Considering moving all of my project data for my two active projects from ChatGPT to Claude Code. Been reading that the latter excels at longer term complex projects and better output & documentation.

I don’t know if I’m ready to go fully unhinged but that day may be coming

Just signed up for 'Integration Developer 101' on Cloud Code Academy. Looking forward to closing up that skill gap.

Feel like I’m walking in the Shire

It’s kind of a weird thing existing in a niche corner of Salesforce Development as a primarily Front End guy

It’s clear you haven’t found the right people to fill the roles yet, c’mon.

Funny how I’ve seen the same role for multiple locations get posted and reposted by Atlassian over the past 2 months when they’ve rejected me twice almost right away. Guys, I’m a solid candidate and I’m going to keep applying until you give me a shot 🤣

I STG if they went through with this I’m done working in the Salesforce ecosystem.

Not gonna hold my breath for his apology for jumping at the chance to bring Agentforce to ICE’s rescue

Time will tell if it’s something that I keep working on. Ball’s in your court Benioff

From SLDS to Vibes: Bridging the Gap in Salesforce’s Design Evolution with ForceKit Salesforce’s new Agentforce Vibes marks the beginning of AI-driven UI composition — but without a bridge between generative intent and…

Just published something I’ve been nervous (but excited) to share — how Salesforce’s new Agentforce Vibes and SLDS don’t quite speak the same language yet, and how my framework ForceKit could bridge that gap.

Let’s let Agentforce build a flow! WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

But like, Vibe Coding amirite?
*ducks*

Crazy. What started as a fun project and a cool thing to build is turning into a whole Design System layer that extends the Lightning Design System + LWC...a fully native developer-first, SLDS compliant framework. // #salesforce #design

I would have gotten up and found a chair at the opposite end of the room 🤣

When I heard he not only said that but also tried to speak all nice-like about the “Ohana” my eyes rolled back so far I saw last year.

Wait, Benioff actually tried to pretend he gave a crap about the community?

Well you got yourself a Skankin' Pickle there...

Spies like us! a classic

F this bootlicker

I started boycotting TDX after last year, which was a huge bummer. Never been to DF….too huge for me.

I’m perfectly indifferent to missing out.

Feels good to be in one of these again.

Not even lunchtime and already I have one phone interview request, one solid lead that will probably result in a phone interview, and a former co-worker forwarding my info for some possible consulting work. Starting the week off right!

I saw last night you could get one, but it was an international store and i'm not about to pay $80+ for shipping

Finally getting myself a new Trailblazer hoodie - just wish I could get a Ranger patch to go with it.

Applied to great sounding job last week - over 100 applicants. Messaged their Salesforce hiring manager on LinkedIn and guaranteed my application will be viewed next week. Sweet.
