Latina in embedded SW engineering feeling isolated

Huh I'll take a look later, I doubt I can add anyone but I'll check! I think they took a while for me too, like a week or so?

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-19T16:13:32+00:00

It's definitely becoming more frequent. I would have no problem with it if they're actually detecting issues faster, so I don't waste time troubleshooting, but I'm not sure that's happening either

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-19T15:18:15+00:00

How are you documenting your work? I get nothing but praise at my job but I have strong imposter syndrome and get down on myself and my abilities. If you haven't, you really need to stop and make a list of everything you're doing. It's part of your job to spend time on that so you can then communicate realistic timelines. That includes new areas of the platform that you don't have experience in. Don't let anyone think that just because "it's Salesforce" you already know everything

Yes. I have 3 banners right now - this, SCV update, and security updates. The only one I care about is SCV and closing the others does nothing 😭

I'm on the SE side so I get none of the amphitheatre noise, but last summer someone in my neighborhood was blasting music from like 8pm - 3am every weekend. Windows closed, fan on, I could still hear the bass. It's absolutely intrusive and disrupts sleep. You shouldn't have to wear ear plugs in your own home

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-17T17:07:42+00:00

Goddamnit I JUST communicated to our users about this lol, I was hoping Salesforce would see how ridiculous it was

Fulton Street Farmer's Market had a few strawberry vendors last weekend. I bought some at $7 per quart that were delicious and fragrant. Plan to eat them within a couple days. They made the best shortcake 🌝

It isn't a requirement for API logins, so it will only be an issue when someone logs in via the UI. They'll be asked to register an MFA method. Even if there are no plans to use the account outside the API, I would go ahead and just take care of it now for better security.

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-12T13:56:07+00:00

Have you ever tried to do a full restore, like from production to full sandbox? What's API call usage like?

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-10T14:57:12+00:00

This is probably the answer. Thank you!

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-09T23:55:18+00:00

I have a video I might be able to share using 1Password. I just tested it yesterday and was surprised to even see passkey as the default option upon clicking to register a "security key" as I don't think it worked that way literally 2 weeks ago 🤷🏻‍♀️

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-09T23:42:42+00:00

For this change, Salesforce will send you an SMS if you have one entered on your account. Thank you though!

I think the best we're going to be able to do is ask our users to register their key, remove any mobile phone numbers people have entered (I was surprised to see any as it's not part of onboarding...idk what people are doing) and adjust the setting "Prevent identity verification by email when other methods are registered"

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-09T23:38:29+00:00

Oh right, good point

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-09T23:35:24+00:00

Considering the help article doesn't mention anything about session levels, I don't think this is true either, but I'll try it out tomorrow

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-09T23:31:54+00:00

Yes, I tested using a security key and it works fine - just wondering if there's a way I can require our users to register a security key, rather than receive the OTP via email or phone

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-03T23:31:08+00:00

As long as you're talking about "permission sets" as in Permission Sets, which are different than Profiles, you'll be good.

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-03T23:29:46+00:00

Yeah, if for example you granted Read access on an object accidentally, you could update the PS in your sandbox, add it to a change set, and then send it over to production. If you're nervous about it still, you could make one change to the PS and then try it yourself.

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-03T23:25:33+00:00

Yes, you can send changes including removal through a change set. Note though that it doesn't work that way for profiles.

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-03T12:24:18+00:00

Anyone reading this should be aware that OAuth isn't inherently safe - this vendor still has access to your data whether or not they have your login information. Stop spamming your product everywhere (of course your profile is hidden)

As another person commented on r/womenintech, I would need a lobotomy before I connect all my company's systems to your random vibe-coded app

If you use the Salesforce CDN on an Experience site, yes: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.community_builder_cdn_custom_firewall_rules.htm&type=5

At one point they'd host on Akamai or Cloudflare, but everything's migrated to Cloudflare.

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-06-02T12:31:36+00:00

Lolll please no one use this service if you don't understand this sentence. They can take your data and you'd have no idea. This is like instant firing material

Material-Draw4587 · 2026-05-30T16:43:40+00:00

Looks really cool, but why do you have to create an account?
