Interview transcript

Michael:          Welcome back to the show. I'm here with Jorge Reyes, and we're talking about a very interesting subject. And it's very serious for some developers out there in ColdFusion which is ColdFusion suicide, depression, and recovery. And Jorge here has a very interesting story to tell of a couple of experiences he's had with this. But we're gonna start off the show with a quick true or false quiz for everyone listening. And we're also gonna look at if you have any friends who’ve either thought about suicide, or committed suicide, how you can deal with that. And we'll have some resources in case anyone's feeling suicidal, or knows someone who is. So, very important topic. Welcome Jorge.

Jorge:               Thank you Michael.

Michael:          So, you mentioned you put together a little quiz for me and the listeners; true or false.

Jorge:               true or false

Michael:          What are those questions?

Jorge:               Yeah, because it is important that we kind of set in check some of the assumptions that people have about suicide, or people considering to commit suicide. So, I wanted to kind of access you and the audience with those.

Michael:          I'm ready.

Jorge:               yeah

Michael:          I hope everyone listening has sharpened their pencils, or their fingertips on their keyboard.

Jorge:               So the first one…

Michael:          We’ll put it on the show notes too.

Jorge:               Cool!
