Pisanie dobrej dokumentacji dla deweloperów oprócz wysoko rozwiniętego warsztatu językowego wymaga również umiejętności technicznych, takich jak kodowanie. Czy teoretyczna znajomość pewnych zagadnień jest wystarczająca czy trzeba również posiadać doświadczenie praktyczne? Rozmawiamy o tym jak bardzo zaawansowane umiejętności techniczne powinien posiadać technoskryba w świecie rozwoju oprogramowania i czego powinien się nauczyć, żeby brylować na deweloperskich salonach i tworzyć dokumentację o wysokiej jakości i wiarygodności.

"Docs as code" to filozofia, która głosi, żeby tworzyć dokumentację za pomocą tych samych narzędzi i procesów co oprogramowanie. W zamian za to otrzymujemy szereg benefitów, takich jak lepsza współpraca z programistami, synchronizacja kodu i dokumentacji, wersjonowanie, automatyczne testy oraz ogólne poczucie, że dokumentacja to wspólna odpowiedzialność. Czy takie podejście sprawdza się w praktyce? Czy nie są to tylko puste obietnice, których w rzeczywistości nie da się spełnić? W tym odcinku konfrontujemy artykuł "Docs as code is a broken promise" z naszymi własnymi doświadczeniami i przekonaniami. Uwaga, spoiler! Jako żarliwi zwolennicy docs as code, staramy się pokazać, że pomimo wyzwań jakie ze sobą niesie, jest to podejście, które dobrze się sprawdza w świecie dokumentacji do oprogramowania.

Joël conducted a thoughtbot mini-workshop on query plans, which Stephanie found highly effective due to its interactive format. They then discuss the broader value of interactive workshops over traditional talks for deeper learning. Addressing listener questions, Stephanie and Joël explore the strategic use of if and else in programming for clearer code, the importance of thorough documentation in identifying bugs, and the use of Postgres' EXPLAIN ANALYZE, highlighting the need for environment-specific considerations in query optimization.

I'm Stephanie Minn. JOËL: And I'm Joël Quenneville, and together, we're here to share a bit of what we've learned along the way. STEPHANIE: So, Joël, what's new in your world? JOËL: Just recently, I ran a sort of mini workshop for some colleagues here at thoughtbot to dig into the idea of query plans and, how to read them, how to use them. And, initially, this was going to be more of a kind of presentation style. And a colleague and I who were sharing this decided to go for a more interactive format where, you know, this is a, like, 45-minute slot. And so, we set it up so that we did a sort of intro to query plans in about 10 minutes then 15 minutes of breakout rooms, where people got a chance to have a query plan. And they had some sort of comprehension questions to answer about it. And then, 15 minutes together to have each group share a little bit about what they had discovered in their query plan back with the rest of the group, so trying to balance some understanding, some application, some group discussion, trying to keep it engaging. It was a pretty fun approach to sharing information like that. STEPHANIE: Yeah. I wholeheartedly agree. I got to attend that workshop, and it was really great. Now that I'm hearing you kind of talk about the three different components and what you wanted people attending to get out of it, I am impressed because [laughs] there is, like, a lot more thought, I think, that went into just participant engagement that reflecting on it now I'm like, oh yeah, like, I think that was really effective as opposed to just a presentation. Because you had, you know, sent us out into breakout rooms, and each group had a different query that they were analyzing. You had kind of set up links that had the query set up in the query analyzer. I forget what the tool was called that you used. JOËL: I forget the name of it, but we will link it in the show notes. STEPHANIE: Yeah. It was helpful for me, though, because, you know, I think if I were just to have learned about it in a presentation or even just looked at, you know, screenshots of it on a slide, that's different still from interacting with it and feeling more confident to use it next time I find myself in a situation where it might be helpful. JOËL: It's really interesting because that was sort of the goal of it was to make it a bit more interactive and then, hopefully, helping people to retain more information than just a straight up, like, presentation would be. I don't know how you feel, I find that often when I go to a place like, let's say, RailsConf, I tend to stay away from more of the workshop-y style events and focus more on the talks. Is that something that you do as well? STEPHANIE: Yeah. I have to confess that I've never attended a workshop [laughs] at a conference. I think it's partly my learning style and also partly just honestly, like, my energy level when I'm at the conference. I kind of just want to sit back. It's on my to-do list. Like, I definitely want to attend one just to see what it's like. And maybe that might even inspire me to want to create my own workshop. But it's like, once I'm in it, and, you know, like, everyone else is also participating, I'm very easily peer pressured [laughs]. So, in a group setting, I will find myself enjoying it a lot more. And I felt that kind of same way with the workshop you ran for our team. Though, I will say a funny thing that happened was that when I went out into my breakout group with another co-worker, and we were trying to grok this query that you gave us, we found out that we got the hardest one, the most complicated one [laughs] because there were so many things going on. There was, like, multiple, like, you know, unions, some that were, like, nested, and then just, like, a lot of duplication as well, like, some conditions that were redundant because of a different condition happening inside of, like, an inner statement. And yeah, we were definitely scratching our heads for a bit and were very grateful that we got to come back together as a group and be like, "Can someone please help? [laughs] Let's figure out what's going on here." JOËL: Sort of close that loop and like, "Hey, here's what we saw. What does everybody else see?" STEPHANIE: Yeah, and I appreciated that you took queries from actual client projects that you were working on. JOËL: Yeah, that was the really fun part of it was that these were not sort of made-up queries to illustrate a point. These were actual queries that I had spent some time trying to optimize and where I had had to spend a lot of time digging into the query plans to understand what was going on. And it sounds like, for you, workshops are something that is...they're generally more engaging, and you get more value out of them. But there's higher activation energy to get started. Does that sound right? STEPHANIE: Yeah, that sounds right. I think, like, I've watched so many talks now, both in person and on YouTube, that a lot of them are easily forgettable [laughs], whereas I think a workshop would be a lot more memorable because of that interactivity and, you know, you get out of it what you put in a little bit. JOËL: Yeah, that's true. Have you looked at the schedule for RailsConf 2024 yet? And are there any workshops on there that you're maybe considering or that maybe have piqued your interest? STEPHANIE: I have, in fact, and maybe I will check off attending a workshop [laughs] off my bucket list this year. There are two that I'm excited about. Unfortunately, they're both at the same time slot, so I -- JOËL: Oh no. You're going to have to choose. STEPHANIE: I know. I imagine I'll have to choose. But I'm interested in the Let's Extend Rails With A Gem by Noel Rappin and Vision For Inclusion Workshop run by Todd Sedano. The Rails gem one I'm excited about because it's just something that I haven't had to do really in my dev career so far, and I think I would really appreciate having that guidance. And also, I think that would be motivation to just get that, like, hands-on experience with it. Otherwise, you know, this is something that I could say that I would want to do and then never get [chuckles] around to it. JOËL: Right, right. And building a gem is the sort of thing that I think probably fits better in a workshop format than in a talk format. STEPHANIE: Yeah. And I've really appreciated all of Noel's content out there. I've found it always really practical, so I imagine that the workshop would be the same. JOËL: So, other than poring over the RailsConf schedule and planning your time there, what has been new for you this week? STEPHANIE: I have a really silly one [laughs]. JOËL: Okay. STEPHANIE: Which is, yesterday I went out to eat dinner to celebrate my partner's birthday, and I experienced, for the first time, robots [laughter] at this restaurant. So, we went out to Hot Pot, and I guess they just have these, like, robot, you know, little, small dish delivery things. They were, like, as tall as me, almost, at least, like, four feet. They were cat-themed. JOËL: [laughs] STEPHANIE: So, they had, like...shaped like cat...they had cat ears, and then there was a screen, and on the screen, there was, like, a little face, and the face would, like, wink at you and smile. JOËL: Aww. STEPHANIE: And I guess how this works is we ordered our food on an iPad, and if you ordered some, like, side dishes and stuff, it would come out to you on this robot cat with wheels. JOËL: Very fun. STEPHANIE: This robot tower cat. I'm doing a poor job describing it because I'm still apparently bewildered [laughs]. But yeah, I was just so surprised, and I was not as...I think I was more, like, shocked than delighted. I imagine other people would find this, like, very fun. But I was a little bit bewildered [laughs]. The other thing that was very funny about this experience is that these robots were kind of going down the aisle between tables, and the aisles were not quite big enough for, like, two-way traffic. And so, there were times where I would be, you know, walking up to go use the restroom, and I would turn the corner and find myself, like, face to face with one of these cat robot things, and, like, it's starting to go at me. I don't know if it will stop [laughs], and I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to find out. JOËL: [laughs] STEPHANIE: So, to avoid colliding with this, you know, food delivery robot, I just, like, ran away from it [laughs]. JOËL: You don't know if they're, like, programmed to yield or something like that. STEPHANIE: Listen, it did not seem like it was going to stop. JOËL: [laughs] STEPHANIE: It got, like, I was, you know, kind of standing there frozen in paralysis [laughs] for a little while. And then, once it got, I don't know, maybe two or three feet away from me, I was like, okay, like, this is too close for comfort [laughs]. So, that was my, I don't know, my experience at this robot restaurant. Definitely starting to feel like I'm in the, I don't know, is this the future? Someone, please let me know [laughs]. JOËL: Is this a future that you're excited or happy about, or does this future seem a little bit dystopian to you? STEPHANIE: I was definitely alarmed [laughter]. But I'm not, like, a super early adopter of new technology. These kinds of innovations, if you will, always surprise me, and I'm like, oh, I guess this is happening now [laughs]. And I will say that the one thing I did not enjoy about it is that there was not enough room to go around this robot. It definitely created just pedestrian traffic issues. So, perhaps this could be very cool and revolutionary, but also, maybe design robots for humans first. JOËL: Or design your dining room to accommodate your vision for the robots. I'm sure that flying cars and robots will solve all of this, for sure. STEPHANIE: Oh yeah [laughter]. Then I'll just have to worry about things colliding above my head. JOËL: And for the listeners who cannot see my face right now, that was absolutely sarcasm [laughs]. Speaking of our listeners, today we're going to look at a group of different listener questions. And if you didn't know that, you could send in a question to have Stephanie and I discuss, you can do that. Just send us an email at hosts@bikeshed.fm. And sometimes, we put it into a regular episode. Sometimes, we combine a few and sort of make a listener question episode, which is what we're doing today. STEPHANIE: Yeah. It's a little bit of a grab bag. JOËL: Our first question comes from Yuri, and Yuri actually has a few different questions. But the first one is asking about Episode 349, which is pretty far back. It was my first episode when I was coming on with Chris and Steph, and they were sort of handing the baton to me as a host of the show. And we talked about a variety of hot takes or unpopular opinions. Yuri mentions, you know, a few that stood out to him: one about SPAs being not so great, one about how you shouldn't need to have a side project to progress in your career as a developer, one about developer title inflation, one about DRY and how it can be dangerous for a mid-level dev, avoiding let in RSpec specs, the idea that every if should come with an else, and the idea that developers shouldn't be included in design and planning. And Yuri's question is specifically the question about if statements, that every if should come with an else. Is that still an opinion that we still have, and why do we feel that way? STEPHANIE: Yeah, I'm excited to get into this because I was not a part of that episode. I was a listener back then when it was still Steph and Chris. So, I am hopefully coming in with a different, like, additional perspective to add as well while we kind of do a little bit of a throwback. So, the one about every if should come with an else, that was an unpopular opinion of yours. Do you mind kind of explaining what that means for you? JOËL: Yeah. So, in general, Ruby is an expression-oriented language. So, if you have an if that does not include an else, it will implicitly return nil, which can burn you. There may be some super expert programmers out there that have never run into undefined method for nil nil class, but I'm still the kind of programmer who runs into that every now and then. And so, implicit nils popping up in my code is not something I generally like. I also generally like having explicit else for control flow purposes, making it a little bit clearer where flow of control goes and what are the actual paths through a particular method. And then, finally, doing ifs and elses instead of doing them sort of inline or as trailing conditionals or things like that, by having them sort of all on each lines and balancing out. The indentation itself helps to scan the code a little bit more. So, deeper indentation tells you, okay, we're, like, nesting multiple conditions, or something like that. And so, it makes it a little bit easier to spot complexity in the code. You can apply, and I want to say this is from Sandi Metz, the squint test. STEPHANIE: Yeah, it is. JOËL: Where you just kind of, like, squint at your code so you're not looking at the actual characters, and more of the structure, and the indentation is actually a friend there rather than something to fight. So, that was sort of the original, I think, idea behind that. I'm curious, in your experience, if you would like to balance your conditionals, ifs with something else, or if you would like to do sort of hanging ifs. STEPHANIE: Hanging ifs, I like that phrase that you just coined there. I agree with your opinion, and I think it's especially true if you're returning values, right? I mean, in Ruby, you kind of always are. But if you are caring about return values, like you said, to avoid that implicit nil situation, I find, especially if you're writing tests for that code, it's really easy, you know, if you spot that condition, you're like, okay, great. Like, this is a path I need to test. But then, oftentimes, you don't test that implicit path, and if you don't enter the condition, then what happens, right? So, I think that's kind of what you're referring to when you talk about both. It's, like, easier to spot in terms of control flow, like, all the different paths of execution, as well as, yeah, like, saving you the headaches of some bugs down the line. One thing that I thought about when I was kind of revisiting that opinion of yours is the idea of like, what are you trying to communicate is different or special about this condition when you are writing an if statement? And, in my head, I kind of came up with a few different situations you might find yourself in, which is, one, where you truly just have, like, a special case, and you're treating that completely differently. Another when you have more of a, like, binary situation, where it's you want to kind of highlight either...more of a dichotomy, right? It's not necessarily that there is a default but that these are two opposite things. And then, a third situation in which you have multiple conditions, but you only happen to have two right now. JOËL: Interesting. And do you think that, like, breaking down those situations would lead you to pick different structures for writing your conditionals? STEPHANIE: I think so. JOËL: Which of those scenarios do you think you might be more likely to reach for an if that doesn't have an else that goes with it? STEPHANIE: I think that first one, the special case one. And in Yuri's email, he actually asked, as a follow-up, "Do