Past me: oh, I'll need to refactor this, I'll save the variables
Me today: why are the variables that I am setting going to null...
Me: Oh....

@rlvanessagrant This is a mood. And I have to pack to move soon

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Getting stuck with record locks in data processing engine. This seems... Impossible to do what I need to.

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Data Processing Engine on @salesforce is pretty much a massive vlookup in Excel with lots of massive data manipulation.

The interface is a bit weird, but understanding that helps a bit.

some point

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Had a talk with someone in the past week, and it kinda got brought up that I do a bit more than an Admin.

It generally seems like there aren't too many "Senior Admin" roles - so I'm wondering if that's where people start to get specialized, or you just turn into an architect at

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Oof. Data processing engine is failing. This is weird and confusing.

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

@sfdc_mike I should sign up to go, since I live here now!

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

It's basically "we can't overwrite what you have deactivated".

So, you go through and nuke the nodes in the environment you're trying to deploy to (couldn't delete it, since it was referenced in a flow that calls it)

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

So Data Processing Engine is dumb.

You can run into issues with deploying over an old version.

You get a message to the effect of "the null field in the [node] batchcalcjobaggregate type node has an issue: The name is duplicated in the node [node]. Specify unique name...

@rlvanessagrant Me: joins meetings early cuz otherwise, I'll get into something else

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Me: *presents a solution design*

Team: that's slick. Shit. We need to think about this architecturally

Me: heck yeah!

@chrisfitkin Doesn't a lot of hiring hit in September?

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

@_andrewrusso @tryqualified @salesforce I feel like that's way too specific to be ai generated, which was my initial guess.

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

@150kbucks @rlvanessagrant The BA one is one of the last ones on the list. It was $199 and included both the tests and study guide. I get reimbursed for approved training/education.

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Got my BA cert today!

I'm sure @rlvanessagrant will be proud!

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

The amount of anxiety that I have about taking certifications because of the way the Salesforce Admin certification questions are written and how I work and take tests best feels like a blocker in terms of taking more. I'm currently working on a few... #awesomeadmins #salesforce

[Andrew Sisulak 🏳️‍🌈 ☁️ @ASisulak]

Kinda thinking my next role would be closer to owning the Salesforce Platform in one way or another. I think it's called product owner in some spheres

Realized on Friday that I was a bit bitter about not getting to attend Dreamforce this year. Work is planning on me attending TDX next year.

But also, got a positive COVID result yesterday morning, so the bitterness is a bit lessened.
