I’ve recently published a post on Mason Frankâs blog, where I wrote about some Salesforce Developer hacks. Hereâs a quick summary below and link to the full article, I hope you enjoy!
Iâm lazy. Most developers are! This is not necessarily a bad thing, and Bill Gates summarizes this concept easily by saying âI choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do itâ.
Donât misunderstand this statementâlaziness is not staying on your couch the whole day and watching all of Game of Thrones in one sitting. Itâs a different kind of being lazy.
The lazy developer is the one that, in order to avoid doing anything more than once, tries to automate it or knows exactly when that line of code is stored (they may actually not be able to write it themselves and thus have to Google for it).
Thatâs exactly what I saw in my own 12 years of work experience: the best developer is not the one who knows exactly which Apex function has which parameters (if you can, well⌠congratulations!), but the one who quickly knows how to solve a problem and where to look to maximize productivity (and happiness for the project manager or the customer).