we avoid guard clauses as a result of this kind of heuristic or rule?" And I think that special case situation is where a guard clause would shine because you are highlighting it by putting it at the top of a method, and then saying like, you know, "Bail out of this" or, like, "Return this particular thing, and then don't even bother about the rest of this code." JOËL: I like that. And I think guard clauses they're not the first thing I reach for, but they're not something I absolutely avoid. I think they need to be used with care. Like you said, they have to be in the top of your method. If you're adding returns and things that break out of your method, deep inside a conditional somewhere, 20 lines into your method, you don't get to call that a guard clause anymore. That's something else entirely. I think, ideally, guard clauses are also things that will break out of the method, so they're maybe raising exception. Maybe they're returning a value. But they are things that very quickly check edge cases and bail so that the body of the method can focus on expecting data in the correct shape. STEPHANIE: I have a couple more thoughts about this; one is I'm reminded of back when we did that episode on kind of retroing Sandi Metz's Rules For Developers. I think one of the rules was: methods should only be five lines of code. And I recall we'd realized, at least I had realized for the first time, that if you write an if-else condition in Ruby, that's exactly five lines [laughs]. And so, now that I'm thinking about this topic, it's cool to see that a couple of these rules converge a little bit, where there's a bit of explicitness in saying, like, you know, if you're starting to have more conditions that can't just be captured in a five-line if-else statement, then maybe you need something else there, right? Something perhaps like polymorphic or just some way to have branched earlier. JOËL: That's true. And so, even, like, you were talking about the exceptional edge cases where you might want to bail. That could be a sign that your method is doing too much, trying to like, validate inputs and also run some sort of algorithm. Maybe this needs to be some sort of, like, two-step thing, where there's almost, like, a parsing phase that's handled by a different object or a different method that will attempt to standardize your inputs and raise the appropriate errors and everything. And then, your method that has the actual algorithm or code that you're trying to run can just assume that its inputs are in the correct shape, kind of that pushing the uncertainty to the edges. And, you know, if you've only got one edge case to check, maybe it's not worth to, like, build this in layers, or separate out the responsibilities, or whatever. But if you're having a lot, then maybe it does make sense to say, "Let's break those two responsibilities out into two places." STEPHANIE: Yeah. And then, the one last kind of situation I've observed, and I think you all talked about this in the Unpopular Opinions episode, but I'm kind of curious how you would handle it, is side effects that only need to be applied under a certain condition. Because I think that's when, if we're focusing less on return values and more just on behavior, that's when I will usually see, like, an if something, then do this that doesn't need to happen for the other path. JOËL: Yes. I guess if you're doing some sort of side effect, like, I don't know, making a request to an API or writing to a file or something, having, like, else return nil or some other sentinel value feels a little bit weird because now you're caring about side effects rather than return values, something that you need to keep thinking of. And that's something where I think my thing has evolved since that episode is, once you start having multiple of these, how do they compose together? So, if you've got if condition, write to a file, no else, keep going. New if condition, make a request to an API endpoint, no else, continue. What I've started calling independent conditions now, you have to think about all the different ways that they can combine, and what you end up having is a bit of a combinatorial explosion. So, here we've got two potential actions: writing to a file, making a request to an API. And we could have one or the other, or both, or neither could happen, depending on the inputs to your method, and maybe you actually want that, and that's cool. Oftentimes, you didn't necessarily want all of those, especially once you start going to three, four, five. And now you've got that, you know, explosion, like, two to the five. That's a lot of paths through your method. And you probably didn't really need that many. And so, that can get really messy. And so, sometimes the way that an if and an else work where those two paths are mutually exclusive actually cuts down on the total number of paths through your method. STEPHANIE: Hmm, I like that. That makes a lot of sense to me. I have definitely seen a lot of, like, procedural code, where it becomes really hard to tell how to even start relating some of these concepts together. So, if you happen to need to run a side effect, like writing to a file or, I don't know, one common one I can think of is notifying something or someone in a particular case, and maybe you put that in a condition. But then there's a different branching path that you also need to kind of notify someone for a similar reason, maybe even the same reason. It starts to become hard to connect, like, those two reasons. It's not something that, like, you can really scan for or, like, necessarily make that connection because, at that point, you're going down different paths, right? And there might be other signals that are kind of confusing things along the way. And it makes it a lot harder, I think, to find a shared abstraction, which could ultimately make those really complicated nested conditions a little more manageable or just, like, easier to understand at a certain complexity. I definitely think there is a threshold. JOËL: Right. And now you're talking about nested versus non-nested because when conditions are sort of siblings of each other, an if-else behaves differently from two ifs without an else. I think a classic situation where this pops up is when you're structuring code for a wizard, a multi-step form. And, oftentimes, people will have a bunch of checks. They're like, oh, if this field is present, do these things. If this field is present, do these things. And then, it becomes very tricky to know what the flow of control is, what you can expect at what moment, and especially which actions might get shared across multiple steps. Is it safe to refactor in one place if you don't want to break step three? And so, learning to think about the different paths through your code and how different conditional structures will impact that, I think, was a big breakthrough for me in terms of taking the next logical step in terms of thinking, when do I want to balance my ifs and when do I not want to? I wrote a whole article on the topic. We'll link it in the show notes. So, Yuri, thanks for a great question, bringing us back into a classic developer discussion. Yuri also asks or gives us a bit of a suggestion: What about revisiting this topic and doing an episode on hot takes or unpopular topics? Is that something that you'd be interested in, Stephanie? STEPHANIE: Oh yeah, definitely, because I didn't get to, you know, share my hot topics the last episode [laughs]. [inaudible 24:23] JOËL: You just got them queued up and ready to go. STEPHANIE: Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I will definitely be brainstorming some spicy takes for the show. JOËL: So, Yuri, thanks for the questions and for the episode suggestion. STEPHANIE: So, another listener, Kevin, wrote in to us following up from our episode on Module Docs and about a different episode about Multi-dimensional Numbers. And he mentioned a gem that he maintains. It's called Ruby Units. And it basically handles the nitty gritty of unit conversions for you, which I thought was really neat. He mentioned that it has a numeric class, and it knows how to do math [laughs], which I would find really convenient because that is something that I have been grateful not to have to really do since college [laughs], at least those unit conversions and all the things that I'd probably learned in math and physics courses [laughs]. So, I thought that was really cool, definitely is one to check out if you frequently work with units. It seemed like it would be something that would make sense for a domain that is more science or deals in that kind of domain. JOËL: I'm always a huge fan of anything that tags raw numbers that you're working with with a quantity rather than just floating raw numbers around. It's so easy to make a mistake to either treat a number as a quantity you didn't think of, or make some sort of invalid operation on it, or even to think you have a value in a different size than you do. You think you're dealing with...you know you have a time value, but you think it's in seconds. It's actually in milliseconds. And then, you get off by some big factor. These are all mistakes that I have personally made in my career, so leaning on a library to help avoid those mistakes, have better information hiding for the things that really aren't relevant to the work that I'm trying to do, and also, kind of reify these ideas so that they have sort of a name, and they're, like, their own object, their own thing that we can interact with in the app rather than just numbers floating around, those are all big wins from my perspective. STEPHANIE: I also just thought of a really silly use case for this that is, I don't know, maybe I'll have to experiment with this. But every now and then, I find the need to have to convert a unit, and I just pop into Google, and I'm like, please give me, you know, I'll search for 10 kilometers in miles or something [laughs]. But then I have to...sometimes Google will figure it out for me, and sometimes it will just list me with a bunch of weird conversion websites that all have really old-school UI [laughs]. Do you know what I'm talking about here? Anyway, I would be curious to see if I could use this gem as a command-line interface [laughs] for me without having to go to my browser and roll the dice with freecalculator.com or something like that [laughs]. JOËL: One thing that's really cool with this library that I saw is the ability to define your own units, and that's a thing that you'll often encounter having to deal with values that are maybe not one of the most commonly used units that are out there, dealing with numbers that might mean a thing that's very particular to your domain. So, that's great that the library supports that. I couldn't see if it supports multi-dimensional units. That was the episode that inspired the comment. But either way, this is a really cool library. And thank you, Kevin, for sharing this with us. STEPHANIE: Kevin also mentions that he really enjoys using YARD docs. And we had done that whole episode on Module Docs and your experience writing them. So, you know, your people are out there [laughs]. JOËL: Yay. STEPHANIE: And we talked about this a little bit; I think that writing the docs, you know, on one hand, is great for future readers, but, also, I think has the benefit of forcing the author to really think about their inputs and outputs, as Kevin mentions. He's found bugs by simply just going through that process in designing his code, and also recommends Solargraph and Solargraph's VSCode extension, which I suspect really kind of makes it easy to navigate a complex codebase and kind of highlight just what you need to know when working with different APIs for your classes. So, I recently kind of switched to the Ruby LSP, build with Shopify, but I'm currently regretting it because nothing is working for me right now. So, that might be the push that I need [laughs] to go back to using Solargraph. JOËL: It's interesting that Kevin mentions finding bugs while writing docs because that has absolutely been my experience. And even in this most recent round, I was documenting some code that was just sort of there. It wasn't new code that I was writing. And so, I had given myself the rule that this would be documentation-only PRs, no code changes. And I found some weird code, and I found some code that I'm 98% sure is broken. And I had to have the discipline to just put a notice in the documentation to be like, "By the way, this is how the method should work. I'm pretty sure it's broken," and then, maybe come back to it later to fix it. But it's amazing how trying to document code, especially code that you didn't write yourself, really forces you to read it in a different way, interact with it in a different way, and really, like, understand it in a deep way that surprised me a little bit the first time I did it. STEPHANIE: That's cool. I imagine it probably didn't feel good to be like, "Hey, I know that this is broken, and I can't fix it right now," but I'm glad you did. That takes a lot of, I don't know, I think, courage, in my opinion [laughs], to be like, "Yeah, I found this, and I'm going to, you know, like, raise my hand acknowledging that this is how it is," as supposed to just hiding behind a broken functionality that no one [laughs] has paid attention to. JOËL: And it's a thing where if somebody else uses this method and it breaks in a way, and they're like, "Well, the docs say it should behave like this," that would be really frustrating. If the docs say, "Hey, it should behave like this, but it looks like it's broken," then, you know, I don't know, I would feel a little bit vindicated as a person who's annoyed at the code right now. STEPHANIE: For sure. JOËL: Finally, we have a message from Tim about using Postgres' EXPLAIN ANALYZE. Tim says, "Hey, Joël, in the last episode, you talked a bit about PG EXPLAIN ANALYZE. As you stated, it's a great tool to help figure out what's going on with your queries, but there is a caveat you need to keep in mind. The query planner uses statistics gathered on the database when making decisions about how to fetch records. If there's a big difference between your dev or staging database and production, the query may make different decisions. For example, if a table has a low number of records in it, then the query planner may just do a table scan, but in production, it might use an index. Also, keep in mind that after a schema changes, it may not know about new indexes or whatever unless an explicit ANALYZE is done on the table." So, this is really interesting because, as Tim mentions, EXPLAIN ANALYZE doesn't behave exactly the same in production versus in your local development environment. STEPHANIE: When you were trying to optimize some slow queries, where were you running the ANALYZE command? JOËL: I used a combination. I mostly worked off of production data. I did a little bit on a staging database that had not the same amount of records and things. That was pretty significant. And so, I had to switch to production to get realistic results. So, yes, I encountered this kind of firsthand. STEPHANIE: Nice. For some reason, this comment also made me think of..., and I wanted to plug a thoughtbot shell command that we have called Parity, which lets you basically download your production database into your local dev database if you use Heroku. And that has come in handy for me, obviously, in regular development, but would be really great in this use case. JOËL: With all of the regular caveats around security, and PII, and all this stuff that come with dealing with production data. But if you're running real productions on production, you should be cleared and, like, trained for access to all of that. I also want to note that the queries that you all worked with on Friday are also from the production database. STEPHANIE: Really? JOËL: So, you got to see what it actually does, what the actual timings were. STEPHANIE: I'm surprised by that because we were using, like, a web-based tool to visualize the query plans. Like, what were you kind of plugging into the tool for it to know? JOËL: So, the tool accepts a query plan, which is a text output from running a SQL query. STEPHANIE: Okay. So, it's just visualizing it. JOËL: Correct. Yeah. So, you've got this query plan, which comes back as this very intimidating block of, like, text, and arrows, and things like that. And you plug it into this web UI, and now you've got something that is kind of interactive, and visual, and you can expand or collapse nodes. And it gives you tooltips on different types of information and where you're spending the most time. So, yeah, it's just a nicer way to visualize that data that comes from the query plan. STEPHANIE: Gotcha. That makes sense. JOËL: So, that's a very important caveat. I don't think that's something that we mentioned on the episode. So, thank you, Tim, for highlighting that. And for all of our listeners who were intrigued by leaning into EXPLAIN ANALYZE and query plan viewers to debug your slow queries, make sure you try it out in production because you might get different results otherwise. STEPHANIE: So, yeah, that about wraps up our listener topics in recent months. On that note, Joël, shall we wrap up? JOËL: Let's wrap up.

