This site is not meant to be a polished ivory tower of absolute answers. It is a living collection of thoughts from someone still learning, building, refining, and occasionally changing his mind. Here, you will find practical insight, frameworks, technical breakdowns, reflections, and who all knows what else I'll end up sharing. ### AI Disclaimer I absolutely use AI to assist with producing content, challenging my ideas, proofing and organizing raw thoughts. I will not pretend to be unassisted by AI, but I will also not just regurgitate AI outputs. Everything here has my influence to some level. --- ## What You’ll Find Here ### Salesforce Deep dives, delivery lessons, implementation patterns, possibly some venting, and practical guidance from the world of Salesforce consulting. Expect topics like: - Apex, LWCs, Flow, OmniStudio, and Industry reflections - Integration patterns and external service architecture - DevOps, metadata deployments, and source control - Enterprise delivery lessons from complex Salesforce programs - Tips for architects, developers, admins, and product-minded consultants --- ### Architecture Architecture is more than diagrams and buzzwords -- although there will be plenty of both. Decision making, key considerations and more will fall into this category. This section explores: - Solution architecture - Technical design patterns - Integration strategy - Scalable delivery models - Documentation practices - Tradeoffs between “clean” and “practical” --- ### Leadership A place for thoughts on consulting, team dynamics, project delivery, product ownership, and the human side of technology work. Topics may include: - Leading without formal authority - Navigating complex stakeholders - Improving broken delivery models - Mentoring developers and analysts - Translating ambiguity into action - Building trust --- ### This Week in AI A recurring section for tracking what is changing in the AI world and what it might actually mean for builders, consultants, teams, and businesses. Full disclosure: this will be mostly AI-produced content. The goal is not hype. The goal is awareness and sharing key considerations in a time where AI is rapidly changing on an almost daily basis. Expect: - Quick summaries on the latest AI news - How it could impact you (if you're a fellow consultant) - Opportunities to consider - Suggested actions to take --- ### Tech, Tools, and Experiments Some ideas do not fit neatly into a single category. Those belong here. This may include: - Local LLM setups - Obsidian workflows - Knowledge management - Developer productivity - Automation ideas - MCP servers - AI-assisted coding workflows - Random technical rabbit holes worth documenting --- ## Why “The Round Table”? The name is a nod to tale of King Arther's round table - where everyone at the table was considered equal. Ideas and opinions should be shared with humility. There is no claim that these are the *absolute best-in-the-world* thoughts, ideas, solutions, etc. These are just informed opinions and perspectives from a person sitting at the same table, same position, as you. Some posts will be polished. Others may be closer to working notes. Some may age well. Some may become stepping stones to better ideas later. That is the point. Learning, growing, sharing without the interference of pride or arrogance. --- ## Welcome to **The Round Table**.
