   Unplanned outage timing is never good but this is really not good.

      This is what happens when more than half the company is away attending the Salesforce cult-indoctrination stuff while spending all their bandwidth making customers&#x2F;partners feel good.... The stuff that matters to keep the lights on gets overlooked.

         Arguably, making customers and partners feel good is the more important part of the business

            They wont feel good if the product they pay for doesnt work

               From what I can tell, the business model is &quot;it doesn&#x27;t work, but you can pay folks exorbitant fees to &#x27;customize&#x27; it for you&quot;...

            arguably, this is what sales cares about and the half-measures taken to tackle what must be the Mt. Everest of tech debt at Salesforce is what leads to large, systemically degraded customer trust in products that keep shipping bugs
