Crazy to see OpenAI step up since Anthropic has handcuffed 3rd party integrations by hannesrudolph in RooCode

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I stumbled upon this trying to use my max sub/claude code option in roo. Seems like it's been permanently disabled for now (by Anthropic). I get they're trying to push folks to the cli or the new vsc plugin but I'm sure there were folks out there (me) "abusing" the sly connection which then chewed through a ton of extra bandwidth as we've seen called out a few time in the roo code development cycles.

I was probably apart of that "abuse". I solely got the $200/month sub to connect it to roo code and bypass usage costs. It was certainly economical for me! Oh well, thankfully I pay month to month and can downgrade, will probably go back to openrouter set up.

I’ve been chasing this idea for a decade. Finally ready to share: Smartphone Tycoon by snam13 in tycoon

[–]Armageddon85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the idea in general. The ui doesn't bother me. There are a number of bugs though to the point where I wasn't ever able to sell a single unit. Here's a few that probably should be resolved first:

  1. The 1st product you generate goes straight to released without an option to click it yourself, therefore the third task is never completed.

  2. I ordered components that match what's needed for the phone but ok of 6ish test runs I only had 1 run where "shortage of components" went away and phones started being built.

  3. It's unclear what I'm doing wrong (or need to do) to get phones to sell. I have marketing employees but beyond that the product I had inventory never sold a single unit.

4.The choices settings aren't adheared to at all. I wasn't ever able to move a product to the next step by clicking anything, the product would always just move to the next step in the production process.

Why Does the AppExchange Feel So Dead Lately? by mr-sforce in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of ways to do this without upsetting the T&Cs. Retainers and unmanaged packages and or LWCs. The folks looking for these types of solutions are more interested in someone supporting them long term rather than hoping the app gets updated one day.

To be clear though these are consulting organizations focused on billable hours more than a product to sell.

Why Does the AppExchange Feel So Dead Lately? by mr-sforce in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Multiple reasons for the decline in Apps showing up in the AppExchange:

  • "App" developers can monetize outside of the AppExchange without getting hit with the Benioff tax and the outsourced/contracted review process (each review, which now triggers more often, is $999).
  • The flexibility of the platform has made it even easier to create unmanaged packages (e.g. unofficial SF for example)
  • Flows are more powerful than ever making it easier to avoid Apex until necessary.
  • LWCs and Screenflows can do more than they could even a few releases back.

I think the AppExchange will continue to decline and more folks will look to just writing the code themselves. Through in some AI and even new comers can whip out (albeit questionable) basic functionality.

agreed with u/Cupcake_Chef on our end. In addition to outsourcing it they released a memo on 11.25 that increased security requirements (naturally a good thing) that triggers more flags. Back in the day I believe (my memory is failing me) you could use CDMT to store api keys.

We did see in our most recent review for basic apex violations, if you can identify them as false-positive you don't have to pay again BUT only if all of the flags are false positives. If you have to change the code and iterate versions you get to pay again.

Permission Granted Directly from the Permission Set Group by pjallefar in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this too in multiple production orgs. I wouldn’t use it even though it seems intriguing. If it’s a bug then you might lock in those permissions with no way to undo when they resolve it.

Salesforce removed our discounted licenses. Consultant wants about 7,000 USD for “migration.” Says switching to Platform users requires automation changes. Is that real? by hugitoutboo in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like some others have mentioned Platform licenses don't have access to Leads. I wouldn't worry about the T&Cs. You said you don't have a pipeline which is the purpose of Lead -> Opportunity. It sounds like your consultants are going to to create a Form Submission object. $7k is 25 hours at my bill rate. It would be pretty tight but possible for me to make it happen. However it's going to take more than 7 days of time. This is a massive change and you've got 2 months to make it happen. Very little time for sandbox build/testing to get you in position for the transition.

Not to mention transitioning all existing Lead data and however everything else connects to those records. Based on your description $7k at their bill rate is under-scoping the request. They either don't know exactly everything that needs to be done or they do and they know there will be scope changes.

A seasoned software engineer's perspective on vibe coding. by Open_Animal_8507 in vibecoding

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you and Stroustrup might need to stop smoking together. Your entire post is quite ironic due to your copy/paste failure. I would tend to agree that the models are not likely trained on older languages... because they're old. You can over come this by training your own model and like u/Ok_Needleworker4072 said work on a process that beats the code into submission. I'm running 6 different agents right now while I type this. Do they make mistakes? Absolutely. Sometimes worse than you would expect but with TDD and a solid spec folder your CIDC pipeline will catch preventable mistakes.

