Thanks for this article, Matheus. Although, I believe your last sentence hides the equally interesting story - I'm happy to learn how your transition to SF world has changed your life :)

BTW, we've recently started a series on how to leverage SF (especially its API and other integration capabilities) in building modern business applications - perhaps you'll find it interesting on your new career path!

Hi Mike! I'm glad you like it. Well, everything changed since 5 years ago. Sometimes it felt like I was sent out to a vast, uncharted wilderness to learn and explore. Even nowadays, with the transition from the regular dev process to Salesforce DX, or from Apex to Lightning, even as a Senior Engineer it feels like you're just a fresh graduate learning new things.

I don't want to sound too philosophical here ("ow, dude, why so deep? This is a topic about Salesforce, chill! Geez..."), but it helps to keep you humble and hungry for more knowledge. Does it makes sense?

Well, also during all these years I've met amazing people. The kind of people that transcends the limits of co-working, it's more like a huge family around the world.

So yeah, it's been a heck of an experience!

About your series, I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

Definitely makes sense! When we first approached SF environment, we didn't know it's such an impressive platform. Almost 20 yr code-base speaks for itself:)

But what surprised us the most is that it can bring value not only to both big corps but it's also flexible enough (both in tech stack and pricing) to help startups/smaller projects too. And this is what we're trying to show in the series.
