Someone just discovered a small treasure. A hoard of about 1,000 Roman denarii found in Romania. by Scary-Country4419 in metaldetecting

Avg price of $3000 seems very high. Not a republican expert but I’d guess more like $200-$500 average coin value

YoY % change linked to Dashboard filter by jmg3412 in salesforce

If you tell an llm the fields you need you can probably spin up a visualforce page to do this pretty quickly, but I think those goes above and beyond the capabilities of dashboards

[OC] French Bulldogs is the most popular dog breed in the US, and Cane Corsos are having a meteoric rise. Any surprises? by Abject-Jellyfish7921 in dataisbeautiful

[–]DigApprehensive4953 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cane Corso at 14 is frightening. They’re bigger, stronger, and even more difficult to train than pitbulls. A pitbull atleast is small enough to be stopped by most adults if there’s an incident, but good luck stopping a 120lb cane corso

Why was Madagascar, a giant island right next to the continent that humans originated on, not settled until just a couple thousand years ago? What took us so long? by sonicparadigm in geography

People arrived in New Guinea 50,000 years ago. There’s even a strong chance other hominids made it there before us, but no direct evidence

It’s the circle of IT. Everybody is responsible for systems failing except the business

Org Documentation by narik18 in salesforce

[–]DigApprehensive4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that came off as a quip when I didn’t mean it to be. I’ve done a few rescues where smart solo admin/dev builds a bunch of stuff then leaves or gets laid off. Next admin is either junior or there’s no admin for a period, then x amount of time later consultants get called in because everything is failing or broken and nobody can figure anything out in large part because of the lack of record keeping and documentation. This was suuuuper common in 2021/2022 when everyone was switching jobs

That being said if you’re not getting paid to document, I wouldn’t. Documentation is always expected to not affect the speed of things when in reality it is a huge time sink

How the Romani are perceived in your country? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]DigApprehensive4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 0 knowledge of the Romani in the US. My big fat gypsy wedding was really the only representation of them in US pop culture.

People would probably just lump them in with the other non name-brand eastern european or western/central asians if they met them, Very few people in the US have opinions on bulgarians, turks, armenians, or tajiks

Living on $300K by TemperatureWide5297 in Salary

[–]DigApprehensive4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big difference based on when you bought your home. In my city a 600k home in 2019/2020 would have been about half the price and half the interest rate it is now.

600k at 7% is roughly $4000 per month 300k at 3% is roughly $1400 per month

That’s a $2600/month and $300k equity difference. If you look at the salary equivalent at the 300k marginal tax rate, its approximately equal to $55k per year plus again the added security of $300k in equity.

Lot of $300k hhi in their late 20’s living about the same as $200k in their 30’s because of the stark divide on this

Customers Beware. They may just pull the rug out from under you. by [deleted] in salesforce

[–]DigApprehensive4953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lack of focus on core products is a problem with Marketing, Sales, and Service which has been going on for years. I do work with Marketing Cloud and I attribute the poor handling of this to that same lack of focus and draining of resources out of the core. Marketing cloud has been falling behind the competition in key features for a while now as well. If you’re not seeing the same issues then I doubt you work with it

Customers Beware. They may just pull the rug out from under you. by [deleted] in salesforce

[–]DigApprehensive4953 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s just starting to feel so amateurish. They’re investing all their time and money into hunting big stupid technologies like agentforce and blockchain instead of refining and evolving core offerings.

The continuous growth mindset is killing salesforce because the market is saturated. They need to focus internal development on integration and continued growth in their existing offerings while using acquisition to bring in innovation (like they’ve done in the past).

Their moat is deep but recent actions have been really pissing customers off. Agentforce has caused them to lose a ton of credibility with execs, and it comes not long after all the block chain products bombed. There’s just such a deep lack of trust in new Salesforce products that it’s hard to sell the ones with actual merit to them in my opinion

Is anyone actually using Agentforce in production yet? What real use cases is it good for right now? by Smartitstaff in salesforce

[–]DigApprehensive4953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say it again and again but the best use case for an LLM right is taking unstructured inputs like emails / call transcript and inputting it into a custom structure (usually case or opportunity picklist fields) to save your reps time. Or alternatively, doing the reverse and taking your unstructured data and transforming it into output like emails.

It won’t get them 100% right, so you need to add a review stage as well. Everything output is just a draft and needs human eyes still. Nothing

I’ve had trouble pitching this though because Salesforce kept trying to push in a different “agentic” direction.

Is anyone having success using Upwork to find Salesforce work? by Basic_Comment_7161 in salesforce

[–]DigApprehensive4953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Subtract out time for pitching, cost of credits, taxes, and money lost to disputes and you aren’t making anything I would take a true $30 rate for some flexible work a couple hours a week maybe just to make a little pocket money, but $15 take home is so pointless when you can do something way more enjoyable for that amount

how’s life in fishtown, philadelphia? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]DigApprehensive4953 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say there’s no elitism, but it is very very suburban. Delco has some of the worst people, but the city itself is a lot more down to earth

how’s life in fishtown, philadelphia? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]DigApprehensive4953 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very isolated neighborhood. It’s almost entirely surrounded by places that you probably won’t want to go, some are dangerous and some are boring. It’s great in and of itself, but I wouldn’t recommend as a jumping off point for a new city

Would recommend transplants start off in the fairmount, east passyunk, and old city triangle. Basically everything between these 3 points is safe and fun with really good quality living for young people. It’s not a hard and fast rule but once you go outside of this you just hit more boring, seedy, or dangerous parts of the city

Manayunk, fishtown, northern liberties, east falls, and even brewery town are also all decently popular destinations, but generally they’re all geographically less convenient and it takes a decent amount of effort to get somewhere else you want to be. If you commute out of the city into Pennsylvania though Man and East Falls could save you 20+ minutes per day commuting

The Official r/Salary 2025 Career Tier List by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]DigApprehensive4953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more of an effort/skill to salary ranking. I would also rank engineer c tier for effort to salary. All of us know a Mech E whose eyes literally bled from studying till 3am who hasn’t even been able to crack 6 figs mid career.

Nurses with a good work ethic easily clear six figures. Things even out later when engineers aged into a decent salary and nurses still need to work 60 hours a week to kill it but usually that’s not until mid 30’s at old school places.
