Lmao, the CEO of Salesforce is congratulating Trump and Musk on their efficiency efforts?
Salesforce is a fucking cancerous efficiency draining leach on society.
It is hands down one of the most incompetent and greedily developed platforms in the world. Literally every Fortune 500 company using it would spend far less and get far more by building the equivalent with internal dev teams.
There’s so much of the systems my company has built and uses that has a bunch of extra code for various features because “Salesforce doesn’t support […]” or “Salesforce makes it hard to […]”. This includes simple programing stuff like “this field is a boolean” and scheduling items.
I was a retail investor in Salesforce before I worked with their stuff. Then I sold it for reasons like this.
I spent a year at a software company that built software on top of Salesforce and was just flabbergasted by the decisions and restrictions they had.
You’d hit hard limits on things like compute and number of requests etc with no literally no way of increasing or scaling them outside of paying absurd custom contract fees to salesforce. It lead to a ton of stuff having to use external platforms to do things and all of these horrible kludgy workarounds, whereas at any other software company it would have just been a matter of your infrastructure automatically spinning up another instance during high load periods.
Then their frameworks and programming languages are just piles of garbage.
Apex is their backend language and it’s basically an extremely old and limited version of Java, but not only does it not support any of the niceties of modern Java, it also doesn’t support any actual Java packages or frameworks so stuff like Kotlin or the Spring ecosystem is out of the question. It doesn’t even come with a framework for writing unit tests. On top of that, you then have all these insane restrictions on how your code files are organized. There’s no name spacing, all your code files have to be in a single flat directory, there’s file length restrictions and character restrictions and even casing restrictions… depending on where you reference an Apex class, it could use one of three different name syntaxes (i.e.
MyClasshas to be referred to asmyClassin some places,MyClassin others, andmy-classin others).Their frontend language was a pile of even shittier garbage, though was replaced with their own web component framework that is at least halfway similar to standard web components. But they still come with the crazy lack of name spacing and all the file naming and organization restrictions, they still don’t support TypeScript, and they come with literally no ootb methods for State Management, routing, etc.
And all of their dev infrastructure has to run on an instance of a Salesforce server so there is literally no way of developing actually locally.

So many people in this world need to die
Setting it up for a client I was immediately dead-ended by report fields that couldn’t be filtered or searched in a way that made sense, so there I am apologizing for the software on day 3.
Mood. I was working on hubspot patches when none of my clients were even using it. Nobody likes their crm is the lesson I learned
This is the motherfucker that decided to RTO the entire company after telling us that he wouldn’t RTO the Slack team since a large potion of our team was remote. I had to find another job. Fuck this asshole.
What an idiot.
Sees other tech CEOs taking a heel turn
Hey, I can be a piece of shit too!
Your software sucks asshole.
Yeah we moved to Odoo
These pieces of shit are everywhere!
Hint: They’re all POS.
White people with money sure do slide right back in to authoritarianism, god damn.
*looking at the rest of the world
Sure buddy it’s only rich folk who are white, sure.
Well they only loved freedom before they had money and power
Throwing race in here is weird.
IT people of Lemmy!
Any chance there are problems with the next Salesforce patch that presages ongoing issues?
These people are spineless.
let them eat cake
JD is looking rough
You know what would get “dangerous” people of the streets? Houses. People need houses and universal income if fat fucks like this get to spew their hate. Freedom of speech is protected amendment but the right to equatable housing should be above freedom of religion, because most use their religion to justify poor people and venerate the wealthy. The world needs less billionaires and millionaires, because the 20 people that are wealthy ruin it for the many billions of people that just survive and just scrape by
They don’t want people off the streets. The right thrive on stoking the fear and resentment of their base, and what better fuel for the fire than people on the lowest rungs of society.
This is why I have been increasingly frustrated at the UK’s current government, who are shitting themselves about the rise of the right wing Reform party, but refuse to understand that capitulating to their “stop the boats” anti-immigrant rhetoric, they’re just yielding more ground to the reactionary right.
I don’t expect establishment politicians to actually give a fuck about regular people, but they are actively at risk of losing their political power if they continue to ignore the actual root causes of the social malaise that Reform are exploiting. It’s beyond obvious that we are in dire need of investment in services and infrastructure, but I guess they’re afraid of pissing off their political donors and other people with unelected power (billionaires etc.)
Eye of sauron, what did you expect?
This dude thinks the only thing holding him back from “Ultimate Power!” (Said in emperor Palpatine’s voice) is all these bothersome people.
That community has put up with a lot of shit from this asshole. I’d suggest they raze the tower to the ground, but instead they should crib it with imminent domain and use it as a homeless shelter.
The company is called Salesforce. Who else can head such a beast but an incarnation of Satan himzelf.
