My favorite book of all time. It is the definitive work. Written by a guy that was blinded at Harvard by a crust of bread during a food fight.

6 years ago I joined a 20-person startup. I wanted to quit after my first week, but didn't. Now our company is worth over $1B and has 200+ employees. Here's what I've learned about succeeding at a startup:

After more than a couple hiccups, I managed to get the ContentBox 5 beta installed and running. It mostly looks familiar, so that’s a plus. Can’t wait to try out more. #cfml #contentbox

Excellent observations
Having failed (& succeeded) with startups, here's my idea validation 101. If you've an idea but are unclear about its merit, here are my suggestions. I cover: - Mistakes & lessons - Easy proxies to validate - Building an audience - Presenting your idea on a website Let's go👇🏽

How can you not love the Lucee platform? You need to continuously check for hundreds of outgoing messages? Event gateways. Update the status real time to your dashboard? Websockets. It's almost a silver platter with everything on it. #CFML

My favorite JVM based web development platform. Scalability, security, reliability.

I enjoyed this interview. Hearing real stories of Lucee handling enterprise issues with ease makes me love #cfml all the more.
I talked with Gert Franz about “Cool Lucee CFML (GigaBytes file parsing and more)”. A new episode of the CF Alive Podcast is here! #ColdFusion #CFML #CFAlive bit.ly/3hI5fkx

There are several examples out there of Electron apps that bundle CommandBox to start servers, etc. In fact, you can bundle the box.jar directly so you have the full CLI but it's OS independent. github.com/fyroc/cfml-electr…

So I spent my Saturday investigating why I so urgently need to move on to the nodejs train. Other than building a stand alone app with electron, I have none. For pkg management, build tools, CI, cross platform, rapid dev and more, Lucee and CommandBox has me covered. Nice.