They have long been one of my favorite products just because it has dramatically changed the way that I interact with computers, which really should be enough to terrify anyone. My guest today is Maya Kaczorowski, Chief Product Officer at Tailscale. Maya, thanks for joining me.Maya: Thank you so much for having me.Corey: I have to say originally, I was a little surprised to—“Really? You're the CPO? I really thought I would have remembered that from the last time we hung out in person.” So, congratulations on the promotion.Maya: Thank you so much. Yeah, it's exciting.Corey: Being a product person is probably a great place to start with this because we've had a number of conversations, here and otherwise, around what Tailscale is and why it's awesome. I don't necessarily know that beating the drum of why it's so awesome is going to be covering new ground, but I'm sure we're going to come up for that during the conversation. Instead, I'd like to start by talking to you about just what a product person does in the context of building something that is incredibly central not just to critical path, but also has massive security ramifications as well, when positioning something that you're building for the enterprise. It's a very hard confluence of problems, and there are days I am astonished that enterprises can get things done based purely upon so much of the mitigation of what has to happen. Tell me about that. How do you even function given the tremendous vulnerability of the attack surface you're protecting?Maya: Yeah, I don't know if you—I feel like you're talking about the product, but also the sales cycle of talking [laugh] and working with enterprise customers.Corey: The product, the sales cycle, the marketing aspects of it, and—Maya: All of it.Corey: —it all ties together. It's different facets of frankly, the same problem.Maya: Yeah. I think that ultimately, this is about really understanding who the customer that is buying the product is. And I really mean that, like, buying the product, right? Because, like, look at something like Tailscale. We're typically used by engineers, or infrastructure teams in an organization, but the buyer might be the VP of Engineering, but it might be the CISO, or the CTO, or whatever, and they're going to have a set of requirements that's going to be very different from what the end-user has as a set of requirements, so even if you have something like bottom-up adoption, in our case, like, understanding and making sure we're checking all the boxes that somebody needs to actually bring us to work.Enterprises are incredibly demanding, and to your point, have long checklists of what they need as part of an RFP or that kind of thing. I find that some of the strictest requirements tend to be in security. So like, how—to your point—if we're such a critical part of your network, how are you sure that we're always available, or how are you sure that if we're compromised, you're not compromised, and providing a lot of, like, assurances and controls around making sure that that's not the case.Corey: I think that there's a challenge in that what enterprise means to different people can be wildly divergent. I originally came from the school of obnoxious engineering where oh, as an engineer, whenever I say something is enterprise grade, that's not a compliment. That means it's going to be slow and moribund. But that is a natural consequence of a company's growth after achieving success, where okay, now we have actual obligations to customers and risk mitigation that needs to be addressed. And how do you wind up doing that without completely hobbling yourself when it comes to accelerating feature velocity? It's a very delicate balancing act.Maya: Yeah, for sure. And I think you need to balance, to your point, kind of creating demand for the product—like, it's actually solving the problem that the customer has—versus checking boxes. Like, I think about them as features, or you know, feature requests versus feature blockers or deal blockers or adoption blockers. So, somebody wants to, say, connect to an AWS VPC, but then the person who has to make sure that that's actually rolled out properly also wants audit logs and SSH session recording and RBAC-based controls and lots of other things before they're comfortable deploying that in their environment. And I'm not even talking about the list of, you know, legal, kind of, TOS requirements that they would have for that kind of situation.I think there's a couple of things that you need to do to even signal that you're in that space. One of the things that I was—I was talking to a friend of mine the other day how it feels like five years ago, like, nobody had SOC 2 reports, or very few startups had SOC 2 reports. And it's probably because of the advent of some of these other companies in this space, but like, now you can kind of throw a dart, and you'll hit five startups that have SOC 2 reports, and the amount that you need to show that you're ready to sell to these companies has changed.Corey: I think that there's a definite broadening of the use case. And I've been trying to avoid it, but let's go diving right into it. I used to view Tailscale as, oh it's a VPN. The end. Then it became something more where it effectively became the mesh overlay where all of the various things that I have that speak Tailscale—which is frankly, a disturbing number of things that I'd previously considered to be appliances—all talk to one another over a dedicated network, and as a result, can do really neat things where I don't have to spend hours on end configuring weird firewall rules.It's more secure, it's a lot simpler, and it seems like every time I get that understanding down, you folks do something that causes me to yet again reevaluate where you stand. Most recently, I was doing something horrifying in front-end work, and in VS Code the Tailscale extension popped up. “Oh, it looks like you're running a local development server. Would you like to use Tailscale Funnel to make it available to the internet?” And my response to that is, “Good lord, no, I'm ashamed of it, but thanks for asking.” Every time I think I get it, I have to reevaluate where it stands in the ecosystem. What is Tailscale now? I feel like I should get the official description of what you are.Maya: Well, I sure hope I'm not the official description. I think the closest is a little bit of what you're saying: a mesh overlay network for your infrastructure, or a programmable network that lets you mesh together your users and services and services and services, no matter where they are, including across different infrastructure providers and, to your point, on a long list of devices you might have running. People are running Tailscale on self-driving cars, on robots, on satellites, on elevators, but they're also running Tailscale on Linux running in AWS or a MacBook they have sitting under their desk or whatever it happens to be. The phrase that I like to use for that is, like, infrastructure agnostic. We're just a building block.Your infrastructure can be whatever infrastructure you want. You can have the cheapest GPUs from this cloud, or you can use the Android phone to train the model that you have sitting on your desk. We just help you connect all that stuff together so you can build your own cloud whatever way you want. To your point, that's not really a VPN [laugh]. The word VPN doesn't quite do it justice. For the remote access to prod use case, so like a user, specifically, like, a developer infra team to a production network, that probably looks the most like a zero-trust solution, but we kind of blur a lot of the lines there for what we can do.Corey: Yeah, just looking at it, at the moment, I have a bunch of Raspberries Pi, perhaps, hanging out on my tailnet. I have currently 14 machines on there, I have my NAS downstairs, I have a couple of EC2 instances, a Google Cloud instance, somewhere, I finally shut down my old Oracle Cloud instance, my pfSense box speaks it natively. I have a Thinkst Canary hanging out on there to detect if anything starts going ridiculously weird, my phone, my iPad, and a few other things here and there. And they all just talk seamlessly over the same network. I can identify them via either IP address, if I'm old, or via DNS if I want to introduce problems that will surprise me at one point or another down the road.I mean, I even have an exit node I share with my brother's Tailscale account for reasons that most people would not expect, namely that he is an American who lives abroad. So, many weird services like banks or whatnot, “Oh, you can't log in to check your bank unless you're coming from US IP space.” He clicks a button, boom, now he doesn't get yelled at to check his own accounts. Which is probably not the primary use case you'd slap on your website, but it's one of those solving everyday things in somewhat weird ways.Maya: Oh, yeah. I worked at a bank maybe ten years ago, and they would block—this little bank on the east coast of the US—they would block connections from Hawaii because why would any of your customers ever be in Hawaii? And it was like, people travel and maybe you're—Corey: How can you be in Hawaii? You don't have a passport.Maya: [laugh]. People travel. They still need to do banking. Like, it doesn't change, yeah. The internet, we've built a lot of weird controls that are IP-based, that don't really make any sense, that aren't reflective. And like, that's true for individuals—like you're describing, people who travel and need to bank or whatever they need to do when they travel—and for corporations, right? Like the old concept—this is all back to the zero trust stuff—but like, the old concept that you were trusted just because you had an IP address that was in the corp IP range is just not true anymore, right? Somebody can walk into your office and connect to the Wi-Fi and a legitimate employee can be doing their job from home or from Starbucks, right? Those are acceptable ways to work nowadays.Corey: One other thing that I wanted to talk about is, I know that in previous discussions with you folks—sometimes on the podcast sometimes when I more or less corner someone a Tailscale at your developer conference—one of the things that you folks talk about is Tailscale SSH, which is effectively a drop-in replacement for the SSH binary on systems. Full disclosure, I don't use it, mostly because I'm grumpy and I'm old. I also like having some form of separation of duties where you're the network that ties it all together, but something else winds up acting as that authentication step. That said, if I were that interesting that someone wanted to come after me, there are easier ways to get in, so I'm mostly just doing this because I'm persnickety. Are you seeing significant adoption of Tailscale SSH?Maya: I think there's a couple of features that are missing in Tailscale SSH for it to be as adopted by people like you. The main one that I would say is—so right now if you use Tailscale SSH, it runs a binary on the host, you can use your Tailscale credentials, and your Tailscale private key, effectively, to SSH something else. So, you don't have to manage a separate set of SSH keys or certs or whatever it is you want to do to manage that in your network. Your identity provider identity is tied to Tailscale, and then when you connect to that device, we still need to have an identity on the host itself, like in Unix. Right now, that's not tied to Tailscale. You can adopt an identity of something else that's already on the host, but it's not, like, corey@machine.And I think that's the number one request that we're getting for Tailscale SSH, to be able to actually generate or tie to the individual users on the host for an identity that comes from, like, Google, or GitHub, or Okta, or something like that. I'm not hearing a lot of feedback on the security concerns that you're expressing. I think part of that is that we've done a lot of work around security in general so that you feel like if Tailscale were to be compromised, your network wouldn't need to be compromised. So, Tailscale itself is end-to-end encrypted using WireGuard. We only see your public keys; the private keys remain on the device.So, in some sense the, like, quote-unquote, “Worst” that we could do would be to add a node to your network and then start to generate traffic from that or, like, mess with the configuration of your network. These are questions that have come up. In terms of adding nodes to your network, we have a feature called tailnet lock that effectively lets you sign and verify that all the nodes on your network are supposed to be there. One of the other concerns that I've heard come up is, like, what if the binary was compromised. We develop in open-source so you can see that that's the case, but like, you know, there's certainly more stuff we could be doing there to prevent, for example, like a software supply chain security attack. Yeah.Corey: Yeah, but you also have taken significant architectural steps to ensure that you are not placed in a position of undue trust around a lot of these things. Most recently, you raised a Series B, that was $100 million, and the fact that you have not gone bankrupt in the year since that happened tells me that you are very clearly not routing all customer traffic through you folks, at least on one of the major cloud providers. And in fact, a little bit of playing a-slap-and-tickle with Wireshark affirm this, that the nodes talk to each other; they do not route their traffic through you folks, by design. So one, great for the budget, I have respect for that data transfer pattern, but also it means that you are in the position of being a global observer in a way that can be, in many cases, exploited.Maya: I think that's absolutely correct. So, it was 18 months ago or so that we raised our Series B. When you use Tailscale, your traffic connects peer-to-peer directly between nodes on your network. And that has a couple of nice properties, some of what you just described, which is that we don't see your traffic. I mean, one, because it's end-to-end encrypted, but even if we could capture it, and then—we're not in the way of capturing it, let alone decrypting it.Another nice property it has is just, like, latency, right? If your user is in the UK, and they're trying to access something in Scotland, it's not, you know, hair-pinning, bouncing all the way to the West Coast or something like that. It doesn't have to go through one of our servers to get there. Another nice property that comes with that is availability. So, if our network goes down, if our control plane goes down, you're temporarily not able to add nodes or change your configuration, but everything in your network can still connect to each other, so you're not dependent on us being online in order for your network to work.And this is actually coming up more and more in customer conversations where that's a differentiator for us versus a competitor. Different competitors, also. There's a customer case study on our website about somebody who was POC'ing us with a different option, and literally during the POC, the competitor had an outage, unfortunately for them, and we didn't, and they sort of looked at our model, our deployment model and went, “Huh, this really matters to us.” And not having an outage on our network with this solution seems like a better option.Corey: Yeah, when the network is down, the computers all turn into basically space heaters.Maya: [laugh]. Yeah, as long as they're not down because, I guess, unplugged or something. But yeah, [laugh] I completely agree. Yeah. But I think there's a couple of these kinds of, like, enterprise things that people are—we're starting to do a better job of explaining and meeting customers where they are, but it's also people are realizing actually does matter when you're deploying something at this scale that's such a key part of your network.So, we talked a bit about availability, we talked a bit about things like latency. On the security side, there's a lot that we've done around, like I said, tailnet lock or that type of thing, but it's like some of the basic security features. Like, when I joined Tailscale, probably the first thing I shipped in some sense as a PM was a change log. Here's the change log of everything that we're shipping as part of these releases so that you can have confidence that we're telling you what's going on in your network, when new features are coming out, and you can trust us to be part of your network, to be part of your infrastructure.Corey: I do want to further call out that you have a—how should I frame this—a typically active security notification page.Maya: [laugh].Corey: And I think it is easy to misconstrue that as look at how terrifyingly insecure this is? Having read through it, I would argue that it is not that you are surprisingly insecure, but rather that you are extraordinarily transparent about things that are relatively minor issues. And yes, they should get fixed, but, “Oh, that could be a problem if six other things happen to fall into place just the right way.” These are not security issues of the type, “Yeah, so it turns out that what we thought was encrypting actually wasn't and we're just expensive telnet.” No, there's none of that going on.It's all been relatively esoteric stuff, but you also address it very quickly. And that is odd, as someone who has watched too many enterprise-facing companies respond to third-party vulnerability reports with rather than fixing the problem, more or less trying to get them not to talk about it, or if they do, to talk about it only using approved language. I don't see any signs of that with what you've done there. Was that a challenging internal struggle for you to pull off?Maya: I think internally, it was recognizing that security was such an important part of our value proposition that we had to be transparent. But once we kind of got past that initial hump, we've been extremely transparent, as you say. We think we can build trust through transparency, and that's the most important thing in how we respond to security incidents. But code is going to have bugs. It's going to have security bugs. There's nothing you can do to prevent that from happening.What matters is how you—and like, you should. Like, you should try to catch them early in the development process and, you know, shift left and all that kind of stuff, but some things are always going to happen [laugh] and what matters in that case is how you respond to them. And having another, you know, an app update that just says “Bug fixes” doesn't help you figure out whether or not you should actually update, it doesn't actually help you trust us. And so, being as public and as transparent as possible about what's actually happening, and when we respond to security issues and how we respond to security issues is really, really important to us. We have a policy that talks about when we will publish a bulletin.You can subscribe to our bulletins. We'll proactively email anyone who has a security contact on file, or alternatively, another contact that we have if you haven't provided us a security contact when you're subject to an issue. I think by far and large, like, Tailscale has more security bulletins just because we're transparent about them. It's like, we probably have as many bugs as anybody else does. We're just lucky that people report them to us because they see us react to them so quickly, and then we're able to fix them, right? It's a net positive for everyone involved.Corey: It's one of those hard problems to solve for across the board, just because I've seen companies in the past get more or less brutalized by the tech press when they have been overly transparent. I remember that there was a Reuters article years ago about Slack, for example, because they would pull up their status history and say, “Oh, look at all of these issues here. You folks can't keep your website up.” But no, a lot of it was like, “Oh, file uploads for a small subset of our users is causing a problem,” and so on and so forth. These relatively minor issues that, in aggregate, are very hard to represent when you're using traffic light signaling.So, then you see people effectively going full-on AWS status page where there's a significant outage lasting over a day, last month, and what you see on this is if you go really looking for it is this yellow thing buried in his absolute sea of green lights, even though that was one of the more disruptive things to have happened this year. So, it's a consistent and constant balance, and I really have a lot of empathy no matter where you wind up landing on that?Maya: Yeah, I think that's—you're saying it's sort of about transparency or being able to find the right information. I completely agree. And it's also about building trust, right? If we set expectations as to how we will respond to these things then we consistently respond to them, people believe that we're going to keep doing that. And that is almost more important than, like, committing to doing that, if that makes any sense.I remember having a conversation many years ago with an eng manager I worked with, and we were debating what the SLO for a particular service should be. And he sort of made an interesting point. He's like, “It doesn't really matter what the SLO is. It matters what you actually do because then people are going to start expecting [laugh] what you actually do.” So, being able to point at this and say, “Yes, here's what we say and here's what we actually do in practice,” I think builds so much more trust in how we respond to these kinds of things and how seriously we take security.I think one of the other things that came out of the security work is we realized—and I think you talked to Avery, the CEO of Tailscale on a prior podcast about some of this stuff—but we realized that platforms are broken, and we don't have a great way of pushing automatic updates on a lot of platforms, right? You know, if you're using the macOS store, or the Android Play Store, or iOS or whatever, you can automatically update your client when there is a security issue. On other platforms, you're kind of stuck. And so, as a result of us wanting to make sure that the fleet is as updated as possible, we've actually built an auto-update feature that's available on all of our major clients now, so people can opt in to getting those updates as quickly as needed when there is a security issue. We want to expose people to as little risk as possible.Corey: I am not a Tailscale customer. And that bugs me because until I cross that chasm into transferring $1 every month from my bank account to yours, I'm just a whiny freeloader in many respects, which is not at all how you folks who never made me feel I want to be very clear on that. But I believe in paying for the services that empower me to do my job more effectively, and Tailscale absolutely qualifies.Maya: Yeah, understood, I think that you still provide value to us in ways that aren't your data, but then in ways that help our business. One of them is that people like you tend to bring Tailscale to work. They tend to have a good experience at home connecting to their Synology, helping their brother connect to his bank account, whatever it happens to be, and they go, “Oh.” Something kind of clicks, and then they see a problem at work that looks very similar, and then they bring it to work. That is our primary path of adoption.We are a bottom-up adoption, you know, product-led growth product [laugh]. So, we have a blog post called “How Our Free Plan Stays Free” that covers some of that. I think the second thing that I don't want to undersell that a user like you also does is, you have a problem, you hit an issue, and you write into support, and you find something that nobody else has found yet [laugh].Corey: I am very good at doing that entirely by accident.Maya: [laugh]. But that helps us because that means that we see a problem that needs to get fixed, and we can catch it way sooner than before it's deployed, you know, at scale, at a large bank, and you know, it's a critical, kind of, somebody's getting paged kind of issue, right? We have a couple of bugs like that where we need, you know, we need a couple of repros from a couple different people in a couple different situations before we can really figure out what's going on. And having a wide user base who is happy to talk to us really helps us.Corey: I would say it goes beyond that, too. I have—I see things in the world of Tailscale that started off as features that I requested. One of the more recent ones is, it is annoying to me to see on the Tailscale machines list everything I have joined to the tailnet with that silly little up arrow next to it of, “Oh, time to go back and update Tailscale to the latest,” because that usually comes with decent benefits. Great, I have to go through iteratively, or use Ansible, or something like that. Well, now there's a Tailscale update option where it will keep itself current on supported operating systems.For some unknown reason, you apparently can't self-update the application on iOS or macOS. Can't imagine why. But those things tend to self-update based upon how the OS works due to all the sandboxing challenges. The only challenge I've got now is a few things that are, more or less, embedded devices that are packaged by the maintainer of that embedded system, where I'm beholden to them. Only until I get annoyed enough to start building a CI/CD system to replace their package.Maya: I can't wait till you build that CI/CD system. That'll be fun.Corey: “We wrote this code last night. Straight to the bank with it.” Yeah, that sounds awesome.Maya: [laugh] You'd get a couple of term sheets for that, I'm sure.Corey: There are. I am curious, looping back to the start of our conversation, we talked about enterprise security requirements, but how do you address enterprise change management? I find that that's something an awful lot of companies get dreadfully wrong. Most recently and most noisily on my part is Slack, a service for which I paid thousands of dollars a year, decided to roll out a UI redesign that, more or less, got in the way of a tremendous number of customers and there was no way to stop it or revert it. And that made me a lot less likely to build critical-flow business processes that depended upon Slack behaving a certain way.Just, “Oh, we decided to change everything in the user interface today just for funsies.” If Microsoft pulled that with Excel, by lunchtime they'd have reverted it because an entire universe of business users would have marched on Redmond to burn them out otherwise. That carries significant cost for businesses. Yet I still see Tailscale shipping features just as fast as you ever have. How do you square that circle?Maya: Yeah. I think there's two different kinds of change management really, which is, like—because if you think about it, it's like, an enterprise needs a way to roll out a product or a feature internally and then separately, we need a way to roll out new things to customers, right? And so, I think on the Tailscale side, we have a change log that tells you about everything that's changing, including new features, and including changes to the client. We update that religiously. Like, it's a big deal, if something doesn't make it the day that it's supposed to make it. We get very kind of concerned internally about that.A couple of things that were—that are in that space, right, we just talked about auto-updates to make it really easy for you to maintain what's actually rolled out in your infrastructure, but more importantly, for us to push changes with a new client release. Like, for example, in the case of a security incident, we want to be able to publish a version and get it rolled out to the fleet as quickly as possible. Some of the things that we don't have here, but although I hear requests for is the ability to, like, gradually roll out features to a customer. So like, “Can we change the configuration for 10% of our network and see if anything breaks before rolling back, right before rolling forward.” That's a very traditional kind of infra change management thing, but not something I've ever seen in, sort of, the networking security space to this degree, and something that I'm hearing a lot of customers ask for.In terms of other, like, internal controls that a customer might have, we have a feature called ACL Tests. So, if you're going to change the configuration of who can access what in your network, you can actually write tests. Like, your permission file is written in HuJSON and you can write a set of things like, Corey should be able to access prod. Corey should not be able to access test, or whatever it happens to be—actually, let's flip those around—and when you have a policy change that doesn't pass those tests, you actually get told right away so you're not rolling that out and accidentally breaking a large part of your network. So, we built several things into the product to do it. In terms of how we notify customers, like I said, that the primary method that we have right now is something like a change log, as well as, like, security bulletins for security updates.Corey: Yeah, it's one of the challenges, on some level, of the problem of oh, I'm going to set up a service, and then I'm going to go sail around the world, and when I come back in a year or two—depending on how long I spent stranded on an island somewhere—now I get to figure out what has changed. And to your credit, you have to affirmatively enable all of the features that you have shipped, but you've gone from, “Oh, it's a mesh network where everything can talk to each other,” to, “I can use an exit node from that thing. Oh, now I can seamlessly transfer files from one node to another with tail drop,” to, “Oh, Tailscale Funnel. Now, I can expose my horrifying developer environment to the internet.” I used that one year to give a talk at a conference, just because why not?Maya: [crosstalk 00:27:35].Corey: Everything evolves to become [unintelligible 00:27:37] email on Microsoft Outlook, or tries to be Microsoft Excel? Oh, no, no. I want you to be building Microsoft PowerPoint for me. And we eventually get there, but that is incredibly powerful functionality, but also terrifying when you think you have a handle on what's going on in a large-scale environment, and suddenly, oh, there's a whole new vector we need to think about. Which is why your—the thought and consideration you put into that is so apparent and so, frankly, welcome.Maya: Yeah, you actually kind of made a statement there that I completely missed, which is correct, which is, we don't turn features on by default. They are opt-in features. We will roll out features by default after they've kind of baked for an incredibly long period of time and with, like, a lot of fanfare and warning. So, the example that I'll give is, we have a DNS feature that was probably available for maybe 18 months before we turned it on by default for new tailnets. So didn't even turn it on for existing folks. It's called Magic DNS.We don't want to touch your configuration or your network. We know people will freak out when that happens. Knowing, to your point, that you can leave something for a year and come back, and it's going to be the same is really important. For everyone, but for an enterprise customer as well. Actually, one other thing to mention there. We have a bunch of really old versions of clients that are running in production, and we want them to keep working, so we try to be as backward compatible as possible.I think the… I think we still have clients from 2019 that are running and connecting to corp that nobody's updated. And like, it'd be great if they would update them, but like, who knows what situation they're in and if they can connect to them, and all that kind of stuff, but they still work. And the point is that you can have set it up four years ago, and it should still work, and you should still be able to connect to it, and leave it alone and come back to it in a year from now, and it should still work and [laugh] still connect without anything changing. That's a very hard guarantee to be able to make.Corey: And yet, somehow you've been able to do that, just from the perspective of not—I've never yet seen you folks make a security-oriented decision that I'm looking at and rolling my eyes and amazed that you didn't make the decision the other way. There are a lot of companies that while intending very well have done, frankly, very dumb things. I've been keeping an eye on you folks for a long time, and I would have caught that in public. I just haven't seen anything like that. It's kind of amazing.Last year, I finally took the extraordinary step of disabling SSH access anywhere except the tailnet to a number of my things. It lets my logs fill up a lot less, and you've built to that level of utility-like reliability over the series of longtime experimentation. I have yet to regret having Tailscale in the mix, which is, frankly, not something I can say about almost any product.Maya: Yeah. I'm very proud to hear that. And like, maintaining that trust—back to a lot of the conversation about security and reliability and stuff—is incredibly important to us, and we put a lot of effort into it.Corey: I really appreciate your taking the time to talk to me about how things continue to evolve over there. Anything that's new and exciting that might have gotten missed? Like, what has come out in, I guess, the last six months or so that are relevant to the business and might be useful for people looking to use it themselves?Maya: I was hoping you're going to ask me what came out in the last, you know, 20 minutes while we were talking, and the answer is probably nothing, but you never know. But [laugh]—Corey: With you folks, I wouldn't doubt it. Like, “Oh, yeah, by the way, we had to do a brand treatment redo refresh,” or something on the website? Why not? It now uses telepathy just because.Maya: It could, that'd be pretty cool. No, I mean, lots has gone on in the last six months. I think some of the things that might be more interesting to your listeners, we're now in the AWS Marketplace, so if you want to purchase Tailscale through AWS Marketplace, you can. We have a Kubernetes operator that we've released, which lets you both ingress and egress from a Kubernetes cluster to things that are elsewhere in the world on other infrastructure, and also access the Kubernetes control plane and the API server via Tailscale. I mentioned auto-updates. You mentioned the VS Code extension. That's amazing, the fact that you can kind of connect directly from within VS Code to things on your tailnet. That's a lot of the exciting stuff that we've been doing. And there's boring stuff, you know, like audit log streaming, and that kind of stuff. But it's good.Corey: Yeah, that stuff is super boring until suddenly, it's very, very exciting. And those are not generally good days.Maya: [laugh]. Yeah, agreed. It's important, but boring. But important.Corey: [laugh]. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to talk through all the stuff that you folks are up to. If people want to learn more, where's the best place for them to go to get started?Maya: tailscale.com is the best place to go. You can download Tailscale from there, get access to our documentation, all that kind of stuff.Corey: Yeah, I also just want to highlight that you can buy my attention but never my opinion on things and my opinion on Tailscale remains stratospherically high, so thank you for not making me look like a fool, by like, “Yes. And now we're pivoting to something horrifying is a business model and your data.” Thank you for not doing exactly that.Maya: Yeah, we'll keep doing that. No, no, blockchains in our future.Corey: [laugh]. Maya Kaczorowski, Chief Product Officer at Tailscale. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn, and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

