30 years since I was last in Berlin, I get to talk there. Working with Salesforce and uncertain Shield is worth the investment? Inherited a Shield org and wondering where to begin? Forty minutes, practical guidance, zero waffle. Tickets: bit.ly/wso26tickets See you in Berlin.

Did you know some out-of-the-box Salesforce Permission Sets could be enabling powerful permissions? In today’s climate, ignoring these defaults could expose your org to unnecessary risk. Beech Horn helps you to audit your Salesforce permissions. bit.ly/4nsIvqP

@TroyHawke absolutely gutted the first time we’ll be able to see you live, 12th November, there’s strikes, so unlikely to be able to attend. Will you be visiting again soon?

Still convinced you’ll not want genAI writing unit tests, performance benchmarks, integration tests, or performing UAT/SAT. However I’m not unconvinced that if given those as an input, that what a genAI would return as an implementation wouldn’t (eventually) be good enough.

The inability to define Microsoft's Patch Tuesday using pure Cron still feels like a Windows Task Scheduler flex, and no other "last Friday of the month" style examples can shake it.

The more I learn about DataWeave, the less comfortable I feel about its design choices. [] + {} == [{}] whereas {} + [] == ERROR So now reject doing the former, ever. [] ++ [{}] == [{}] [{}] ++ [] == [{}] Just seems like the right thing to do and doesn’t require ordering.

Important stuff. Nintendo’s little guideline here takes a huge shit on disabled gamers.
Time for a long RANT, becuase I have NEVER been more disappointed in Nintendo then I am today, this is a huge step back for accessibility in gaming... Today Nintendo released a new "Community Tournament Guidelines" that will take effect on November 15th, 2023 (1/10) 🧵
