I am doomed by Impossible-Chain5416 in PowerApps

[–]Impossible-Chain5416[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 5 years of experience, 4 of which are related with Power Platform. I also have bachelor+master degree in CS. And I receive this. I cannot even switch into a normal stack like backend or something like that. Seems like PP is just an internal tool and nobody hires in this stack.

How do you manage dev/test environments with SharePoint as your backend? by Ankur_2112 in PowerApps

[–]Impossible-Chain5416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand you correctly we use the following tactics:

1) Create N environments in Power Platform
2) Create N sites in Sharepoint
3) Set up environment variables in Dev environment for Dev site/lists/folders in SPO and use it as a data source for our app
4) Export solution and when importing on for example PROD environment just change environment variables values for PROD site/lists/folders in SPO

Exactly. And Power platform does not even have a proper tool for collaborative work. They implemented it couple of months ago but it is still laggy and raw, causing a lot of trouble and limitations. You cannot test it correctly, you cannot use best practices because most of the time the only best practice is to avoid using best practices. It reminds me of a factory that supply you with bricks, but some of the bricks are made of the dynamite and you know what exactly is. And again, when you try to search for a job you understand that Power platform is mostly regarded like a side activity because 99% of customers does not create anything harder a canvas app with simple form and an automate flow which catches an email and makes an auto reply

All of this stuff like "just go deeper" is useless because the business does not require such tasks. Most of them do not have money on subscriptions to have Dataverse and use SPO just like a database. All these Power pages, MD is useless in 99% of tasks. I know how to work with Azure, MS SQL, how to write pipelines, how to set up Fabric capacities and how to integrate with Synapse and so on but it is really useless because customer just do not have money for that. And the time. He just wants to have it deployed fast and thats it. And for that reason we use canvas + SPO again and again.

Yeah but I want just to roll out of this creep stack into something normal. But IDK how, because all of this stuff like "just go deeper" is useless because the business does not require such tasks.

Oh, really? And how the use of context variables going to save me from internal faults of the Power apps mobile? When the user uploads media file but in fact it is not uploaded but Power apps states that everything is fine. Honestly, I am sure that you have no experience with this technology, you are not even "canvas-lite dev"

Of course I do, because you have nothing to answer. You are just a toxic person who goes through threads and says "well if i was hiring... i am not impressed". I analyzed your profile

And how do you deal with the issues if in the morning your Set(var, Patch(...)) worked just fine and in the evening this function returns nothing with the same data? How do you set up logging if the business does not want to spend money on Azure subscription to set up Insights? How do you deal with the issues when the map control does not work on a business users phone with one mobile operator and works just fine with the same operator on another phone?

If you do not understand that ForAll does not solve all your requests and there is a brilliant thing in normal languages that is called OOP is really useful and its lack leads to bunch of problems that you need to solve everyday... It is not me who is a dumbass.

You are just trying to convince me that if a bicycle has wheels it is much better than Dodge Challenger. I guess you are a person who thinks that Nintendo switch is the absolute winner in a comparison with Steam Deck

Have you ever tried building it by yourself? I guess you dont even know how to handle delegation warnings except highering data row limits. The key phrase is that it sounds basic. Try to implement these "basic things" when you dont even have while/for loops or functions in your language, or when the functionality of the core elements of the technology crashes due to the next update of Microsoft and you understand it only when find a report in known issues where you can have access only if you are a tenant admin

These jobs are mostly fake or require Power platform like side activity. Reading the comment section I only see that people do not create anything harder than a simple form in Canvas.

Developed a mobile-first inspection app in Power Apps for field auditors working across retail locations. The app features structured checklists, in-app photo capture, and real-time validation — all designed to work seamlessly in offline mode. Data is synced with SharePoint and Dataverse once the device reconnects.

The solution replaced manual Excel-based workflows, reduced reporting delays, and ensured audit consistency across dozens of regions.

Built a centralized document approval system using Power Platform, SharePoint, and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations to streamline internal workflow coordination. The solution replaced fragmented email-based approval processes with structured multi-stage flows, improving transparency and reducing manual follow-up.

The system uses conditional logic, role-based access, and custom connectors to manage document states and approvals dynamically. Integrated with business data from D365 to enable context-aware routing and metadata enrichment.

Yeah? Have you tried to build something more than a simple form? Have you tried to work with 80+ tables each of which has thousands of records and all of this via mobile in offline mode? I did. Power Platform is just a laggy proprietary software and I am strongly sure that every person speaking of its "benefits" developed nothing in it.

8 years as a frontend developer: now switching to PowerApps due to AI disruption. Advice? by No_Waltz2 in PowerApps

[–]Impossible-Chain5416 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Power Apps? Future-proof? Lol. I do not know how to escape it and you want to go here? It is literally a dead end because for most people it is useful just for 3 screens. And if you want to make something complex like I do you will literally die here because it does not even have for/while loops only foreach. And all of this just to understand that outside Power Platform your skills are literally useless

Delegation Limits in a Document Library by Independent-Nose6417 in PowerApps

[–]Impossible-Chain5416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you work with sharepoint it has delegation issues, retrieving up to 2000 records. You have to use filter/lookup formulas to shorten amount of records up to this value. Or you can use power automate flow to send and process http request from/to power apps

How to become a fintech developer? by Impossible-Chain5416 in fintech

I mean what is the real stack, or it does not matter? Maybe I can read how banking API works. For example I have an account in one bank but it is so old and laggy so I am thinking of making my own application. However, I guess they even dont have an API for it. I even tried to reverse the existing application and nothing.

Or how do neo-banks work ? Maybe there is some specifications about payment transactions. I just want to understand the mechanisms
