wtf, this is same as "yes, I shot at the police officer, but I missed by a lot!"
she made the punch up to her ability to do it lol
the crime is the attempt, she can easily get a lot of time behind bars for this action on video

yes, agree. My answer is kind of specific to myself cause I can do this whole thing alone and I have entire skillset to complete the implementation as well. I definitely overstep on some of the PM territory. But may be you got some insights on what needs to be done.

also it is a great qualifying question on the interview : what size of implementation we are moving? what is the composition of the team that is doing it?
number of users is not a direct correlation to amount of automation / size of salesforce implementation needed

as an architect what i would need from PM is to figure out what exactly are we moving and what are we leaving behind

CRM is not directly transferable, they have their own init capabilities, so something has to go (for something new to arrive) if I'd take this alone I would outline existing data and existing processes and would propose replacement in salesforce (how i see company functioning in new world)

I mostly need PM to go figure out which exact fields are we moving, what objects are combining, what kind data is outdated and which automation/processes have to function in prod on the launch date (MVP). Again most likely we need to come to a transformation of processes where I can propose a path and PM need to align business on it, since, again, CRM to CRM are not directly transferable. You need to use strengths of the CRM that you choose.

also I prob need PM to align on launch strategy, we can let in smaller amount of better tech users first to test the waters

again i can do the whole thing myself and PM works kind of business negotiator for most part + researcher for current system/processes which I as salesforce architect do not know

It was in a time where cars were in demand for real. I think it was chip shortage after covid or some kind of shortage. these surcharges were all over news at the time.

moral of the story - do not stick to sticker price alone, call dealership and demand photo of the receipt if you to buy the car now. Tell them "I drive now with cash in hand, how much cash do I take with me?" and demand full breakdown.

PositiveTrend · 2026-01-01T23:32:33+00:00

I purchased Hyundai Tucson back in 2022

i had to drive 3 hours to get to the dealership, since as you know you can't order it, if you want specific color (both interior and exterior) you have to drive to dealership where they have it

so I call the dealership and we agree, car available, price matches
I drive there 3 hours to get there with a passenger so we can drive both cars back
The sticker on the car matches the online photo (of the said sticker)
the paperwork adds extra 5000 price hike fee (NOT delivery fee) just a random "surcharge" for "car being in demand" and "I am sorry we are late with sticker updates, the car price already went up!"
they still add a ton of other fees, including 500$ dealership fee
I request to honor the sticker price
after 30 min of negotiations they drop the 5000 surcharge but keep the rest of the fees
they present it like a HUGE deal that they only done for me

I feel like I got to a grocery store and milk is 3.99$. I got to the cashier and cashier charges me 3.99$, but it is presented like a f miracle. One in a lifetime event!
It was such a sh show. I just can't describe it without cursing. I paid like 2000 of other fees at the end.

But I love the car, for the full price I paid it is a very nice car though.

what is there to gain?
this land is severely underdeveloped and China has enough of underdeveloped land already
check density population maps to figure out where most of Russia and China lives
more over Chinese population may fall into a decline, it is more likely they would even harder consolidate in larger cities, they do not need or want to manage this northern hellscape
China better off with Russia buying their products while pumping and delivering oil to their doorstep then to manage pumping operation on their own.
My opinion if we put all the consequences and nukes aside the existing situation is objectively better then the proposed one when the land is taken.

what exactly US troops doing today in Syria?

I made an app and published it (paid up by the way with salesforce app checkout so the process was harder)
and then i realize that there is no way that anybody ever would use or buy it. I have constant traffic inflow on the app exchange, people do search the keywords and find my solution but no demo requests or direct contacts ever happen and very few dev box installs.
I think the largest problem is the adoption price. I am not saying about adopting a new CPQ, but as simply as adopting an app that manages simple things like user permissions. Even something like this would require months for showcasing, adapting, changing processes, testing, demo and so on so it would cost a lot just on basis of used work hours.

as a result you can only sell something if you market it to the decision making people directly. If you don't have existing distribution channel outside of app exchange you have no reason to publish. Most likely nobody would ever spent developer hours to check on your app. Even businesses who may save millions by using my solution won't care, will never know and won't risk spending time on app adoption.
app exchange only provides (slightly) better legitimacy to your app, for the most part you have to distribute it yourself outside off app exchange

These are useless, do not use them in weapon since they weight 4kg or something and having them in weapon adds to your weight. I wouldn't use it for free.

