• Validating Complex, Nested, Dynamic Data Structures In ColdFusion

  Looks pretty neat. I will admit that I didn't read through the entire source of the final embed, but this part caught my eye: And, of course, the tests array can have multiple entries that are all AND'ed together. My gut reaction was that you're skipping OR support for now (as I did ... read more »

• A Relational Database Table To Prevent Double Form-Submissions In ColdFusion

  Posted on Jun 12, 2022 at 10:09 AM

  This is also not far from CSRF protection which, if I'm not mistaken, usually uses the user's session for storage, which would negate the need for the table. It doesn't play nice with multiple-tabs scenarios where the user might be bouncing between 3 different tabs, but as long as that's not... read more »

  The one page approach to documentation is great if you have a limited scope. The taffy docs are one page (per version). Even that is pretty long, and Taffy's scope is very tight. If (anyone) isn't already aware of it, the 4 types of documentation ( https://documentation.divio.com/ ) is def... read more »

• Why Do People Think React Teaches You More JavaScript?

  Posted on Aug 9, 2021 at 1:39 PM

  @Ben, Actually I went back and had another look at your original blog entry here. And your title stood out to me even more than previously: "Why Do People Think React Teaches You More JavaScript?" It teaches you more JS because it doesn't hold your hand through things by giving y... read more »

• Why Do People Think React Teaches You More JavaScript?

  @Ben, I'm amused that you bring up jQuery here, because to me this whole argument comes down to the same things people say about jQuery. In fact there's a whole website for that: http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ When you're using jQuery, you're using JS, but you're not writing JS. Y... read more »

• My Personal Best Practices For Using LaunchDarkly Feature Flags

  Posted on Feb 17, 2020 at 3:11 PM

  Posted on Feb 14, 2020 at 3:17 PM

  Ben, I can't believe you didn't test this... Can you put a CFScript block inside of a tag island... and a tag island in that script block... and a cfscript block in that tag island... and so on, and so on?... read more »

• My Personal Best Practices For Using LaunchDarkly Feature Flags

  Posted on Feb 14, 2020 at 9:13 AM

  Wow Ben, this is way more than I ever expected in response! Sorry it took me so long to get through it all; but in my defense it's pretty huge! LaunchDarkly sounds pretty great, and I'm going to spend a bunch of time thinking about how it could benefit my team and our products. I'm sure it c... read more »

  Fantastic write-up, Ben! Thanks for sharing. And congrats on such an improvement. I know how accomplished that feels and that feeling is my heroin. I jones for it every day. I was particularly interested in your usage of feature flags. I have some initial thoughts on how I might approach tha... read more »
