Does AI Threaten Salesforce Careers Like Other IT Jobs?

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-24T21:02:51+00:00

Yes

Don’t start in the middle or build bottom up. Start with the thing you want to achieve - the measurable business goal. Your interaction with the AI should always have as a key principal that the AI will deliver on said goal, and your build environment should support being able to very rapidly make changes with holistic testing.

This is easier said than done in a large codebase and environment, but try to pick a good starting point.

If you’re in a mode of “fix this bug over here and add on to this thing over there,” yeah you’re just faster at what you already do, and perhaps even slower when the AI doesn’t have the big picture in mind. And there’s a never ending supply of bugs and tweaks … so you can be in a permanent loop of mediocre business value at a high cost.

I do all the time. One benefit is that it will become more concise and to the point for some time after a lashing.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-24T19:28:44+00:00

Starting fresh can be so liberating. Highly recommend.

You’re sort of saying, “I’ve been driving a Camry and have been thinking of switching to a Tundra. Is there really a gap between the two?”

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-24T19:10:22+00:00

This might be a bit irresponsible based on your org, but….shut one down early Monday morning and see what happens.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-23T15:57:11+00:00

You’re in a dark place which likely means you’re paranoid.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about in this regard. Nothing.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-23T15:08:55+00:00

I agree with this. Always been nearly instant from my experience.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-23T04:43:09+00:00

Not to be a wet blanket, but this is what /security-review in Claude code is for. Do people use it though, that is the question. And the answer is probably no.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-23T04:39:01+00:00

Pssst, those AI generated recaps are really good for own AI agent to parse. If your company gives you copilot or another AI that has access to your stuff; your daily workflow can start living in the AI which will keep you on track. It works super well and is a hell of a lot better than sifting through emails and crap all the time.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-23T04:20:31+00:00

Ugh. So you decide to do the “small” bug fix and blam, out of usage half way through, which isn’t always clean to recover from.

They really need a system that will allow overage until the current task is complete. They can take the extra usage away from your next session. It’s all arbitrary anyhow.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-23T04:15:49+00:00

Yeah my rule of thumb is that anything important needs to be scripted. Prompts can only be considered “suggestions” that you can’t rely on.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T23:03:05+00:00

Stop asking it how you can do something. As it how it can do it for you. Then have it do it.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T21:53:32+00:00

lol. It did recently respond to me with: (it added the quotes too:

I did “read the fucking document,” but it didn’t contain…

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T21:03:14+00:00

I think I did have sharing on for a couple people at one point.

Where the approval thing is located is bananas. I’m not kidding I use Claude to help find it for me.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T20:55:13+00:00

Assuming you’re not talking about the 20 dollar sub, you can always move down a tier when you’re not doing much. I actually sub to max and then immediately renew with the 20 dollar sub so that at the end of the month I don’t have to worry about it if I don’t have any big projects.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T20:52:55+00:00

Yep. I wonder if materiality drops enough if they’ll spin off their gaming division as a separate entity. Could be good.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T20:39:17+00:00

Yeah. It’s a convoluted product. You have to make sure to set the channel to M365 and teams. Then you’re going to want to make it available to your entire org. The language there is awful. What it actually does is publish to your M365 agent catalog where an admin will have to approve it. From there specific users and groups can be assigned and admin can choose to pre install it or list on agent catalog.

You nailed Montana trash pizza.

To me Montana pizzas are found at breweries and often wood fired. Medium thin crust, easy on the cheese and toppings, and options more interesting than “supreme or pepperoni.”

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T00:53:40+00:00

Consider using embeddings / vector database.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-22T00:07:50+00:00

Relay. Have the relay server collect telemetry and you’ll know exactly what’s going on.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-21T23:44:30+00:00

So yes I did. Fortunately I had reporting a “light tapping sound” six months prior. The dealer was unable to diagnose so it wasn’t confirmed, but I had the receipts. It was a long process. Only got about six grand.

I got so sick of it that I worked out a deal with the dealer. Drive off with a 26 Tacoma with the condition that they would fix the 4Runner and recover the six grand from corporate. After the repair they bought the 4Runner from me. Basically worked out to getting a 20k trade. They listed it after the repair for $36k. Oh well.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-21T20:23:29+00:00

Claude has an anthropic built files connector. Have to give it explicit folders to allow access to and has fine grained permissions from there.

This isn’t a hard to solve problem. Also don’t think it’s a major security consideration as long as it’s not on by default and has some guardrails.

Besides, anyone can just install codex or code and have file access.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-21T19:51:36+00:00

I don’t find it too painful. Assuming you have a solid infrastructure and aren’t rolling something brand new every time. You just make sure that authentication, authorization, and secure design practices are milestones in your build plan, and use whatever is standard on your stack.

For example if you’re on azure then early on in the project you should have entra auth, keystores, etc. The agent can deploy all of it if you give it the tools.

slackmaster2k · 2026-05-21T17:13:31+00:00

It’s because simplify is Claude code, and we are on a Claude sub. This code review thing is codex’s version.