It's a very strange notation, so I'll probably never use it.

These would fall under the "natural language" operators, in that they read like normal human language, not computer jargon. But, my suggestion is somewhat fraudulent considering the fact that I never use the natural language operators in ColdFusion.

LogBox is also part of the ColdBox Platform suite of services and libraries. It allows you to easily build upon it's logging framework to meet any logging or reporting needs your applications have. LogBox surpasses ColdFusion's very basic cflog tag. LogBox allows you to create multiple destinations for your loggings and even configure multiple destinations or change them at runtime.Almost every application needs logging and/or tracing capabilities, and we have developed LogBox to satisfy these needs. Although you should not over-use logging as it can slow down an application, LogBox allows you to filter out or cancel logging noise.Great integrations available on ForgeBox like Sentry etchttps://logbox.ortusbooks.com/https://www.forgebox.io/view/logbox VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Week11/23/23 Docker - v1.28.0Lots of updates since we last covered this extension in 2019!!!!The Docker extension makes it easy to build, manage, and deploy containerized applications from Visual Studio Code. It also provides one-click debugging of Node.js, Python, and .NET inside a container. You can get IntelliSense when editing your Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files, with completions and syntax help for common commands. Docker Compose lets you define and run multi-container applications with Docker. Our Compose Language Service in the Docker extension gives you IntelliSense and tab completions when authoring docker-compose.yml files. Press Ctrl+Space to see a list of valid Compose directives. The Docker extension contributes a Docker Explorer view to VS Code. The Docker Explorer lets you examine and manage Docker assets: containers, images, volumes, networks, and container registries. If the Azure Account extension is installed, you can browse your Azure Container Registries as well. The right-click menu provides access to commonly used commands for each type of asset. You can run Docker commands to manage images, networks, volumes, image registries, and Docker Compose. In addition, the Docker: Prune System command will remove stopped containers, dangling images, and unused networks and volumes. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-azuretools.vscode-docker 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.

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

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

In ColdFusion, we have ColdFusion Components (CFCs) that can be instantiated to create objects.Anyone who has ever studied OOP must know that there are four main concepts, which are: Abstraction Encapsulation Inheritance Polymorphism https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294629892/CFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comRecent Releases Into the Box 2023 Videos is available for purchase as an EXCLUSIVE PREMIUM package. https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2023  Subscribers will get access to premium packages after a 6 month exclusive window.

I wanted to share that I've put together a fully functional DataTable implemented almost entirely in CFML using CBWIRE.The DataTable has the following features that were built from the ground up:Single CBWIRE Component ( wires/Datatable.cfm - provides all functionality )List NES gamesSet the number of games displayed per pagePaginationReset button to start overClick anywhere on the row to select a gameSelect all games listedSearch field to match any columnSort columns by ascending or descendingSelect games by checkboxShift+Click to select multiple gamesFavorite games(s) w/ confirmationThe repo has everything you need, including an already-seeded Sqlite database with NES Game data. Just run a couple of commands ( noted in the README ) and give it a try. :smiley:Enjoy!https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/datatable-example-with-cbwire/9758https://github.com/grantcopley/cbwire-datatable-example08/30/2023 - Blog - Brian (HoyaHaxa) - CVE-2023-29301: Adobe ColdFusion Access Control Bypass for a CFAdmin Authentication ComponentIn this post I'll be walking though CVE-2023-29301, which is an access control bypass / password brute force vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion that I reported to Adobe and was fixed on July 11, 2023 in Adobe Product Security Bulletin APSB23-40.  Note that this is an access control bypass and is not an authentication bypass vulnerability.  https://hoyahaxa.blogspot.com/2023/08/technical-details-for-cve-2023-29301.html08/31/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using CFLoop To Iterate Over A File Line-By-Line In ColdFusionYesterday, at work, I had to take a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file with 4.7 million lines of data in it and break it up into smaller files that each had 25K lines of data. I don't do a lot of file I/O (Input, Output) at work, so I'm a bit rusty. I ended up using the fileOpen(), fileReadLine(), and fileClose() functions to imperatively iterate over the file without reading it fully into memory. It wasn't until after I was done that I remembered the CFLoop tag can actually do all of that for me declaratively in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4507-using-cfloop-to-iterate-over-a-file-line-by-line-in-coldfusion.htm09/01/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Seekable Read Files In ColdFusionYesterday, when I was looking at how to loop over a file using CFLoop, I came across an old post of mine in which Raymond Camden mentioned the fileSeek() function. In all my years of ColdFusion, I've never used fileSeek() - which allows us to jump to an arbitrary offset within a file. I believe that fileSeek() works with both readable and writable files; however, the documentation on this is unclear. For this post, I'm looking at using seekable read files in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4508-using-seekable-read-files-in-coldfusion.htm09/02/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Labeled Loops In ColdFusionThe other day, I was watching a tutorial on the Svelte JavaScript framework and I saw that they used the $: notation to denote reactive values. I believe that this is just an old JavaScript feature for labeling parts of the code (which Svelte is then overloading). I've never used that JavaScript feature myself; but, it did remind me that some of this labeling concept is also available in ColdFusion as well, specifically for loops. I've never used this feature in ColdFusion either; so, I thought it might be worth a quick exploration.I couldn't find much on how this feature actually works outside of this article on the ColdFusion blog. The idea is that you can add a label to either a for or a while loop; and then, consume that label in either a break or a continue statement. Essentially, you can tell ColdFusion which loop you are referencing in your break / continue statements.Which is really only meaningful if you have nested loops. Otherwise, the break and continue statements simply reference the one contextual loop that you are in.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4509-using-labeled-loops-in-coldfusion.htm09/03/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Including CSS File Content Using CFInclude In ColdFusionIn my first pass at building Dig Deep Fitness - my ColdFusion fitness tracker - I'm using a traditional, multi-page application (MPA) approach. Which means, every navigation is a full-page refresh. This is slower than a single-page application (SPA). As such, in order to help decrease page load times - especially on first load - I'm rendering my temporary CSS directly in the page tag. This way, the browser doesn't need to block-and-request the .css file in a separate HTTP request. And, to keep things super simple, I'm doing this with the CFInclude tag; which, in ColdFusion, can include any kind of text file.Normally, when we use the CFInclude tag, we're including a ColdFusion file. Specifically, a .cfm file. ColdFusion will then compile this file down into byte code, execute it (as ColdFusion code), and then append the output to the current page output.But, there's nothing that says the referenced template has to be a .cfm file. In fact, you can include any text file and ColdFusion will happily compile and execute it. In my case, to cut down on network requests, I'm using CFInclude to include a .css file.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4510-including-css-file-content-using-cfinclude-in-coldfusion.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 94 ColdFusion positions from 61 companies across 41 locations in 5 Countries.4 new jobs listed in the last two weeksFull-Time - ColdFusion Programmer in Tulsa, OKJackson Technical L.L.CPosted: August 23, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Programmer-at-Tulsa-OK/11596Full-Time - ColdFusion programmer in Washington, DCV3VisionsPosted: August 24, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-programmer-at-Washington-DC/11597Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer | 4 to 6 years in Mumbai, Maharashtra, IndiaCapgeminiPosted: August 25, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-4-to-6-years-Mumbai-at-Mumbai-Maharashtra/11598Full-Time - ColdFusion programmer at Remote, USGeoCivixPosted: August 30, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFMLDev-at-Remote-US/11602Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekIPby Ryan AlbrechtThis ip package will help you retrieve info for a given ip and subnet.

GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST.In ColdFusion 2023 we are providing a native method of consuming and sending data across GraphQL using GQL. This includes support for fragments, variables, aliases, queries, mutations, subscriptions and more.Also, this talk will go over on why to use Graph QL over REST APIs.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294631289/Adobe Upcoming EventsWebinar - Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 202310:00 AM PDTOnline EventMark Takatahttps://google-cloud-platform-adobe-coldfusion.meetus.adobeevents.com/ During the Road to Fortuna Series: Exploring the New Google Cloud Platform Features webinar, Mark Takata will explore the new native hooks that Adobe ColdFusion is adding to work with the Google Cloud Platform.

As someone who had (?has?) to support IE11 up until the very end, CSS Flexbox became my go-to for complex layouts. However, even with years of Flexbox experience under my belt, I'm not always confident that I understand exactly how it will behave when it contains overflowing content. One scenario in which I've been using Flexbox recently is to create a dynamic set of "panels". Consider a set of side-by-side panels in which one panel is dynamically added or removed to and from the DOM (Document Object Model), respectively. Is it safe to apply overflow:auto to these CSS Flexbox panels?https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4499-sanity-check-using-overflow-scrolling-on-css-flexbox-panels.htm08/13/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Error "Type" Isn't Always A String In Adobe ColdFusionYesterday, while working on Dig Deep Fitness, my ColdFusion fitness tracker, I accidentally consumed an ordered struct as if it were an array. As expected, ColdFusion threw an error; however, my centralized error handling logic broke because the type property of the thrown error was not a string, it was a complex Java object. I don't think I'd ever run into this issue before - I've always believed that the type, message, detail, and extendedInfo properties were guaranteed to be a string. I guess not.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4500-error-type-isnt-always-a-string-in-adobe-coldfusion.htmHere's your joke translation for the day: https://twitter.com/Updates4Devs/status/169068193489081958408/16/2023 - Blog - Brad Wood - Use CommandBox's rate limiter on only certain requestsThis came up in conversation internally at Ortus today and I wanted to write it down somewhere public. There has already been a setting in CommandBox for some time called web.maxRequests in the server.json to limit the total number of concurrently-running requests for the entire server. Once this pool is full, any additional incoming requests will be queued until there are free threads available.The problem scenario is what if you allow 25 concurrent requests (max threads) and someone whacks the refresh button 30 times on a report that takes 5 minutes to run? Well, all your available threads will be busy for the next 5 minutes and your site won't respond to other requests in the meantime, even if they are quick ones.The same potential scenario goes for CommandBox 6's new multi-site mode. The worker thread pool in Undertow is global and applies to all sites. That means if you have 2 sites and allow 100 concurrent requests and site 1 is using all of them, there will be no threads left to process any requests for site 2.The solution to both of these scenarios is a server rule that is built into Undertow called request-limit(). You can specify a request limit for an entire site or even for a specific type of request.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/use-commandboxs-rate-limiter-on-only-certain-requests/9750CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 87 ColdFusion positions from 58 companies across 41 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed in the last two weeksFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Quincy, MAPosted: August 09, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-Quincy-MA/11594Full-Time - Coldfusion at Thiruvananthapuram, KeralaPosted: August 18, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/Coldfusion-at-Thiruvananthapuram-Kerala/11595Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekRemember Meby David LevinRememberMe is a Coldbox module designed to work in conjunction with your authentication system to "remember" and automatically log in users on subsequent website visits.https://forgebox.io/view/rememberMeVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Weeki18n AllyAll in one i18n extension for VS CodeSupports multi-root workspacesSupports remote developmentSupports numerous popular frameworksSupports linked locale messagesUses i18n for the extension itself, of course.

News and AnnouncementsPassing the Baton: Lucee 5.4 and Hibernate ORMAs of Lucee 5.4.1.8, new Lucee builds will no longer bundle the (Lucee) Hibernate extension. This means that if you rely on Hibernate ORM in your CFML application, you will need to manually bundle the Hibernate extension into your Lucee server. Let's read on for more info.The NewsFirst, let's start with the official note from the Lucee 5.4.1.8 Stable Release notes (courtesy of Zac Spitzer):Lucee ORM is no longer being developed or bundled by the Lucee Team, Ortus have forked and taken over the development of ORM for Lucee, see Introducing: The Ortus ORM Extension.It seems that Lucee has made the decision to 1) trim the Lucee installation size by no longer bundling the Hibernate extension with new Lucee installations, and to 2) halt further development on the Lucee Hibernate extension. It is unclear whether "no longer being developed" is referring to new features only, or whether that includes bug fixes and security patches as well.This news means that Micha and the LAS team can focus on the Lucee server platform, bringing you speed and stability, while Ortus provides the Hibernate integration for a powerful database ORM layer.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/passing-the-baton-lucee-6-and-hibernate-ormNew Releases and UpdatesColdBox v7.1.0ColdBox 7.1 introduces several new features that expand the capabilities of the framework and facilitate better development practices:Scheduled Tasks DebuggingYou can now add a debug argument to your task definitions, and your console will add tons of debugging for your tasks:`task( name : "My Task", debug : true )`toRedirectTo() MatcherYou can now use this matcher to test relocations in a nice fluent expectation:`expect( event ).toRedirectTo( "main.index" )`REST on{errorType}Exception() ConventionThanks to our very own Gavin Pickin you can now create exception handlers in your REST Handlers that follow the on{type}Exception() convention and you can listen to specific error type exceptions:`function onTypeMismatchException( event, rc, prc )`https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-710-releasedTestBox v5.2.0 and v5.3.0v5.2.0New FeaturesFaster Performance with Updated MixerUtilTESTBOX-375Introduces enhancements to the MixerUtil module, resulting in faster performance during dynamic mixins and enhancing the flexibility of your test suites.More Control with bundlesPattern in TestBox InitTESTBOX-376Adds the bundlesPattern parameter to testbox.system.TestBox's init method. This new addition gives you greater control over defining the pattern for your test bundles, making test organization a breeze.Introducing TestBox ModulesTESTBOX-377Brings a game-changing feature to TestBox - Modules support! Now you can create and utilize modules to extend TestBox's capabilities, opening up endless possibilities for tailored testing workflows.

With the toBeIn() expectation, you can easily check if the expected needle exists in the target. Additionally, toBeInWithCase() performs a case-sensitive check for the needle in the target. These powerful expectations enhance your testing capabilities and streamline the validation of data within your tests.New Matchers and Assertions for String StartTESTBOX-380With these new matchers and assertions, namely toStartWith(), toStartWithCase(), startsWith(), and startsWithCase(), you can validate whether a string begins with an expected prefix. These matchers come with their appropriate negations, allowing you to easily test and verify the starting points of strings in your application.New Matchers and Assertions for String EndTESTBOX-381TestBox v5.3 introduces powerful matchers for checking the end of strings. The new matchers include toEndWith(), toEndWithCase(), endsWith(), and endsWithCase(). These matchers enable you to confirm the presence of an expected suffix in a given string, making it convenient to test the endings of strings during your test suite executions.Bug FixesonSpecError suiteSpecs CorrectionTESTBOX-378In previous versions, there was a minor issue with onSpecError, where the suiteSpecs attribute was mistakenly referred to as suiteStats. With TestBox v5.3, we have fixed this bug, and the attribute is now correctly recognized as suiteSpecs. This ensures that error reporting and handling in your test suites function as expected, providing you with accurate and helpful feedback during testing.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v52-release-embracing-performance-and-extensibilityhttps://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/testbox-v53-releaseOrtus Redis Extension v3.0.0We are very excited to bring you another release for our Redis Lucee Extension. This release: Updates the underlying Redis java driver from v2.9.3 to v4.4.3 Added SSL and username support to RedisClusterCache configuration Added username support to RedisCache ( non-cluster ) configuration These enhancements have been made to ensure full compatibility with both standalone Redis implementations, as well as AWS Elasticache configurations and authentication mechanisms.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/ortus-redis-extension-v300-releasedLucee Script Runner UpdatedThe Lucee Script Runner has been updated with some additional features:luceeVersionQueryYou can now specify a query string to run with the following syntax to select which version of Lucee you want to run, it overrides `luceeVersion`.CompilePassing in `-Dcompile=true` on the command line or compile: true will compile all the code under specified webrootThis is great for catching any invalid CFML during CI before it hits production, also great for checking your code against the latest 6 snapshot to catch any errors introduced which causes errors with your codebaseWindows Runner support for Github actionsThe `action.yml` has been updated to use Windows syntax for running script-runner. You can see examples in the image extension repo: https://github.com/lucee/extension-image/actionshttps://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-script-runner-version-query-compile-github-actions-windows-support/12865https://github.com/lucee/script-runnerWebinar / Meetups and WorkshopsICYMI — Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group — CF Scheduled Tasks: more than you may know, and shouldSpeaker: Charlie ArehartFriday July 28th, 2023 at 3pm PTIf folks were asked to discuss CF scheduled tasks, I suspect most would feel "there's not much 'to say", but there really is a lot more to working with them simply "setting a given url to run on a given schedule" (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance?).There are both more features than most realize, as well as solutions to common problems people can face when running them, and a lot of myths regarding old limitations that have since been lifted. In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with a focus on tools and techniques for solving common problems with them, then showing several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI).He'll then review several features of using tasks that you may have missed—to include distinguishing which few are NOT available in CF Standard.He'll also discuss briefly the underlying quartz open source framework that powers them (and offers still more extensibility), as well as the underlying neo-cron.xml file and tips for protecting that, and he'll even identify ways to control/allow access to managing tasks that may surprise many. He'll conclude with alternatives when the base features don't suit you.https://hawaiicoldfusionusergroup.adobeconnect.com/p6izv4ia43a7/Hawaii ColdFusion Meetup Group — Graph QL & ColdFusionSpeaker: Mark TakataFriday, August 25, 2023 @ 12 PM HAST (Hawaii Standard Time)GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to REST.In ColdFusion 2023 we are providing a native method of consuming and sending data across GraphQL using GQL. This includes support for fragments, variables, aliases, queries, mutations, subscriptions and more.Also, this talk will go over on why to use Graph QL over REST APIs.https://www.meetup.com/hawaii-coldfusion-meetup-group/events/294631289/Adobe Upcoming EventsAdobe ColdFusion Workshop WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 20239:00 AM EDTOnline EventBrian Sappeyhttps://adobecf-1day-workshop.meetus.adobeevents.com/Join the Adobe ColdFusion Workshop to learn how you and your agency can leverage ColdFusion to create amazing web content.

UTC is "the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time" (source). Date/Time values get stored in UTC and then - as needed - translated back into a given user's timezone during the rendering process. This is why, when I added the concept of "workout streaks" in Dig Deep Fitness (my ColdFusion fitness tracker), my initial instinct was to use UTC. Unfortunately, this approach quickly broke down.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4492-considering-utc-and-recording-activity-streak-data-in-coldfusion.htm07/27/2023 - Tweet X Post(?) - Brad Wood - Automated CommandBox Server TestsI've fully automated the tests in my CommandBox Server Tests repo. Now, with a single Task Runner, I can fire off hundreds of tests across dozens of servers to check for regressions. https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/commandbox-tests 07/31/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Auto-Saving Form Data In The Background Using The fetch() APIIn Dig Deep Fitness, my ColdFusion fitness tracker, the main gesture of the app is the "Perform Exercise" view. In this view, the user is presented with a series of inputs for resistance weights, reps, and notes. Depending on how fast a user is moving through their workout, they may be on this one view for several minutes without submitting the form back to the ColdFusion server. This "pending data" makes me nervous. As such, I've started auto-saving the form data in the background using JavaScript's fetch() API.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4494-auto-saving-form-data-in-the-background-using-the-fetch-api.htmBeacons : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Beacon_APILocalStorage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API/Using_the_Web_Storage_API08/02/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - My ColdFusion "Controller" Layer Is Just A Bunch Of Switch Statements And CFIncludesThe more experience I get, the more I appreciate using an appropriate amount of complexity when solving a problem. This is a big part of why I love ColdFusion so much: it allows one to easily scale-up in complexity if and when the requirements grow to warrant it. When I'm working on my own, I don't need a robust framework with all the bells-and-whistles. All I need is a simple dependency-injection strategy and a series of CFSwtich and CFInclude statements.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4497-my-coldfusion-controller-layer-is-just-a-bunch-of-switch-statements-and-cfincludes.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 85 ColdFusion positions from 56 companies across 39 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed in the last two weeksFull-Time - SIS New ColdFusion C1 - Pune, Maharashtra, IndiaPosted: July 26, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/SIS-New-ColdFusion-C1-at-Pune-Maharashtra/11592Full-Time - ColdFusion Developer - Washington, DC,  United StatesPosted: August 01, 2023https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-Washington-DC/11593Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekColdBox Vite & ColdBox Vite Helpers by Eric PetersonThis module provides a `vite` helper function in your views for loading files generated byVite and the coldbox-vite-plugin in your ColdBox applications.https://www.forgebox.io/view/vite-helpershttps://www.npmjs.com/package/coldbox-vite-pluginVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekHeadwindBy Ryan HeybournHeadwind is an opinionated Tailwind CSS class sorter for Visual Studio Code.

Language Servers underpin the language specific support we rely on in modern code editors. Lately, there have been new efforts in this area in the Elixir community. We talk with Steve Cohen about his project Lexical LS to learn about his new Elixir Language Server, how long he's been at it, and what it can do today. We learn about some of the technical challenges when creating a tool like this, and why there's still room for new projects in this area. Steve explains how Lexical LS is architected and that it is a goal to be easy to contribute to and work on the Lexical project itself. Time to give it a try!

They have a free-tier, so I signed up to try it out. And, I must say, I'm very pleased with the User Interface (UI) and the basic functionality. That said, I could not get the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) working with JavaLoader. As such, I hacked together some ColdFusion code that would do just enough to send data to the BugSnag API. What I have is far from feature complete; but, I thought it might be worth sharing.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4462-using-bugsnag-as-a-server-side-logging-service-in-coldfusion.htm 5/11/23 - Blog - Luis Majano - TestBox v5.0.0 Released!We are excited to announce the release of Testbox version 5, which brings a host of new features and improvements for developers.

November 1998), and CFMX_COMPAT was the only algorithm available.  The release of ColdFusion 7 (ca. February 2005) added native support for AES, 3DES, DES, and Blowfish.  But CFMX_COMPAT remains the default algorithm used by the encrypt() function.   https://hoyahaxa.blogspot.com/2023/05/why-you-dont-want-to-use-cfmxcompat.html 5/13/23 - Blog - Nolan Erck - Speaking at Into The Box 2023It's official...next week I'll be speaking at Into The Box in Houston!If you're not already familiar with it, Into The Box is the most modern leaning conference for CFML!

