2/23/23 - Blog - Ben Nadel - Async Communication Is Great, Except For When It's Awful
Async (asynchronous) communication at the work place is having a moment. The pandemic acted as a forcing function, demonstrating that remote work isn't only possible but — in many cases and for many people — both preferable and more productive. Remote work, however, lead to an ever-more remote workforce which lead to a diversity of time zones which lead to collaboration issues. Async communication is intended to resolve some of these issues; and, to provide workers with more uninterrupted, deep-thought time. And, to be clear, I am a fan of async communication. But, I believe that there is an overused toxic form of async communication: Consensus building.

2/14/23 - Tweet - Brad Wood - CommandBox `forgebox version-debug` command
I've added a cool little command called "forgebox version-debug" to CommandBox vNext which will help debug which package versions a semantic version range matches.

ForgeBox Module of the Week

Logstash

This module provides a common interface for sending Logstash logs to elasticsearch. The module may be used with either a direct connection to an Elasticsearch server or may be installed as a client-only module, which connects to a separate instance running this module as a microservice.

VS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the Week

mkcert

mkcert is a simple tool for making locally-trusted development certificates. It requires no configuration.

```
$ mkcert -install
Created a new local CA 💥
The local CA is now installed in the system trust store! ⚡️
The local CA is now installed in the Firefox trust store (requires browser restart)! 🦊

$ mkcert example.com "*.example.com" example.test localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1

Created a new certificate valid for the following names 📜
- "example.com"
- "*.example.com"
- "example.test"
- "localhost"
- "127.0.0.1"
- "::1"

The certificate is at "./example.com+5.pem" and the key at "./example.com+5-key.pem" ✅
```

```
box server start sslCertFile=example.com+5.pem sslKeyFile=example.com+5-key.pem
```
