???: Salesforce is simply the best. You can do anything you can dream of with it. It can solve all of your pro—

Dev: Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Just wait till they try to do anything with it that only using configurables, isn't over optimised and hits cpu or soql (no, there's an O in that) limits.

And these bastards call themselves "experts".

I love and hate Salesforce some days.

@C0D4 YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. I AM A *TRAILBLAZER*. #innovayshun. NOBODY NEEDS TO WRITE CODE EVER AGAIN THANKS TO SHAREPO—. Just give it a second to load…………………………………………..THERE SEE!!!

@boombodies 👀 that hits a little close to home.

We don't need code, we can just fire up a record trigger flow and run a series of CRUD and wonder why it breaks with 19 records.

#NoCodeBlazers!!!!

This is my current hell.

@C0D4 You just haven’t collected enough badges yet to understand. In the meantime we offer Salesforce consulting services for a very reasonable $9999999999/hour while you lowly develop types get up to speed with where tech is headed. Look it’s processing 21 records now, I’ll send you an invoice!

#SalesforceNayshun

@boombodies OhMyGaWd that's a 10% increase!!!

I'm not worthy of your amazeballs.

Salesforce. Is. Utter. Shit.

@Root 🤔 it's... difficult at best, beyond a joke complicated though.

It's way to easy to get wrong - and I'm a php dev at heart - way to complicated to get right for anyone starting out, and you need a deep understanding of all the tools it offers to know which ones to actually use in any use case otherwise you screw yourself over later.

Hard to learn, harder to master, and amazing when you hop across the tight rope on one foot and get it right.

Then... someone decides to throw another package (add-on) on to the side of it and you have to start that tight rope again with even more complexities.

For anyone else reading:

The fastest way to developer burnout is to work on Salesforce for a company that's growing rapidly and have a giant budget to burn.

Source: some dumb fuck that thought it would be a good idea to jump into - @C0D4 2021 - RIP.

@C0D4 Well that’s good news! I work for a large not growing at all company!

They bought salesforce because “they are a big company and big companies use salesforce”. They’ve shelled out millions in licenses for a couple years now but only use it once a year to dump some excel data into to make some graphs.

I’ve been tasked with learning it and customizing it so people are enticed to use it more…….and integrating it with Oracle.

May the gods have mercy.

@boombodies ooh lucky. I'm at the rapid growth, throw everything at it, and change the way the company operates, kind of phase.

This is hidden gem for most, but usually has some great insights that don't get added to the dev docs.

I live in here all the time:

And this page alone will save you some anger management counselling and a new keyboard every few weeks if you haven't already found it.

@C0D4 Oooooo. Saved to bookmarks. Thanks for the reference material, I wasn’t aware of the architect area at all. Cheers!

I’m just grinding away at trailheads to begin with. That is one heck of a slick learning management system, I wish the docs for my projects were done like that (by someone else of course).

Dev: Sir this is a funeral.