For the last few years, I've been using jSoup to clean-up and normalize my blog posts. And now, I'm looking to use jSoup to help me transform and cache GitHub Gists. At the time of this writing, Gist code is rendered in an HTML with cells that use white-space: pre as the means of controlling white space output. jSoup doesn't parse the CSS; so, it does understand that it needs to maintain this white space when serializing the document back into HTML. If we want to keep this white space in the resultant document, we have to disable pretty printing.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4463-maintaining-white-space-using-jsoup-and-coldfusion.htm5/16/23 - Blog - Adobe ColdFusion Portal - Introducing the 2023 Release of Adobe ColdFusionWe are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of Adobe ColdFusion 2023!  Packed with cutting-edge features and enhanced performance, this release takes ColdFusion to new heights of innovation.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2023/05/coldfusion2023-release/ 5/16/23 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - ColdBox 7.0.0 ReleasedIntroducing ColdBox 7: Revolutionizing Web Development with Cutting-Edge Features and Unparalleled PerformanceWe are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of ColdBox 7, the latest version of the acclaimed web development HMVC framework for ColdFusion (CFML). ColdBox 7 introduces groundbreaking features and advancements, elevating the development experience to new heights and empowering developers to create exceptional web applications and APIs.Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern web development, ColdBox 7 boasts a range of powerful features that streamline the development process and enhance productivity. With its robust HMVC architecture and developer-friendly tools, ColdBox 7 enables developers to deliver high-performance, scalable, and maintainable web applications and APIs with ease.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/coldbox-700-released 5/16/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Parsing GitHub Gist Embeds Into A Normalized Data Structure Using jSoup In ColdFusionAs I mentioned yesterday, I've been using GitHub Gists to add the syntax highlighting / formatting in my blog post content. This has been working great; but, I've never liked the idea of having to reach out to a 3rd-party system at render time in order to provide my full content experience. As such, I've been considering ways to cache the GitHub Gist data locally (in my system) for both better control and better performance. Unfortunately, GitHub Gists aren't provided in the most user-friendly format. To that end, we can use jSoup in ColdFusion to read-in, parse, and normalize the Gist contents.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4464-parsing-github-gist-embeds-into-a-normalized-data-structure-using-jsoup-in-coldfusion.htm 5/16/23 - Blog - Nolan Erck - My Into The Box 2023 ScheduleInto The Box 2023 starts tomorrow! After a flight that included several delay, I finally arrived at the hotel a few minutes ago.

Here's my best guess as to where you can find me:Wednesday: Async Programming & Scheduling workshophttps://southofshasta.com/blog/my-into-the-box-2023-schedule/ 5/17/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion 2023 released, May 17 2023: resources and thoughtsColdFusion 2023 has been released today, May 17 2023. For more on the many features, see the following several Adobe blog posts and substantial documentation resources they released also today, about which I offer some additional comment below.I also discuss changes in OS support (saving you having to compare the docs discussing that), as well as the change to CF2023 running on Java 17 (which you could miss, as it's not highlighted by Adobe in any of the announcement resources.) I also discuss changes in the licensing document/EULA (again, to save you having to do that comparison), as well as an observation about pricing (it has not changed since CF2021).I also discuss some migration considerations and close by pointing out the Hidden Gems in CF2023 talk that I did, based on the prerelase. I plan to update that in time based on this final release.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/5/17/cf2023_released/ 5/18/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using CSS Flexbox To Create A Simple Bar Chart In ColdFusionI'm a huge fan of CSS Flexbox layouts. They're relatively simple to use and there's not much to remember in terms of syntax. One place that I love using Flexbox is when I need to create a simple bar chart. I don't do much charting in my work, so I never have need to pull in large, robust libraries like D3. But, for simple one-off visualizations, CSS Flexbox is my jam. I thought it might be worth sharing a demo of how I do this in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4466-using-css-flexbox-to-create-a-simple-bar-chart-in-coldfusion.htm 5/18/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - FusionReactor 10 released, May 18: resources and thoughtsIf you're using FusionReactor, note that a new version 10 (10.0.0) released yesterday, May 18.

This can greatly simplify development and troubleshooting in a wide variety of situations. You can:Develop on the same operating system you deploy to or use larger, faster, or more specialized hardware than your local machine.Quickly swap between different, remote development environments and safely make updates without worrying about impacting your local machine.Access an existing development environment from multiple machines or locations.Debug an application running somewhere else such as a customer site or in the cloud.No source code needs to be on your local machine to gain these benefits since the extension runs commands and other extensions directly on the remote machine. You can open any folder on the remote machine and work with it just as you would if the folder were on your own machine.https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-sshWorks well with: Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH: Editing Configuration Fileshttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit 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.

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

What is needed is to add a JVM argument to the server. In my case I am using Ortus CommandBox and their ‘server.json' definition. I added this in the ‘jvm' section:```"jvm":{    "args":[        "-Dcoldfusion.datemask.useDasdayofmonth=true"    ]}```That's the only change that is needed; the mentioned JAR hotfix is not needed.

I do write mostly for you all, so thanks!I also noticed that it marks my 17th year of blogging here, almost to the day with my first entry posted this same week back then, Apr 15 2006. That's "pretty darn interesting", as Ray Camden might say.FWIW, I'd also blogged elsewhere--yes, on CF--prior to starting this one.

Instead of copy/pasting the same chunks of coded into various places, you can have a JavaScript/HTML expert focus on getting the UX correct, without them needing to worry about what's happening in the back-end at all.Web Components offer reusable functionality on the front-end, with native JavaScript. They are a great middle-ground between standard request/response based traditional web applications, and apps that aren't quite ready to move to a full-on JavaScript SPA framework. Web Components themselves are 100% native JavaScript - no new libraries required! Let's learn how Web Components work, then look at integrating them into a back-end like CFML or PHP -- I promise it's easier than you think!https://www.meetup.com/sacinteractive/events/292762638/ Recording: TBDCFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comNew FeaturesSearch is now powered by ElasticSearch with drastically increased search relevance.Recent Releases Mastering CommandBox 5 - 3 new videos - https://cfcasts.com/series/mastering-commandbox-5 JVM Args as Array Request Dumper X-Forwarded-For Support 2023 ForgeBox Module of the Week Series - 1 new Video https://cfcasts.com/series/2023-forgebox-modules-of-the-week  2023 VS Code Hint tip and Trick of the Week Series - 1 new Video https://cfcasts.com/series/2023-vs-code-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week  Just added 2019 Into the Box Videos Watch sessions from previous ITB years Into the Box 2022 - https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2022  Into the Box 2021 - https://cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2021  Into the Box 2020 - https://cfcasts.com/series/itb-2020  Into the Box 2019 - https://cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2019  Coming Soon Brad with more CommandBox Videos More ForgeBox and VS Code Podcast snippet videos ColdBox Elixir from Eric Getting Started with Inertia.js from Eric Conferences and TrainingVS Code Day April 26, 2023 - 10AM - 4PM PT TOMORROW!!VS Code Day is our annual event where you'll learn how to elevate your development workflow using the latest and greatest features of VS Code.

For more on each of them, including what changed and the security fixes they each contain (including their CVE scores regarding urgency of concerns), see the Oracle resources I list below. Oracle calls them "critical patch updates" (yep, CPU), but they are in fact scheduled quarterly updates, so that "critical" nomenclature may sometimes be a bit overstated. And as is generally the case with these Java updates, most of them have the same changes and fixes across the versions as each other, though not always.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/4/18/java_updates_Apr_2023 4/18/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - An interesting pair of anniversaries for my blog: 600 posts, over 17 years this monthAfter I posted my last entry, I happened to notice that it was exactly my 600th post here at carehart.org/blog.

On today's episode, we go hard in the other direction, talking about the much less mythical -10x engineer: those engineers that seem to actively work in opposition to the greater good, holding unnecessary meetings and flooding the team with a massive amount of documentation.

It's a hot take on building complex systems by systems theorist, John Gall. The law resonates deeply with me; and, I wanted to pull it out into its own post so that I could share it more easily:A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: a complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a simple system.— John Gallhttps://www.bennadel.com/blog/4452-john-galls-law-on-building-complex-systems.htm 4/24/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New look for CArehart.org, especially better for the blog on mobileOK, so in my last post (celebrating my 600th post and 17th year blogging here) I happened to admit that the site still looked like it was from 2006--that's actually the year of the blogcfc 5.005 version that I based it on...and I never really changed the "look and feel" much.Until this weekend...and it may not be noticeable to all, but I suspect some things will stand out to regular readers, starting with....https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/4/24/new_look_for_site_and_especially_mobile 4/25/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Delighted to be speaking at CFCamp 2023I'm delighted to announce that I've been selected to speak at CFCamp 2023, in Munich this June.

This layer is composed of ColdFusion components that are organized around tightly-coupled features. For example, on this blog, I have a CommentWorkflow.cfc component that has methods for adding, editing, and approving comments.

The specific Chromebook is a Lenovo S330.My pre-requisite is that you've got a Lucee/ColdFusion application ready to go, although basically you could start from scratch with a simple index.cfm file wherever you eventually start CommandBox, but let's leave that for later.https://recantha.co.uk/chromebook-cfml-development-environment-tutorial/Good guide for any Linux machine.3/22/23 - Blog - James Moberg - Generate Sanitized Email Hash (as Integer)While reviewing the logs of failed contact form submissions, I identified a couple email address variations that were exploiting some Gmail features in an attempt to bypass our filters. (Gmail has a "plus" feature and ignores periods in addresses.) A SQL query using REPLACE to remove all periods revealed that this comment form spammer had performed 279 attempts using 162 variations of their 15 character gmail username in an effort to circumvent our filters. We log the full email address that was posted and, when matching via SQL solely using the email addresses, it appeared as each email address was only used 2-4 times... versus the 279 obfuscated attempts.To better identify & highlight abusers via SQL queries, an EmailHash (INT) column has been added to the database table. When searching or logging the email address, the value is sanitized (remove + string and . from the username) and then a java hashCode is generated. Using integers to join database records is much faster than using varchar and has lower storage requirements.https://dev.to/gamesover/generate-sanitized-email-hash-as-integer-4n3e3/22/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Russian Doll Content Wrapping With CFSaveContent In ColdFusionIn web development, the term "Russian Doll" is sometimes used to refer to content that is wrapped inside another piece of content of the same type. This is based on the Russian Doll toy (Matryoshka), which has a multitude of smaller toys contained within it. In the past, I've looked at using the Russian Doll pattern for error handling in Node.js as well as for error handling in ColdFusion. But, its value extends beyond just errors - I often use the CFSaveContent tag to build up a content payload from the outside in. And, I thought it would make for a nice example.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4431-russian-doll-content-wrapping-with-cfsavecontent-in-coldfusion.htmColdBox Layouts and Views!3/23/23 - Discourse - Brad Wood - Is Using CommandBox to run Adobe ColdFusion sites safe in production? There were some excellent questions asked on CFML Slack today, and I wanted to get the answers to them out on our community forum where they could benefit the larger community (and Google). In a nutshell, these were the concerns:When I'm using CommandBox, am I really using “Adobe ColdFusion” or am I getting a “copy” of Adobe ColdFusion from the Ortus site?We have an Adobe Support Contract and will Adobe provide support for my CommandBox installation?CommandBox is not using Tomcat, but JBoss Undertow. Will it be capable of managing the load of a production site?These are great questions, and one any Enterprise would want answered before committing to CommandBox. Let's go through them categorically.https://community.ortussolutions.com/t/is-using-commandbox-to-run-adobe-coldfusion-sites-safe-in-production/9581/13/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Getting FusionReactor User Experience Monitoring (UEM) To Play Nicely With Content Security Policy (CSP) In ColdFusionFor the past few days, I've been digging into some network latency issues on my blog. And, in response to some of my public messaging on the topic, David Tattersall suggested that I look into FusionReactor's User Experience Monitoring (UEM). Whereas FusionReactor's Java agent provides server-side insights and confidence, the UEM module is designed to shed light on the end-user experience (UX). After all, the server-side leg is only part of the journey. Getting UEM up-and-running is easy; but, out of the box, it doesn't play very nicely with my Content Security Policy. As such, I wanted to share how I got it working on my ColdFusion blog.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4436-getting-fusionreactor-user-experience-monitoring-uem-to-play-nicely-with-content-security-policy-csp-in-coldfusion.htmCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 55 ColdFusion positions from 35 companies across 28 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - Senior Application Developer at Aurora, IL - United StatesPosted Mar 24https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/SeniorAppDev-Aurora-IL/11559Contract - Coldfusion Developer at Jacksonville, FL - United StatesPosted Mar 24https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDeveloper-Jacksonville-FL/11558Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekChatGPT APIBy Matt GiffordA ColdFusion CFC to interact with the chatgpt APIInstantiate the core component chatgpt.cfc and pass in the required properties like so:var chat = new chatgpt(    apiKey = 'xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');ExampleUse chatgpt to create:var resp = chat.chatCompletion(model='gpt-3.5-turbo',messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write me a poem about a summer day with popcorn and unicorns"}]);https://forgebox.io/view/chatgptVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekGrammarlyThis extension brings Grammarly to VS Code.Grammarly leads the industry in building AI-enabled services to help people communicate effectively every day.

Since I haven't explored these latter behaviors yet, I wanted to put together a quick demo using Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4422-styling-submit-buttons-during-form-submission-with-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm3/12/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Rendering A Fly-Out Form Panel Using Turbo Frames With Hotwire And Lucee CFMLWhen using Hotwire to progressively enhance "normal" ColdFusion pages, the process is quite seamless: as long as you're returning a non-200 status code on failed form submissions, everything just works! It's only when you start transcluding forms from one page into another page that things get tricky. This is doubly-true when the transcluded form is transient, such as with a modal window or a fly-out panel. To start getting comfortable with this concept, I wanted to try and render a form inside a fly-out panel in a Hotwire enhanced ColdFusion application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4424-rendering-a-fly-out-form-panel-using-turbo-frames-with-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/13/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using "return" To Short-Circuit A CFML Template In ColdFusionAt work, we use Framework One (FW/1) to route and render our ColdFusion requests. As such, our "controller layer" is implemented as a series of ColdFusion components (CFCs). And, since each request maps to a method invocation on said components, I'm used to using a return statement when short-circuiting my controller actions. Yesterday, when working on my Hotwire + ColdFusion demos - which uses simple CFML templates as its controller layer - I accidentally used a return statement to short-circuit the control flow. And it worked! This was unexpected; and, I wanted to see if it worked in both Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4425-using-return-to-short-circuit-a-cfml-template-in-coldfusion.htm 3/14/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Nested Stimulus Controllers With Hotwire And Lucee CFMLThe other day, on the Hotwire Dev Forum, I was having a discussion about communicating across Stimulus controllers. Most of my explorations so far have revolved around Turbo and progressively enhancing a ColdFusion application. As such, I didn't have much to offer in the way of advice. In order to help flesh out my mental model for Stimulus controllers, I wanted to put together a demo that explores a few different ways to communicate between a child controller and a parent controller in a Hotwire application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4426-using-nested-stimulus-controllers-with-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 52 ColdFusion positions from 32 companies across 25 locations in 5 Countries.1 new job listed this weekFull-Time - Full Stack ColdFusion/Lucee Developer (Remote) at Vancouver.. - Canada Posted Mar 08https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/canada/FullStackCFDev-Remote-at-Vancouver-BC/11557Other Job Links- There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooForgeBox Module of the WeekAmazon S3 SDK v5.5.2+76By Ortus SolutionsThis SDK allows you to add Amazon S3, Digital Ocean Spaces capabilities to your ColdFusion (CFML) applications.

