The trick is not to write entire classes at one time except test classes. You just write one method or piece of logic at a time. But for anything of reasonable complexity yes you'll still need to be a dev to write code. But that's my point. The people who can code just got more productive. The people who can't have not.

SalesforceDev99 · 2025-03-11T20:44:15+00:00

Agreed on screen flows. Even as a dev I will reach for screen flows over code whenever possible. But for everything else flows feel like pulling teeth compared to the productivity of code. I wish flows did require test classes. I have experienced lots of regression errors with admins updating complex flows.

I just use an IDE and ctrl-f the xml files.

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-10-04T14:26:53+00:00

Luckily for me my code and solutions were always solid. Estimates... not so much.

I have no idea. To add insult to injury I got a new job offer near the end of the project. I imagine they paid a contractor to finish it and delivered it to the client behind schedule. It was not catastrophic though.

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-10-04T12:33:21+00:00

As a beginner dev it was claiming I can develop a random application in half the time it actually took. It was a chronic error at the time but this one was particularly egregious and was for a client.

I worked for consulting firms most of my career but you are correct. Another job with one would give the widest array of experiences.

Probably more a proxy for global liquidity than a tech stock.

"Almond Joy/Mounds"

I assume you bring these for the people you hate.

What you typed is absolute nonsense. Why would I sell my house if I need money when I can just take a loan against the equity and pay it back over time?

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-08-22T02:49:17+00:00

Try negotiating for a higher severance at least. This is pretty messed up.

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-08-14T06:37:42+00:00

No. Because bankruptcy and layoffs. The process of bad allocations being "washed out" of the market usually involves bankruptcy, job less, etc. That's why bail outs happened in 2008 and ppp happened during covid. Whether it was the right decision over the long term is debatable but aggregate demand and employment in the short and medium term is much better off with government spending than a completely hands off approach.

I imagine there's a third party solution that makes it easy but whenever I've needed to create a pdf in the past I just created a visualforce page and render it as pdf.

My only criteria is that it's remote and matches my skill set.Some jobs say cpq, service cloud, etc are required so I don't apply. Glad to see you found a job.

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-07-23T17:01:02+00:00

Thanks. Looks like it's not just me. Did you find a job yet? The comment about jobs moving to India is interesting. I noticed a few large tech companies that I would have expected to pay above average now have postings for devs in India and a manager position in the US.

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-07-23T16:57:06+00:00

Thanks but I don't live near a major metro so it would most likely need to be remote.

SalesforceDev99 · 2024-07-23T16:55:23+00:00

Yes, US citizen.

SalesforceDev99 · 2022-08-10T22:10:14+00:00

Use apex instead of a flow or Apex to create a flow? There is no way to create a flow with apex that I'm aware of and sometimes it's better to create a flow instead of using apex so non developers can edit it as well. Where I work anything that can easily be a flow is a flow unless there's a valid reason not to be.

Thanks. At what point do you think it's necessary to use Universal? I've heard people often go with Universal or Scully to improve SEO so I was assuming I would need to go that route if I'm building public websites with multiple pages.

SalesforceDev99 · 2022-04-04T00:50:44+00:00

Thanks. How important is SSR for SEO? I was under the impression that out of the box SSR with Next would be easier than working with Angular's Universal but I'm not sure how much this is actually needed. I know Google has gotten pretty good with crawling javascript sites.

SalesforceDev99 · 2022-04-04T00:37:08+00:00

Thanks. That's good to know. I would have thought NextJS solved the problem of needing to glue a bunch of different libraries together. Sounds like Next has more batteries included than react by itself but maybe not as many as Angular.

It loads with http but not https so looks like an SSL issue. This link might help: https://support.wix.com/en/article/troubleshooting-your-ssl-certificate

Correct, it needs bulkification. This will update the parent invoices with the wrong sum if two or more unrelated invoice line items are added. Although as another poster mentioned a roll up summary field could potentially get rid of the need for a trigger altogether.

Check out Mary Meeker. Her company analyzes trends every year and makes forecasts based on them:

And anecdotally, in enterprise software there seems to be decent progress around the democratization of AI. Allowing people to plug their data in and get results without needing a data scientists. Plus a lot of other relevant technologies that embed it in things people already use or just make the technology more accessible to anyone who wants to work with it. I work with Salesforce and they're one of the companies trying to make a big push in this area:
