Hey CFML fans! It is that time of year again where I get to convince Adobe that they are making the correct decision to keep paying me money to muck around here and elsewhere talking about the merits of our particular flavor of your favorite programming language (and mine!) As I've said before, being an evangelist is a tricky thing, as mostly the metrics are "the community isn't actively hunting us with pitchforks" and so I depend on the good word of my customers and other CFML practitioners here to keep my rent paid & the beers flowing. If you are someone who I have helped in the last year, and wish to put in a good word with the leadership & management to whom I report to, please feel free to send me an email at takata@adobe.com which I will forward (en masse) to my manager as one of the metrics (community support & morale) which will be used to grade me on my work for the past quarter. If you do not feel comfortable sending this to me directly, please DM me here and I will provide a direct email for my manager. My official review/check-in is at the beginning of July, so we've got a bit of time to get stuff in. BIG IMPORTANT NOTE: No, I'm not being fired or whatever, this is just the life and times of an evangelist in literally any company. To leadership it can sometimes seem like I spend my days joking around with people on Slack or ranting on Twitch about JavaScript date functions, but hopefully you all know I do a lot more than that (I also share cookie recipes, obviously). 🙂

I will gladly participate. Look for an email from me soon.
