Your Development Team Is at Capacity. Here’s How to Keep Critical Work Moving!
The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.
For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork
Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.

Regretably Michael's site is down for rework... but the message says relaunch Real Soon Now.
I worked through the first five installments and I believe it's worth going back there till it is back on line. Good step-by-step, good foundation, MORE, MICHAEL, MORE!
Can't wait for installment six, and for the rest of the community, for the site to be back on the air.
HEY LOUIS, could you talk to Michael about hosting the tut's as like a mirror? You could stay one tut behind him so folks would still go to his site for the latest, but could get a taste from your site if/when his is down?

That is a very good idea orc,
I will definitely mention it to Michael, to see if he agrees.
Well, I guess he would read this? Michael?

Luis,
Do you know of any other tutorials? The link above doesn't work anymore.

Luis,
I was wondering if your book has step-by-step on how to build a fully functional Coldbox application?
