Salesforce is only as good as the asshats who implement it. There are a LOT of non-talented people in this ecosystem building solutions for clients. Case in point the project I'm currently on, and now leaving by proxy because I gave my notice at my employer. WORST SCOPED project ever, and I thought Panasonic was bad.

Salesforce is the 800# gorilla in the cloud software space for extremely large clients. Mostly like Fortune 500 companies. It's expensive, but it's a platform that allows you to build custom solutions for clients, around starting points, like CRM, or Financial Services, or CPQ. There are nearly 77k certified professionals worldwide currently.

Is your host OS Windows 10? Or Server 2019? Or? Is each VM assigned to one monitor or more than one monitor? Are your old laptop OS's still in use as VMs or are they purely archival? And would you mind providing more info on your mobile workstation? Part of my own strategy in addition to having redundant physical servers is that all of the "real" servers are virtual. It's such a hassle to set up the complicated environments that I need, that my plan is to eliminate obsolescence by using VM servers. For the day when the hardware needs to be replaced, it would seem that for the foreseeable future any Windows Server OS will support Server 2019 VMs, so all I have to do when getting new hardware is load the host OS, copy the exported VMs to the new machine and voila I'm back in business. |

Already priced what I'd do, and when you factor in the 14k for the monitor/video card setup, the new investment in this box will be close to $40k for a single computer. Again, this is not bragging rights. Yes, to lay people it seems so over the top, but to a true techie, and more specifically to ME, these types of investments have made my situation where I can command the amount of compensation I make. 40K on a computer is nothing compared to where I'm at now, and more importantly where I'm going in the next 15 years. I share this crap because I get the same reaction to every single person who joins a zoom conference and sees this setup on camera. It's fascinating for the uninitiated, and makes for a great ice breaker....and interesting content for VBOT. I'll reply about the mobile workstation more in a bit. Cocktail hour with the wife, and cooking dinner. And yes, the old notebook clone VM's are still in use. Windows keeps moving forward, and those old programs won't run on Windows 10, but they DO run on their original operating systems, just fine on a VM. Hell, I have DOS, Linux, and a bunch of other VM's. Virtualization is the way of the future. Hence my gorilla in a tuxedo computer. |

And DAB, yes, I understand not a single word of the above makes any sense to you, but that's OK. It went over the heads of a large majority of the people here, but if a techie wants to talk shop, I don't mind sharing the gory details. |

Having these qualities is what it is, but being able to enjoy the financial spoils that come with being this person, is not a bad deal either. There are worse problems to have. |

Cars, cars, and more cars. Racing, racing, and more racing. 2021 C8 here in about 6 weeks. New 700 HP engine for the '08Z here for fall installation. (too hot to do now that we are entering summer).
I'm the epitome of work hard, play hard. But, also being the wiser, older me, my level of play (and spending on computers) is tempered. Yes, spending $14k on monitors and video cards is still tempered. Cash, Cash, Cash and savings is #1 in my household now. While I would never retire, I wish to ensure that my cash, via passive income, gives me the ability to wake up one morning and say "I'm gonna sleep all day today." I'm in that mode where everything is about establishing that financial independence. Then I can choose what to create or invent, and whether to get paid for said inventions, or to give it away just to keep myself busy. I will go to my grave creating something new. |