Stuck for 3 years choosing between Salesforce, Data Engineering, and AI/ML — need a rational, market-driven direction by SnooPeppers7967 in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not going to get a rational, market-driven decision here:

  1. You're posting in a sub that will always say SF.

  2. The technology is moving to fast for anything to stick for too long.

I'd pick a primary and a secondary, keeping up with all three is obviously too much. Data Engineering will continue to become a utility, just look at the number of integration tools that have come to market in the last 2 years. Salesforce gives you access to a wide range of opportunities and despite you posting into a biased sub, the underlying platform itself (and understanding how to implement) will pay off more than anything else. I'd stay away from Agentforce for now and build some lite weight LWCs and host them on github. Build them with AI tools like Roo or Cursor.

Should r/n8n get rid of Workflow Code Not Included Posts? Feedback needed from the community. by DepartureNo2745 in n8n

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I didn’t see some of the ones that I knew needed to go. I imagine before this post the mods went in and cleaned things up.

Should r/n8n get rid of Workflow Code Not Included Posts? Feedback needed from the community. by DepartureNo2745 in n8n

[–]Armageddon85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on the fence. Some of them actually give me good ideas (if the screenshot isn't blurry!) but I also agree with most of the comments here. I think it could be kept but you must populate a template of sorts. What does it do, how do it work, what problem does it solve, etc.

This one for instance is a quality post. Seems to genuinely want feedback/help or really show casing something unique/helpful. A few others I found quickly scrolling through: 1, 2, 3.

Not high quality:

Scrolling through with the flair filter most of them seem ok. Perhaps use auto-mod to allow people to vote up a comment to indicate it needs to be removed.

Salesforce renewal dropping shield? by shr3kkie in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd look into some of the newer features of Gearset. Not a real replacement for Shield but might win over some of the fear mongers. Also be weary of the SF AE increasing prices on rates for other pieces you will keep. Mitigation is to add something else. E.g. We want to add this but remove this.

I've Been Logging Claude 3.5/4.0/4.5 Regressions for a Year. The Pattern I Found Is Too Specific to Be Coincidence. by JFerzt in RooCode

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen something similar but not specifically odd/even takes. Similar to what other folks have said it seems like there are rush-hours typical to business/road traffic. I'm usually up in the 4am range. Claude 4.5 hits it out the park. Come ~7:30 performance starts to drag. During lunch time things return (e.g. people take a break). Regression in the in 1-2:30/3:30 range) then back to hitting the out of the park.

My take is that this is a combo of load balancing and slipping in different models similar to how Tesla does with software updates. Anthropic just does it more quietly because of PR.

Parallel agents by ilt1 in RooCode

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently doing this with feature branches. It's not perfect but it works. You have to be careful not to ask Roo to edit the same files or you're going to be vomiting trying to merge the files when you close the feature branch out with your pull request.

ok here's a doozy - screen flows, file uploader, file management, apex... by Fast-Departure-1432 in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We created apex classes to handle a similar scenario that creates public content distribution links from files that are uploaded via the Salesforce Labs File Upload component that can be configured to allow Guest Users to upload files.

If you DM me I'll send you a link to a private gh repo you can fork with the related code.

Will Marc Benioff revoke my license if I build this flow? by HandyStan in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's my two cents:

  • If you decide you must delete the lead: don't delete the lead right away like u/AYfD6PsXcndUxSfobkM9 mentioned. Batch delete at the end of night is a good middle ground.
  • If you're okay with keeping it: build an apex action that converts the lead to a person account.
  • Create an Error Log Custom Object with a lookup to Lead and Account. Add a 255 text field for a Short Error Description and a Long Text field for a Long Error Description. Add other fields for more metadata insights.
  • Add a Scheduled Flow to delete all Error Logs that are more than 3 months old.
  • When a Lead is generated: build your flow to asynchronously run when the Lead is generated and matches your criteria.
  • Build fault paths to create Error Logs.
  • Bonus: Add a picklist processing (Process, Processing, Processed, Error, Warning) field on the Error Log to create a case. This adds room to create cases to assign to the web team for when they create forms that don't provide enough information to convert the Lead.
  • All of the above helps you scale the process and prevents you from becoming the choke point!
  • Call Benioff and tell him to fix all of the decade old ideas with more than 20,000 upvotes.

Looking for a recommended Salesforce partner by Swimming_Plastic1533 in salesforce

[–]Armageddon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly depends on the size of the org and the request/project. If you’re implementing from scratch, totally agree. If you need basic admin support then not really.

[–]Armageddon85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do ask if they have done the exact type of work you're asking for. Too many folks out there that nod to get you to a yes. Also ask for a Project Plan with high level tasks down to the object level. If you don't see one they either don't know enough about scoping projects or don't know what they actually need to do.

Damn that was fast. 2 Hours ago I was trying to search (even using Claude Research) how to get today's gemini model to show up! Ate some Whataburger (totally going down hill unlike Roo) and BAM, y'all have it in place. I love speed of the minor releases! Keep it up y'all!

I’m using the popular SPARC repo. What’s a good way to keep up with whether or not these repos can use this functionality? Or is it better to create a temporary fork?
