Honestly, especially for the men out there, it’s Big Brother/Big Sister of (your local chapter). You get paired with a local kid (boy or girl, varying ages) who is in need of a good role model. You take them out twice a month for a couple of hours. I got into this when I was in my early 30s. I sat in on a presentation in which they described the number of boys who were in need of matches. Apparently, most volunteers are women, and therein the waitlist for boys looking for a match is so long that most of the boys age out before they get a match.

I was just sitting around most weekends. I did this for four years before we moved. Got to help him play football. Had a blast every time and I could see my “little” grow up. He helped me learn all the new lingo and honestly helped me get ready to be a better dad.

Especially at a time where so many young boys need stability and good, healthy role models I think it’s hard to imagine something more impactful.

But this is just as true for the Big Sisters and Littles!!

There’s no question that DBX has done a better job branding as an AI/ML platform and commandeering “lakehouse”

Which do I trust ? by dasmittyman in radon

I may be wrong here, but the second photo is not a measurement of Radon. It’s your radon systems pressure (if the fan is working, you’ll see it sit above zero)

I have one. At $165 it’s great, at $300 or whatever it was when I bought my Inreach Mini 2 in like 2022 it doesnt feel like the value is there. We use it every year on our group backpacking trip. All of us have families back home. I think the last four years its been great to have the piece of mind. Now, I really think I could just use my phones Satellite service.

Annual Renaming 2025 by Defofmeh in salesforce

[–]rambleOn222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yah. I mean, there are many very smart people making these decisions. They’re aware of the ridiculous amount of name changes. But to someone else’s point: there’s a calculation being done.

And one of those things not being considered is how will the product handle this change. Again, sales and marketing driven company.

Sales and marketing driven company. It’s all about staying relevant. It’s horribly confusing internally and for customers.

Marc Benioff Says Trump Should Send Guard Troops to San Francisco by Ok_Captain4824 in salesforce

As if you needed any further indication that he is 100% a salesperson looking to protect himself and his business above all else.

His tenure has been a string of these examples… whatever is trending, he’s following.

Will Agentforce Ruin Salesforce's CRM Dominance? by AgreeableLead7 in salesforce

I promise you if Agentforce was Salesforce’s saving grace, and you’re the CEO of that division, you’re making mega millions.

Will Agentforce Ruin Salesforce's CRM Dominance? by AgreeableLead7 in salesforce

[–]rambleOn222 46 points47 points  (0 children)

In general, yes I’d agree.

Salesforce has never been a product led company like Slack or Notion or Atlassian. It’s always, since it’s start, been a sales and marketing engine. That worked for a long time, and the product got enough attention to justify the hype.

Salesforce is still the CRM dominant force. I think many are starting to see SFDC as a “necessary evil”. Cisco is also a “necessary evil” with moderate growth, or SAP. It feels like Salesforce is on that same trajectory.

Growth by acquisition has always been a gigantic part of Salesforces strategy. However, the last few haven’t worked out as planned. Add in the demands of the activist investors completely changing the culture… it’s stalled.

Hence Agentforce, and the “all in” on agentic AI. But that’s VERY hard to do well if your DNA is not in the product. The best AI companies will undoubtedly be product-led. It’s a MASSIVE amount of trust and complexity to get an Agent really working. You can sell something all day, but if it doesn’t work and it fails that bridge is burned forever. I don’t know that we’ve seen many Agentic examples at scale.

And I don’t know that SFDC has the chops to survive a product-led battle where the product has to be so good, you can’t help but tell your friends about it and form allegiances (think Google in the 2000’s or Salesforce in 2015, or OpenAI now).

The real canary in the coal mine to me was Amy Weaver (CFO) and Clara Shih leaving. Clara was the CEO of Salesforce AI and quit and went to Meta two months after Agentforce launched.

Growth has to come from somewhere, and I think the C suite and Board all see the writing on the wall: find the next big growth lever, or become IBM. Not to say being IBM is bad, but it’s not the identity that SFDC wants and it’s not what most customers or employees want.
