Salesforce is so unbelievably full of it. if you talk to any software engineers, they will tell you that LLMs cant replace software engineers.

if you've used an llm, then you know that the things that it's good at is one-off things that you need like. I need a python program that will manipulate multiple excel cell files that have badly labeled columns and stuff and synthesize the information and put it into one sheet

like that's the type of stuff it can do. if you are writing little things of code that have to interact with other people's code, or be efficient in the way that it works then it's no longer good because it can't remember all of that.

Salesforce is a classic Silicon Valley tech company. Their entire goal is to just get as many subscribers as possible and then to cut things out in order to reach profitability. what they do is they have a marketplace of developers, and then when you get salesforce, and it doesn't work, you tell your rep that it doesn't work and then they point you to 3rd party software engineers who are going to charge you like a hundred thousand dollars to correct or complete that piece of the application.

They're also going to buy competing software companies, an attempt to smash their code into salesforce, even if it doesn't really work very well. and normally they would have their own software to developers to fix that, but if you're using salesforce recently, you know that they are not using those developers that way, and apparently they're just getting rid of them
