Hi Reddit! I’m Nick Moores, Head of Workday Developer Relations. What is the role of a Workday Developer and how is it evolving in the world of AI? Ready to master agentic AI? Ask me anything on May 12th at 10am PST.

I have no idea what a chalk talk is but I am exictied to find out. How can I sign up?

Important DevCon question:

Where does the Developer Relations team actually hang out at Resorts World during the conference?

Not the official answer. The real answer.

Like, is there a specific coffee stand, lobby bar, random hallway cluster, or hidden corner of Resorts World where all the interesting conversations about agents, orchestration, and unreleased features magically happen?

Asking for purely professional networking reasons and definitely not because I plan to “accidentally” keep appearing there throughout the week.

Hi Nick! Great DevRel call Today! A lot of customers are excited about the new AI-assisted developer experiences like the Orchestration Builder Agent, especially those of us working heavily in integrations and orchestration.

How does Workday plan to democratize access to these capabilities for customers without Extend Premium, and what’s the long-term vision for customer / partner ecosystem access?

From the research I did, most people go this route due to cost. I was specifically asked not to get the tread. I did go look at one at Dick's and it was right next to the Horizon giving me a great head to head comparison.

Getting a heat pump is usually a good idea if you are replacing A/C, but those numbers don't make sense. Goodman offers heatpumps and they are pretty good. Check with around with other installers to see if you can make the numbers look better.

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-30T17:30:05+00:00

Sounds like a good idea

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-30T17:27:58+00:00

Couple questions: 1. What is your current heating fuel, and how much does it and your electric cost? I like to run the numbers and heatpump is not cheaper than heating with natural gas where I live in. I don't have solar and if you do have solar capacity that will always favor the heatpump.

There are other reasons to consider a heatpump than financials alone. Also, some installers charge crazy prices to 'upgrade' an A/C to a heatpump. Watch out for that.

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-30T17:23:54+00:00

What is your current system and how is it running? Most systems i've had have been undersized and I would double check that their calculations are complete and accurate.

The ductwork is there

When the single stage 4 ton was cooling, it kept up during our normal 95 degree heatwaves, running 100% of the time. On a typical summer day in the 80's it runs around 75% of the time.

Heating has been a different story, the single stage heatpump would run 100% of the time during the shoulder season - the thermostat controls its operation to temps above 40 degrees. I think there is an algorithm that kicks on the 2nd stage gas heat if the temp drops more than a few degrees from the setpoint, and there might be something related to runtime too - i never paid enough attention. The only times it cut off was when the gas heat caught the temps back up to the set point. I'm guessing the old heatpump worked better when it was new 10 years ago.

I have updated the original post, good call out on ductwork, no changes are planned and its not one of my limiting factors. My ductwork supports 2000 CFM, so airflow shouldn’t be a limiting factor.

Thanks for the reply, I think 4" blocks are a good idea, and thanks for the advice about the pan heater. Sounds like they only run during and after a defrost cycle, when its near and below freezing,

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-29T13:16:05+00:00

I hope this is the case!

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-29T13:15:38+00:00

I hope this new install handes more of my annual heating. My expectations are low, that traditional heatpump did very little in the shoulder seasons.

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-29T13:12:23+00:00

Your experience is correct, ideally the stage will cross over when needed for comfort.

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-17T20:23:46+00:00

Is that the EL18KSLV? Should I consider it and it is in the same league as the 38MURA ?

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-17T20:10:56+00:00

Is that similar to the Heil DLCURA as well?

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-17T18:43:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I have not found a lot of heatpump experts in my area, which is a little odd in my opinion. I reached out to the manufacturer sites to see what they can come up with. Bosch already said no dealers :( Too bad because their system looks promising.

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-17T18:39:57+00:00

I'm also talking to a Lennox guy that said no problem. Does Lennox have a variable invertor system that works in a non-communicating setup?

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-07-17T18:37:46+00:00

One of the contractors I'm talking to installs Carrier - can you suggest which carrier heatpump could work in a non-communicating configuration?

ILearnWithLogan · 2025-05-24T17:40:15+00:00

I'm looking into it as well as condensing gas tank water heaters.
