering attorney, mom, and wannabe plant whisperer.
