And all things Meta.

I wonder if Wikipedia could mitigate this to some degree by updating their UX. I don’t particularly want them to, and I certainly don’t want a “New Coke” Wikipedia. But the design is rather plain and “looks old” to a modern user.

And people are suckers for a friendly-looking starter like “Certainly!”

Lemmy is missing:

• Bots
• Karma farmers
• Ads
• Insane mods
• Fucking Spez

You know you’re right, we’re nothing like reddit!!

Interesting read. I know someone who’s been a Salesforce consultant for several years. He was offered a job at Salesforce itself, but has chosen to hop around among different 3rd party firms instead. He makes an obscene hourly rate. Yet, every project he’s worked on has had serious problems, and quite a few have flopped. I get the impression a lot of consultants are kind of winging it.

I don’t know a lot about the Salesforce platform, but it seems like a lot of his clients want to customize the crap out of their implementation and not do things in the prescribed manner. I don’t know if this is just stubbornness and stupidity on the clients’ part, or lack of flexibility within the Salesforce software, or some of both.
