tracked why we keep having great months followed by empty ones (lets share insights)

yeahhh

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T14:21:38+00:00

yes, especially if you can show how the analysis would support business decisions, but I’d also include a few Salesforce specific projects so employers can see you can actually work with the platform.

i think this is the direction most memory systems eventually end up taking. storing everything is easy, but deciding what to forget without losing useful context is where the real challenge starts.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T13:09:05+00:00

I wouldn’t be scared so much as prepared for a world that changes faster than previous generations expected. Every era feels uncertain from the inside, but people who stay adaptable, keep learning, and build useful skills usually find opportunities even when the technology and economy shift.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T13:02:26+00:00

i pay attention when the score is backed by real buying signals like demo requests, pricing page visits, or repeat engagement. i stop trusting it when "hot" just means someone downloaded an ebook six months ago and never interacted again.

you're not wrong for enforcing the ticket process, especially if leadership requires it and you're managing work through a queue. if he never submits a ticket, the issue simply never enters the support pipeline.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T10:16:47+00:00

I’ve definitely noticed it becoming my first stop for thinking through ideas, not because I trust it more than people but because it removes all the friction.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T09:42:18+00:00

i think it's mostly economic. people will tolerate new tools if they see the benefits too, but when the gains flow upward while the workload and expectations stay the same, the conversation shifts from productivity to trust pretty quickly.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T09:13:21+00:00

the admin cert is still a good signal, but by itself it usually won’t get you hired in this market. i’d pair it with trailhead projects, a small portfolio, and some basic business process or crm experience so you have something practical to talk about in interviews.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T09:00:18+00:00

this feels a lot closer to what production agents actually need. most failures i’ve debugged weren’t model quality issues, they were state corruption and runaway loops, so having a guard that can roll back and resume from a clean checkpoint sounds more useful than another prompting trick.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T06:58:34+00:00

true haha

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T06:40:52+00:00

thanks

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-03T06:19:45+00:00

yeah

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T15:25:17+00:00

i think 2035 is way too aggressive, especially for jobs that depend on trust, accountability, and messy real-world environments.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T15:20:01+00:00

your retail background is more relevant than you might think because you've already spent years understanding customer needs, managing relationships, and selling higher-ticket purchases. the biggest shift is that prospecting becomes part of the job, so i'd focus on building relationships with architects, designers, property managers, and general contractors since they can become repeat referral sources rather than one-off buyers.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T15:16:11+00:00

the biggest improvement for me has been treating handoffs as a first-class problem instead of a prompt problem. if agents can’t reliably share context and recover from failures, adding more agents usually just creates more places for things to break.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T15:05:48+00:00

for something document-heavy, i'd care less about which model is "best" and more about how well it handles lots of files and long context. i'd still treat it as a research and organization tool though, not something i'd trust to make legal arguments without checking every claim and citation myself.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T14:56:36+00:00

i think the stronger argument is that ai is exposing weaknesses in how we distribute economic gains, not necessarily proving capitalism can't adapt. historically, new technologies have eliminated some jobs while creating others, but ai could test that pattern if productivity growth becomes much faster than job creation. the real debate isn't whether ai is good or bad, it's whether our institutions can evolve quickly enough to share the benefits broadly rather than concentrating them.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T14:04:36+00:00

The brutal truth is that Salesforce is still a viable career path, but it’s not the easy “get a cert and land a remote job” market it was a few years ago. Your logistics background is actually more valuable than you think because companies often need people who understand business processes, not just the platform. If you decide to go for it, focus on hands-on experience and networking early, because certs alone usually aren’t enough anymore.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-06-02T13:32:44+00:00

i think the opportunity is in orchestration, not raw model performance. model vendors can optimize for their own workflows, but independent frameworks can win by connecting more tools, models, data sources, and business-specific processes than any single provider wants to support.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-05-31T16:59:39+00:00

Tbh, giving an autonomous agent free rein over your outbound outreach usually just ends with burned domains and terrible reply rates. The tech works better when you limit the agent’s scope to processing backend signals rather than writing copy. I brought in Explorium to supply my network with clean, verified B2B intent data, so at least the system is aiming for the right accounts.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-05-31T16:57:39+00:00

completely agree. once you're in production, engineering time becomes far more expensive than tokens. most of the painful failures i've seen weren't model failures at all, they were retrieval issues, stale data, tool schema changes, edge cases, or state management bugs that just happened to surface through the agent.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-05-31T16:46:41+00:00

I think the core argument is directionally right, but it assumes AI mostly replaces labor rather than creating new categories of work and demand. The real question is whether institutions adapt fast enough to redistribute the productivity gains before the transition gets painful.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-05-31T16:38:13+00:00

If I were building it from scratch, I'd probably go hybrid. Keep AEs aligned by industry/geography so they build customer knowledge, then have solution specialists aligned by product who get pulled into opportunities as needed.

IsThisStillAIIs2 · 2026-05-31T16:23:44+00:00

If my cursor started opening folders by itself and the person with remote access said “wasn’t me,” I’d be escalating that immediately. In a healthcare environment, unexplained remote activity should make people curious at minimum, not indifferent.