Turbo Frames can be used for things like lazy-loading user-specific content for better caching and including (or "transcluding") forms from one page into another page. This latter concept - transcluding forms - can unlock a lot of different user experiences. But, rendering a form inside a Turbo Frame can make post-submission redirections more complicated. Fortunately, I recently learned about creating custom Turbo Stream actions, which can help us bridge the redirection gap in our ColdFusion applications.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4418-transcluding-a-form-into-a-turbo-frame-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/2/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - The User Experience (UX) Of Disabled Form ButtonsBy default, form buttons aren't disabled. When you render a form, everything "just works". That is, until, a web developer decides to get "clever" and starts disabling buttons, pending some desired form state. Unfortunately, many developers are not quite as clever as they think they are; and, buttons often remain disabled even when a form has been completed filled-out. This obviously leads to a terrible user experience (UX).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4419-the-user-experience-ux-of-disabled-form-buttons.htm 3/2/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Dynamically Adding Stimulus Controllers To Static Content Using Hotwire And Lucee CFMLAs I'm digging into the Hotwire framework, I'm trying to keep an eye on how I might eventually convert this ColdFusion blog over to using it. And, one of the things that I currently have to contend with (on this blog) is progressively enhancing the "static content" within each blog post (ex, resizing code-blocks on mouseenter). The "Stimulus way" seeks to create small, targeted controllers instead of large, over-reaching "page" controllers. As such, I wanted to see if I can dynamically attach Stimulus Controllers to targeted elements within my static content.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4420-dynamically-adding-stimulus-controllers-to-static-content-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/4/2023 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Rendering A Persistent Dismissible Banner Using Hotwire And Lucee CFMLWhen operating a Single Page Application (SPA) in Angular, I will often need to render a persistent banner across the top of page, alerting the user to some sort of state change or a call-to-action (CTA). Now that I know that Hotwire can define persistent Turbo Frames; and, that we can use custom Turbo Stream actions to visit those Turbo Frames; I wanted to see if I could use a persistent frame to render a dismissible banner in a Hotwire-enhanced ColdFusion application.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4421-rendering-a-persistent-dismissible-banner-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 3/4/2023 - Blog - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox 5.8.0 Released!We are pleased to announce the release of CommandBox 5.8.0, which comes with a handful of new features and some important library updates.As usual, you can acquire the latest release from our download page or your favorite HomeBrew or apt/yum repohttps://www.ortussolutions.com/products/commandbox#download https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-580-released 3/6/2023 - Blog - Brian Reilly - Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Mura CMS and Masa CMS (CVE-2022-47003 and CVE-2022-47002)Mura CMS is a popular content management system written in ColdFusion/CFML.

For the most part, this value is either never set (which then uses the default timeout defined in the ColdFusion admin); or, it's set once at the top of the request. Sometimes, however, I run into situations where I need to dynamically update the timeout of the current page. Unfortunately, the CFSetting tag doesn't support this; as such, I wanted to outline ways in which this can be hacked into the request in either Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4405-extending-the-current-request-timeout-in-coldfusion-cfml.htmRelated: https://ortussolutions.atlassian.net/browse/COLDBOX-1188?jql=text%20~%20%22requesttimeout%222/11/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Exploring Turbo Drive Back-Button Caching Behavior In Lucee CFMLWhen you enable Hotwire Turbo Drive in your ColdFusion application, link clicks and form submissions are intercepted and then subsequently executed via the fetch() API. Hotwire continues to maintain expected browser behaviors by pushing the relevant URLs onto the browser's History API. Then, if the user presses the Back Button, Turbo Drive pulls the previous rendering out of its cache and restores the previous content and scroll offset. In this post, I want to take a closer look at when the page cache is populated; and, what events get triggered when a cached page is re-rendered.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4404-exploring-turbo-drive-back-button-caching-behavior-in-lucee-cfml.htm2/13/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Stimulus To Preload Links On Hover In Hotwire And Lucee CFMLFrom what I've been reading, when building a Stimulus controller in Hotwire, the key to success is thinking in terms of small, composable behaviors. So, instead of creating a controller that manages an entire View, we should seek to extract aspects of said view that might make sense in a wider variety of use-cases. To practice this mindset, I wanted to try building a Stimulus controller that will preload a given link target if the user hovers over an element for some period of time. And, of course, we'll be doing this in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4407-using-stimulus-to-preload-links-on-hover-in-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htmAs before, if Ben's experiments with Hotwire interest you, also check out CBWire (https://cbwire.ortusbooks.com/) by Ortus Solutions.  And if you prefer to write your views in JavaScript, check out cbInertia (https://forgebox.io/view/cbInertia) by Ortus Solutions.2/8/23 - Blog - Zac Spitzer - Lucee 5.3.10.120 Stable ReleaseFollowing up on the initial 5.3.10.97 release, our second 5.3.10 release is mostly about further improving the `configImport()` support and minor bug fixes, including fixing installing extensions via an environment variable.LDEV-2871 - When there aren't any debugging logs, show debugging statusLDEV-2900 - adding to cookie scope doesn't inherit application cfcookie tag defaultsLDEV-3720 - Log trace of cflocation and allow option to AbortLDEV-4261 - build must always display Caused by: sections of java stacktracesLDEV-4297 - NPE lucee.runtime.config.ConfigWebUtil.loadAddionalConfig(ConfigWebUtil.java:783)LDEV-4289 - configImport isn't importing s3 mappingsLDEV-4306 1 - SetLocale(“English (UK)") does not set United Kingdom locale.LDEV-4307 2 - ConfigImport extremely slowLDEV-4338 - Admin - (Services - Cache) creating cache throws the errorLDEV-4381 1 - admin: "column name [otherVersions] already exist;lucee.runtime.exp.DatabaseException: column name [otherVersions] already existhttps://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-3-10-120-stable-release/121112/6/23 - Blog - Eric Peterson - Ortus Solutions - qb 9.0.0 ReleasedA new major release of qb is now available on ForgeBox!

According to David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), the Turbo family of features should get you 90% of the way through your application development. But, that last 10% of features needs to be implemented with custom JavaScript. And for this, Hotwire provides Stimulus controllers; or, what the Rails community refers to as "JavaScript sprinkles". To start looking at Stimulus, I wanted to create a demo that takes a ColdFusion provided UTC millisecond value and renders it in the user's local timezone.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4401-rendering-a-local-timestamp-with-stimulus-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm 2/6/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New URL for signing up to the CFML Slack: cfml-slack.netTLDR; the URL for joining the CFML Slack workspace and channels has changed. If you want to join the CFML Slack, use the form at cfml-slack.net. As some may have noticed, the old URL for joining (cfml-slack.herokuapp.com) no longer works.Since it's mentioned in many places on the web, I wanted to help spread this news. This cfml-slack.net URL replaces that, while the URL for the CFML Slack channel itself is unchanged: cfml.slack.com.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/2/6/new_url_for_cfml_slack_signup2/6/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - FusionReactor 9.2.1 update releasedIf you're using FusionReactor, note that a new 9.2.1 update was released last week, Jan 31, with a couple of bug fixes--including one where you may need to add a JVM arg to prevent an error, in a certain case as I will discuss.

Hotwire takes that concept a step further with Turbo Streams. In response to a POST form submission, a series of elements can define multiple, independent mutations that Hotwire will perform on the currently rendered view. I wanted to explore the Turbo Streams mechanics in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4400-dynamically-updating-views-with-turbo-streams-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm  1/31/23 - Blog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - CBSecurity 3 ReleasedWe are incredibly excited to release CBSecurity 3.

Preferably in the USA but am open to other areas.  Is there anyone on this list, a better list, or even a company that can provide match making services?” ForgeBox Module of the WeekUIMEA simple templating tool for Coldbox apps.Tools like Bootstrap make it easy to create user interfaces which are responsive, consistent and so on. However, you still need to get the HTML and class names correct which means referencing the web site, perhaps copying and pasting and so on. This is fine but if you're more at home with JSON than CSS, this time spent can feel like diving into another language.UIME components accept a JSON object with some required keys and return the boiler plate HTML from the Bootstrap 5 library. This is by no means complete but I'll flesh it out as needed. PRs welcome. :)Each component accepts the basic data that it needs to create its element as well as an id and class list to be added to the top element.https://www.forgebox.io/view/uime VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekDev ContainersVisual Studio Code Dev ContainersThe Dev Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment.

(Note that prior to Java 9, releases of Java were known technically as 1.x, so 8 is referred to in resources below as 1.8.)https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/17/java_updates_Jan_2023 ICYMI and CLARIFICATION: Beware that latest Oracle JDK installers will REMOVE older JDK installs of that versionHere's something new to beware if you may run the Oracle JDK installer for the recently updated Java 11 or 17, whether on Windows, macOS, or via RPM: the new Oracle jdk installer WILL REMOVE any older previous versions of that JVM version created by previous JDK installers of the same major version. (Note that this issue does not affect those who implement java by extracting it from a compressed file, like a zip or tar.gz.)Fortunately for some, this issue does NOT affect those running Java 8 or below, or Java 19 or abovehttps://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/23/beware_latest_oracle_JDK_installers_will_remove_older_JDK_installs Clarification from Charlie regarding the Podcast discussion of this post last week: Brad said that this behavior is “not new”, and I have to say: that's not correct. As the post goes on to clarify, this change IS documented in last week's release notes for the Oracle JVM. I've updated my post with this new paragraph at the top to clarify that point:Since I posted this last night, I've heard some people assert "this is not new behavior: Java's always popped up and offered to remove old versions". Those folks are misunderstanding something: that was true of past JRE installers (like in Java 8 and earlier, which don't exist for Java 11), but it was never the case for Oracle JDK installers (even for Java 8). THAT's what's new about the JDK 11 and 17 installers, and it's DOCUMENTED in the release notes, as I discuss below. But it may surprise those who never saw a JDK installer do that, thus this post. (The rest of this post remains unchanged.)Thanks Charlie for Clarifiying!ICYMI - CBWire Poll about a CFCasts SeriesI'm in the planning stage of developing an ongoing video series for CBWIRE on https://cfcasts.com/.

To see this in action, I wanted to create a simple slide show using Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4398-a-simple-slide-show-using-hotwire-and-lucee-cfml.htm Creation Order:  LiveView created for Phoenix's for the Elixir language LiveWire is Laravel for PHP HotWire is Ruby on Rails for Ruby CBWire is our LiveWire implementation for ColdBox for ColdFusion Check our January CBWire Webinar from Grant to see it in action HTMX is another option which has grown over time - mentioned by a few CFMLs like Greg Alexander 1/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - OnRequestStart() / OnRequest() Methods Invoked Even If Requested Template Doesn't Exist In Lucee CFMLWhile setting up my ColdFusion and Hotwire Demos project, I stumbled upon an application behavior that is unique to Lucee CFML (as opposed to Adobe ColdFusion). Historically, with ColdFusion, attempting to request a .cfm file that doesn't exist would result in a "Missing Template" error; or, if defined, would trigger the onMissingTemplate() event handler. This was true regardless of the method defined in your Application.cfc framework component. In Lucee CFML, however, it seems that the onRequestStart() and onRequest() life-cycle method will be invoked even if the requested template doesn't exist. Which is awesome!https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4397-onrequeststart-onrequest-methods-invoked-even-if-requested-template-doesnt-exist-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/29/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Setting Up My ColdFusion + Hotwire Demos PlaygroundA month ago, I started building a ColdFusion and Hotwire application as a learning experience. Only, once I finished the basic ColdFusion CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) features, I didn't really know how to go about applying the Hotwire functionality. I realized that I bit off more than I could chew; and, I needed to go back and start learning some of the Hotwire basics before I could build an app using the "Hotwire way". As such, I've started a new ColdFusion and Hotwire Demos project, where I intended to explore stand-alone aspects of the Hotwire framework.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4396-setting-up-my-coldfusion-hotwire-demos-playground.htm1/27/23 - Blog - Brad Wood - Improving Lucee's QoQ Support Again- now 200% fasterTwo years ago, I published this post detailing how I had refactored the Query of Query support in Lucee to be much better and also much faster:https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-query-of-query-support I removed the single-threaded HSQLDB callback for grouped/aggregate and distinct selects and tuned the performance.  QoQ's are a bit of a polarizing feature in CFML.  They've suffered in the past from poor support and poor performance which has caused a lot of people to avoid them.  There are certainly places where queryMap(), queryFilter(), and queryReduce() are the best approach, but there are also times where you simply can't beat the readability and conciseness of an ordered,  aggregated select.  I know developers who tell me they never use "reduce" higher order functions because they are too confusing, but I've never met a developer who didn't understand "GROUP BY department"! https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-qoq-support-again-now-200-faster 1/26/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - Be aware that ColdFusion 2018 end-of-life (and end of updates) is coming July 2023Are you still running ColdFusion 2018? Did you know that its end-of-life is July 13, 2023? That's the date that "core" support ends--meaning, no more updates from Adobe after that, not even security fixes.As for CF2021, it gets updates into 2025, and the currently running pre-release of CF2023 is a great sign for the continued vitality of CF. But this looming deadline for CF2018 is a reminder that as the years roll on, we not only get new versions but we must say good-bye to old ones.Wondering what you can do? or when CF2021 or CF2023 support will end also? And what's the difference between "core" and "extended" support Adobe sells? (The extended support plan does NOT provide updates beyond this coming July.) For more on these, including official Adobe documentation that discusses such things, as well as my thoughts on migration, costs, various options to consider, and more, do read on.https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/1/26/coldfusion2018_end_of_life_july_2023 CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 48 ColdFusion positions from 29 companies across 23 locations in 5 Countries.2 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at India - India Jan 30https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Developer-at-India/11552 Contract - Adobe ColdFusion Administrator at Alhambra, CA - United States Jan 26https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFAdminstrator-at-CA/11551 Other Job LinksThere is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the Box team slack now tooBrian Polackoff posted yesterday morning in the cfml-general channel that he is looking for 2-3 advanced CF programmers.

