@AndrewDavis_io 💯I’ve been on several projects with hugely talented craftspeople and shockingly poor leadership. Generally, the bigger the company, the worse it’s been.

@dvdkliu Our community isn’t about ‘getting likes’, it’s about acknowledging people. 1800 views, 32 likes and 3 comments tells us something too.

@dvdkliu It’s certainly different to 10-15 years ago. Tech culture has changed, not sure I would say ‘evolved’, but this platform has changed too. Great times learning Apex from you and this new ‘Trailhead’ thing that Chris Duarte was setting up.
Oh, and yeah, we’re definitely older 😂

@Cule_Niks @dvdkliu Same here. Thank you 😁

@MShaneMc It can take longer to check what AI has written than it would have to have just written it yourself.

@pchittum X is for cancel, close, delete; a negative action. That’s what it makes me think of.
