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:

Okay, that’s kinda what I was thinking. I really like the small footprint for CF based automation. Thank you for this.

This looks so great, I didn’t know about it before. I’m still getting more into docker, but can anyone tell me if I have task runners, do I have to build a new container with them included or can I pass in the CFC file path as a parameter for a scheduled task?

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.
Want to increase your knowledge? Dive into our tutorials. For example: Want to use Java in Lucee? Check out our Java-Lucee tutorial. bit.ly/3fx7gz4 #lucee #coldfusion #cfml #opensource #webdevelopment #tech #java #learnlucee

Yep. I like how java has continued to evolve to power the backend, and CF is a great JVM platform to prototype and build fast. Also, some of the best modern tools and frameworks for CF have been developed over just the last few years.

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
