The Ego in the Machine: Is Our Need for Validation Creating an Existential Threat?

Technology has always been a bridge, but today, it feels more like a mirror. With the rapid rise of AI , we are seeing things enter our lives and leave them at a pace we can barely track. To understand where this is going, we first have to understand how technology actually impacts the core of who we are. The Survivalist vs. The Ego Our minds are biologically wired for one thing: survival . We are designed to handle the worst-case scenario, an ancient instinct gifted to us by nature. We consider ourselves conscious decision-makers, but a critical question remains: Who is really making the call?

Field History Custom Component

 We have the standard history for our fields in salesforce. We can use that functionality from the related list. Here we will see that functionality using component and apex class. This will be a generic code for custom objects. Just paste the id of the record for which you want to see history. Make sure you have enabled history tracking for that object. 

Custom History

Here is the apex class for JSON. Save this first.


HistoryWrapper.cls


public class HistoryWrapper{

    public WrapperClass_attributes attributes;

    public String CreatedById;  

    public datetime CreatedDate;  

    public String Field;   

    public boolean IsDeleted;

    public string OldValue;

    public String Id;   

    public Wrapperclass_CreatedBy CreatedBy;

    }

Demystifying Batch Processing in Salesforce

Introduction: Batch processing is a powerful feature in Salesforce that allows you to efficiently process large volumes of data in chunks. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of batch processing, its benefits, and provide code examples to demonstrate how to implement a batch class in Salesforce. What is Batch Processing? Batch processing is a technique used to process a large amount of data in smaller, manageable chunks. It breaks down a large job into multiple smaller jobs called batches, which are processed sequentially. This approach is particularly useful when dealing with large datasets that would otherwise exceed governor limits in a single execution.
