Though Benioff's shift mirrors Silicon Valley's broader accommodation of Trump, the exchange offered a rare glimpse of just how far that repositioning can go. The question now: will other Bay Area tech CEOs follow Benioff's lead and call for federal troops in their own backyard?
Salesforce is a brand name, for executives that care about style over substance. Smart teams have been moving away from it for a while now, there are even open-source alternatives now, or commercial options that don’t require a dedicated database administrator at your company and special training to use. It’s a behemoth that will thunder when it falls.
It’s just a service with an API to me, same as any other. But it does seem to have 20x worse performance (to be fair, migration isn’t complete and things might not be tuned right).
But I kinda hate it just because it is everywhere and always such a bottleneck to improvement.