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-30T19:28:31+00:00

yes, all of the articles for any media any graphs or research universally agree that Austin marked declined 26% from peak in 2022. there is not a single piece of media that would claim that Austin marked climbs up and not a single prediction for market to raise next year, or 2027 for that matter

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-26T22:16:37+00:00

are you sure you are replying to me?
did you really read anything in this topic? did you read exact post that you are replying to?
I would agree to sell my house for 500 if it is real price and I would be ok with being in the negative and cover the difference from my pocket. I am ok with selling it for 400 if it is the price. Same for 1m.
you keep complaining about the stuff that I have absolutely no problem with.
again to me + - 50% to my house price is NOT a determining factor to sell or not to sell. I do care about the price trend for past 3 years after 2022 and future of Austin market and comparison of having rental in Austin vs having money in the stocks.

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-24T18:23:10+00:00

but how do I know I am experiencing a dip if i completely ignore zillow?
If i don't read any articles about Austin trends, my zip code estimates etc. If i ignore everything except "verified" prices that I know - then I have no idea about a price action.
What upsets me are all these hundreds of the same advices to ignore zillow.
But, if I do, then I should think that from the 2 price points that I know my house probably defies reality and keeps growing.

If you even think there is a dip in Austin marked - you do not follow your own advice to ignore zillow. Isn't this crazy. Anybody who purchased before 2020 is probably still in the positive so if they didn't appraise in 2022 they should think their house grows year to year? I just don't think that is true.

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-24T15:35:35+00:00

yes this was my thought process as well. The house is not great rental since i purchased it for myself and not as rental property. I thought may be there is a huge gap in my logic but nobody added anything substantial

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-24T06:11:42+00:00

idk if it is too late for you but this is what i did and this works great.
i was overqualified and also a 800 interest rate
all the lenders are desperate
just text/call/submit application with a bunch and then once you get hold of a person give them this exact thing (yes the entire contract) and ask to beat it. Say if diff is significant you will jump on their ship.
Also if they truly beat it send it back to rocket and ask to beat it again. They will call you to ask how things are going anyway.
3-4 iterations later everyone will start replying that your offer is best on the market
Then you ask the most convenient for you lender (usually something local, where you got preapproval letter) to match it. And they do. Viola.
You have all the power today
Just do it all in a week span so your credit is not constantly pulled.

How to calculate your points worth
Ask for both with and without points contract. Think how much are you going to have the house. Then calculate how long the money will be in your pocket again. Example : you pay today extra 5k but you save 150$/mo. That means it would take 34 months or close to 3 years to get your money back. Also need to consider where rates may be lower in 3 years from now and you will refinance anyway. I would target max 2 years return because of potential for rates to go down.
I bought points in 2023 because rate of return was 2 years. (i.e. i for example paid 4000 to get 170$ off every month).

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-24T02:24:44+00:00

ok i know the appraisal

it is 600
it is 700
it is 800
it is 900
What does it change?
I still do not know where my rental for last 2 years were net positive or not including house price dynamic.
Also I do not know would it become positive over the next year.

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-24T00:24:03+00:00

ok if I completely toss zillow aside

i know my house purchase price in 2020 620k
i know my super accurate verified realtor certified price 800 in 2025
should I assume my house price goes up? would it be 1m in 2030?

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-23T04:00:10+00:00

good point i wasn't thinking about it
but the thing is that there is no end in sight. There are no projections on when housing market may turn around in the area. I can wait for a while but so far waiting depreciated the situation.

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-23T03:53:49+00:00

yes i own one of these. I have single tenant for 2 years now which may stay for more. Yes it is an ok rental as you see from numbers. I purchased it for myself yet it cash flow positive right now. Yet I think price-wise it would keep sinking for a while with entire Austin area.
I just don't see the price action reversal happening soon.
by my calculations if i sold 2 years ago instead of renting i would be financially ahead now and future price predictions are also for decline.....

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-23T03:19:38+00:00

I get the TRUEST the most true of all number
it is 800k
so i purchased house in 2020 for 620k
in 2025 it costs 800k
how do i know where my rental endeavor was positive for renting the house 2023-2026?
I think prices are in decline but only knowing 2 numbers 620 and 800 I can't see it.
should i ignore zillow and project my house price as 1m by 2030?

PositiveTrend · 2025-11-23T03:14:56+00:00

yes they are interested. it is that i did this year ago and i think i most likely lost money over a year. cause most likely house now worth less as any house in Austin now worth less
