@marclou Additionally, ui is subjective, backend logic is objective. Also, Backend is just easier to test.

[Riadh Mankai @riadh_mankai]

Vibe coding works very well for backend and basic functional UIs.

But for custom, premium UI design, it still lags behind.

Getting it right requires heavy prompting, precise guidance, examples, and real design research.

Thoughts, opinions? Agree, disagree?

Writing code is cheap.

The competitive advantage in software is shifting from technical execution to domain expertise, intuition, and problem solving.

[Riadh Mankai @riadh_mankai]

Building software is no longer the hard part.

In the era where writing code is becoming "cheap", distribution, marketing, communication, and soft skills are more essential than ever.

In this article, I explain my thoughts in detail: https://t.co/ODg50TweXS

@theparthrastogi @grok are the numbers real?

@chamath Great article! It's really sad that in the US solar is so expensive. Many times in the past I considered installing one on the roof of my home in North Carolina, but the cost is too high and federal incentives are gone starting 2026.

@IAmAaronWill Do we need more?

[Riadh Mankai @riadh_mankai]

@chasedownleads How could this possibly an asset. If you don't pay this debt, your credit score will be destroyed, and you won't be able to borrow anything at all for a good amount of time. So, unless you are leaving the country and don't seek to borrow from US banks for a while...

@elonmusk So a tourist can vote? This is void of any sense!

@rsoesemann @pmd_analyzer @IllumCloud Illuminated Cloud by the far the best. I tried so hard to go back to VS Code, I just couldn't lol

@SalesforceforIT @salesforce Does this new computing environment have a storage/database of any kind? Can it handle queries a against very large data sets where the query usually times out in regular SOQL/ Salesforce environment?

Thanks @CLTSFUGs for a great #salesforcesaturday @LegalRemedyBrew!

[Riadh Mankai @riadh_mankai]

@enginutkan @trailhead Yup did that and got resolved, thanks a lot!

[Riadh Mankai @riadh_mankai]

@enginutkan @trailhead Any update on this? I have the same problem!

Anyone has an idea on why sfdx pull is not pulling field history tracking metadata on Person Account? https://t.co/EMp19SIZNd

@PhilippeOzil Such a well-written article, thanks Philippe!

[Riadh Mankai @riadh_mankai]

Does anyone know how many Salesforce certifications are out there (including Mulesoft and Tableau)? I actually just did the count, I was shocked!

@CouttsDotCom I personally use WordPress + Hostgator, very cheap (I think I pay $3 a month). However, WordPress is not super user-friendly in my opinion, more like a CMS than a website builder. Hostgator has its own builder as well, but it's also a bit pricey.

@dhh I recently started using my wife's Macbook air early 2014, SSD but only 4GB of RAM. You know what? It works just fine, even with 20 chrome tabs!

@rsoesemann @code @intellijidea Nice feature, but I still believe Illuminated Cloud 2 (based on IntelliJ) is a better IDE overall! I like the fact that we install one single plugin and get started right away, while with VS code you have to install a bunch of extensions.