You will have to update your configuration to use this validator instead of the JwtService useSSL is now defaulted to true for all security relocations as the default Encapsulation of jwt settings from the ModuleConfig to the JwtService CBAuthValidator has been renamed to just AuthValidator this way it can be used with ANY authentication service instead of binding it to just cbauth. This validator just relies on the IAuthUser interface now. Added New AuthValidator now can validate permissions and roles according to our IAuthUser interface but can be used on ANY authentication service that implements IAuthService New authorization and authentication delegates for usage in cb7 New ability for the firewall to log all action events to a database table. New visualizer that can visualize all settings and all firewall events via the log table if enabled. New Basic Auth validator and basic auth user credentials storage system. This will allow you to secure your apps where no database interaction is needed or required. New global and rule action: block and the fireall will block the request with a 401 Unathorized page. New event cbSecurity_onFirewallBlock announced whenever the firewall blocks a request into the system with a 403. DBTokenStorage now rotates using async scheduler and not direct usage anymore. Ability to set the cbcsrf module settings into the cbsecurity settings as csrf. We now default the user service class and the auth token rotation events according to used authentication service (cbauth, etc), no need to duplicate work. New rule based IP security. You can add a allowedIPs key into any rule and add which IP Addresses are allowed into the match. By default, it matches all IPs. New rule based HTTP method security. You can add a httpMethods key into any rule and add which HTTP methods are allowed into the match. By default, it matches all HTTP Verbs. New securityHeaders configuration to allow a developer to protect their apps from common exploits: xss, HSTS, Content Type Options, host header validation, ip validation, click jacking, non-SSL redirection and much more. Authenticated user is now stored by the security firewall according to the prcUserVariable on authenticated calls via preProcess() no matter the validator used Dynamic Custom Claims: You can pass a function/closure as the value for a custom claim and it will be evaluated at runtime passing in the current claims before being encoded Allow passing in custom refresh token claims to attempt() and fromUser() and refreshToken() : refreshCustomClaims Added TokenInvalidException and TokenExpiredException to the refreshToken endpoint https://www.forgebox.io/view/cbsecurityWebinar / Meetups and WorkshopsOrtus Event Calendar for Googlehttps://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=Y181NjJhMWVmNjFjNGIxZTJlNmQ4OGVkNzg0NTcyOGQ1Njg5N2RkNGJiNjhjMTQwZjc3Mzc2ODk1MmIyOTQyMWVkQGdyb3VwLmNhbGVuZGFyLmdvb2dsZS5jb20 Ortus Fridays are back in Full Effect in 2023 ICYMI - Ortus Office Hours - Jan 6th, 2023 - 11 AM CST ICYMI - Ortus Webinar - Jan 20th 2023 - CBWIRE Coding Session - Let's build an app with CBWIRE with Grant Copley - 11 AM CST https://cfcasts.com/series/ortus-webinars-2023/videos/cbwire-live-coding-session-with-grant-copley  Ortus Office Hours - Feb 3rd, 2023 - 11 AM CST Software Craftsmanship Book Club - Feb 10th, 2023 - 2 PM CST (Patreon exclusive) CFCasts Content Updateshttps://www.cfcasts.comRecent Releases Ortus Webinar - January - CBWIRE Live Coding Session https://cfcasts.com/series/ortus-webinars-2023/videos/cbwire-live-coding-session-with-grant-copley  ITB 2022 - All videos released to subscribers - 30+!!!! 2023 ForgeBox Module of the Week Series - 1 new Video https://cfcasts.com/series/2023-forgebox-modules-of-the-week  2023 VS Code Hint tip and Trick of the Week Series - 1 new Video https://cfcasts.com/series/2023-vs-code-hint-tip-and-trick-of-the-week  Coming Soon Brad with more CommandBox Videos - 27!!!

As part of this algorithm, I hash together various sources of entropy in order to create a unique, collision-resistant value. Once I completed my initial implementation, I got to thinking: since the goal isn't to create a specific value but rather a random, unique value, does the order of the inputs to the hash actually have any bearing on the characteristics of the output? In other words, does the order of hash inputs make the hash more unique? Or, give it a more even distribution in a given space?https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4394-does-the-order-of-hash-inputs-matter-in-terms-of-uniqueness-and-distribution.htm 1/19/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Comparing Java's MessageDigest To ColdFusion's hash() Function In Lucee CFMLLast week, I implemented a ColdFusion port of the CUID2 library. My version seems to work correctly; however, it has some performance problems when compared to the Java version. When I instrumented the ColdFusion component methods, nothing really jumped out at me. But, I have a hunch that I could make the SHA hashing more performant. Only, I don't have a great mental model for hashing. As such, I wanted to perform a small comparison of Java's MessageDigest class with ColdFusion's native hash() function for hashing a compound input.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4393-comparing-javas-messagedigest-to-coldfusions-hash-function-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/18/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Using "continue" To Short-Circuit .each() Iteration In ColdFusionYesterday, I was refactoring some ColdFusion code to go from using a standard for-in loop to using an .each() iteration member method. The for-in version of the code had some short-circuiting logic that used continue statements to skip to the next loop iteration. And, when I refactored to using .each(), I forgot to change the continue keyword to be a return keyword. And, wouldn't you know it - the code worked anyway. This is likely a quirk, not a feature, of the CFML platform; but, I thought it would be fun to share.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4392-using-continue-to-short-circuit-each-iteration-in-coldfusion.htm 1/17/23 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - New updates released for Java 8, 11, 17, and 19 as of Jan 17 2023Here's a heads-up that some will want to hear about: there are new JVM updates released today (Jan 17, 2023) for the current long-term support (LTS) releases of Oracle Java, 8, 11, and 17, as well as the current interim update 19.

MODERNIZING THROUGH EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTIONGuust NieuwenhuisJanuary 10, 2023 | 15:00 - 16:00 EST (1 hour)Our company has grown over a quarter of a century, and across those years we have matured as developers and IT companies, refining both our tools and practices to a degree that the past seems hardly recognizable. Counter to this are the inevitable compromises, products of constrained timeframes, limited client budgets or strained resources. Projects inevitably lean more towards growth and depth than general modernization, to the point that they become difficult to maintain. So, what happens when the bugs add up and the monster emerges? Refactor? Rewrite from scratch? We've been involved in many such projects, internally and inherited both, and have learned there is no simple answer to the question “how do we move forward?” Through case studies and anecdotes I will explain what to look out for, from both a technical and business perspective.EASIER API DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING - USE POSTMAN, WEBHOOK.SITE, AND NGROK TO ENHANCE YOUR WORKFLOWDaniel GarciaJanuary 12, 2023 | 12:00 - 13:00 EST (1 hour)Postman, Webhook.site, and ngrok are great tools that can really enhance your API development and testing workflow. PostMan is a cross-platform API Testing Tool with lots of awesome features, Webhook.site allows you to easily inspect, test, and automate any incoming HTTP request or e-mails, and ngrok enables you to expose a web server running on your local machine to the internet. These are must-have tools for any API developer (either creating or consuming). In short, these tools solve problems and best of all, they all have free versions which allow you to be very productive. My goal is that after this conference, you will start using at least one, if not all three, tools when you get home. I'm not saying using these tools will be life-changing, but I am also not not saying that eitherLEVERAGING AI / COGNITIVE SERVICES VIA COLDFUSIONMichael HayesJanuary 17 | 12:00 - 13:00 pm EST (1 hour)Azure Cognitive Services is API that leverages AI and Machine Learning to provide capability such as Sentiment Analysis, Entity Recognition, Auto Translator, Text to Speech, speech translation, and many more.

It's a fascinating framework (from Basecamp) that forces you to think about web fundamentals and how to progressively enhance the user experience (UX). This morning, I ran into an issue trying to get Turbo Drive to work with HTTP Form submissions. It turns out, Turbo Drive requires non-2xx status codes to be returned in response to a failed form submission in ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4385-hotwire-turbo-drive-requires-failed-form-submissions-to-return-a-non-2xx-status-code.htm 1/9/23 - Blog - Maria Jose Herrera - CBWIRE 2.2 ReleasedWe're excited to announce the release of CBWIRE 2.2. This release includes several added enhancements, such as new lifecycle hooks and simplified Turbo Drive integration. We changed the previous lifecycle hook of mount() to onMount() to be consistent, and several bugs were squashed.The docs have been updated also. https://cbwire.ortusbooks.com/ Enjoy!https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/cbwire-22-released 1/8/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Code Kata: Recursively Flattening A Deep Array In Lucee CFMLYesterday, I looked at flattening an array in ColdFusion. That post was more a look at the available syntax options with a variadic function and less a look at the actual Array flattening algorithm. And, it only flattened to a single depth. As a fast-follow, I wanted to look at what it would take to recursively flatten a deep array, with nested array elements, in Lucee CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4384-code-kata-recursively-flattening-a-deep-array-in-lucee-cfml.htm  1/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Iterating Over Function Arguments Using CFLoop In Lucee CFMLIn my previous post on flattening arrays in ColdFusion, I mentioned that the arguments scope in a Function body acts as both an Array and a Struct. This is a truly great feature of ColdFusion; but, iterating over such a dynamic data structure can be confusing at times. Luckily, ColdFusion also gives us the highly dynamic CFLoop tag. We can use CFLoop to iterate over the arguments scope using either Array iteration or Struct iteration.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4383-iterating-over-function-arguments-using-cfloop-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/7/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Code Kata: Flattening An Array In Lucee CFMLYesterday, at InVision, I was writing an algorithm in which I needed to build several one-dimensional arrays. And, in some cases, I was using all simple values; but, in other cases, I was using a mixture of simple values and other arrays. To keep my calling code clean, I abstracted the logic into a flattenArray() method that would take N-arguments and then smoosh all of those arguments down into a single array. The method I created worked fine, but it just didn't look "right". I wasn't vibing it. As such, I wanted to step back and try creating a flatten method with a variety of different syntaxes to see which strikes the right balance between simplicity, elegance, and readability (which is all highly subjective).https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4382-code-kata-flattening-an-array-in-lucee-cfml.htm 1/6/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Hotwire Turbo Drive Doesn't Work With .cfm Page ExtensionsOver the holiday break, I had this grand vision of building a ColdFusion site and then adding Hotwire (HTML Over The Wire) to it as a progressive enhancement. Unfortunately, it took me all of break just to get the ColdFusion parts written (I chose a poor problem space). And then, when I finally installed Hotwire and tried to use Turbo Drive, nothing happened. Every link and form submission lead to a full page refresh. After a few hours of Googling, I discovered that Hotwire Turbo Drive doesn't work with .cfm file extensions.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4381-hotwire-turbo-drive-doesnt-work-with-cfm-page-extensions.htm 1/5/23 - Tweet - Lucee Script Runner@BenNadel just listening to @WorkingCodePod, reckon you should try my github.com/lucee/script-r… for your CI with github, it's so f-ing easyhttps://twitter.com/zackster/status/1611050555308232704 https://twitter.com/zackster CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 39 ColdFusion positions from 25 companies across 22 locations in 5 Countries.1 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Remote - United Kingdom Jan 03https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-kingdom/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Remote/11543 Other Job Links Ortus Solutions https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers  South of Shasta - https://southofshasta.com/blog/cfml-developer-wanted/  There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the WeekCommandBox dotenvStoring secrets in source-controlled files is a bad idea, but we still need some way to provide these sensitive credentials or configuration values to our projects.

This ColdFusion component allows us to tap into events such as application, session, and request initialization. It also allows us to define a global error handler via the onError() method. This method, however, is tricky to use because it means — by definition — that the error in question was not handled properly (by lower-level code). This makes the state of the request very unpredictable; which means that we need to introspect the request before we attempt to output any error message. https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4378-showing-an-error-message-in-the-onerror-method-in-application-cfc-in-cfml.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 38 ColdFusion positions from 25 companies across 22 locations in 5 Countries.1 new jobs listed this weekColdFusion Developer (Remote)Fort Washington, PA,  United StatesM3 USAhttps://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/CFDev-USRemote/11542Other Job Links Ortus Solutions https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers  There is a jobs channel in the CFML slack team, and in the box team slack now too ForgeBox Module of the WeekcbfsThe cbfs module will enable you to abstract ANY filesystem within your ColdBox applications.

To make sure users can take advantage of the features we've added to CBWIRE, I have created an examples repository that includes Getting Started, Forms, Template Directives, Advanced, and Alpine sections.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/cbwire-examples 12/5/22 - Blog - Ben Nadel - I'm Beginning To Think That Much Of Programming Is Wildly SubjectiveFrom what I've seen and heard, a large portion of the programming community - myself often included - feels that much of what goes into programming is objectively good or bad. We all seem to have hills that we're willing to die on because we believe that said hills are objectively the right choice. Vim vs an IDE; tabs vs spaces; functional vs object oriented; relational databases vs document stores; single-file components vs separation of concerns; single-letter variables vs intuitive variables; ORM vs SQL; Go vs ColdFusion; Angular vs React; single-quotes vs double-quotes; idiomatic vs pragmatic; monoliths vs microservices; REST vs GraphQL; the list goes on and on ad infinitum.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4363-im-beginning-to-think-that-much-of-programming-is-wildly-subjective.htm 12/1/22 - Blog - Brad Wood - Improving Lucee's QoQ Support Again- now 200% fasterTwo years ago, I published this post detailing how I had refactored the Query of Query support in Lucee to be much better and also much faster:https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-query-of-query-supportI removed the single-threaded HSQLDB callback for grouped/aggregate and distinct selects and tuned the performance.  QoQ's are a bit of a polarizing feature in CFML.  They've suffered in the past from poor support and poor performance which has caused a lot of people to avoid them.  There are certainly places where queryMap(), queryFilter(), and queryReduce() are the best approach, but there are also times where you simply can't beat the readability and conciseness of an ordered,  aggregated select.  I know developers who tell me they never use "reduce" higher order functions because they are too confusing, but I've never met a developer who didn't understand "GROUP BY department"! https://www.codersrevolution.com/blog/improving-lucees-qoq-support-again-now-200-faster 11/29/22 - Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion Portal - Recordings of CF Summit Online sessions, finding them posted after each sessionInterested in finding the recordings of the Online version of the 2022 CF Summit?TLDR: recordings of the CF Summit Online are now being posted on the Adobe CF team Youtube channel, andwe can expect to see soon other places listing all the recordings for the event, as a single playlist.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/11/recordings-of-cf-summit-online/ CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 34 ColdFusion positions from 23 companies across 21 locations in 5 Countries.Since August 1st.1 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - Remote ColdFusion Developer at North Philadelphia, PA - United States Dec 01https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Remote-CFDeveloper/11538 Patreon Sponsored Job Announcement - Tomorrows GuidesTomorrows Guides is a fast paced leader in the UK care sector, catering for care seekers across three areas: Care Homes, Nurseries and Home Care.

Breaking news kind of thing. So: without further ado! CF Camp will be back in June 2023.We have a date - 22 and 23rd of June 2023 for the main conference event. That is gonna be a Thursday and Friday and as in the past there will be additional pre events on the Tuesday and Wednesday. I would expect the Ortus team to run some training workshops for instance, I heard that the Preside CMS team is looking at doing a mini Preside-con day as well and we'll see what else might be happening.Venue is unchanged, we'll be again in the Marriott Munich Airport, which is NOT at the airport but in the lovely little ancient town of Freising. Michi has booked the hotel, so it's as official as it gets at this stage.If you go to cfcamp.org now, you'll find there is a “Save the date” and more will be coming soon. We're currently working on the Sponsorship documents, and have started to think about the Call for Papers and what we want to be looking for from a session and topic point of view. It'll be an open and transparent process again via Papercall or Sessionize and we'll again try to do our best to increase diversity and help to get underrepresented groups in the tech industry out there.At this stage I'd expect the call for Papers to open in early Jan, not sure if we'll manage to squeeze it onto this side of the end of year holidays.CF Camp 2023June 22/23, 2023  Freising, Germany  https://www.cfcamp.org/ Adobe ColdFusion Fortuna (Codename for CF2023) AlphaI am opening up the Alpha testing group for Adobe ColdFusion 2023 (Codename: Fortuna).

People got a lot of emails, some people (ADAM CAMERON) got millions as every bug got moved from Alpha to Beta. The weird part was all the links to the issues were broken, I assume because of the Internal vs External Jira connection.
