2007-core nostalgia extravaganza

Quick PSA: someone on Facebook is apparently impersonating me using an account called "McMansion Hell 2.0" -- If you see it, please report! Thanks!

Howdy folks! I hope if you were born between 1995 and 2001 you're ready for some indelible pre-recession vibes because I think this entire house, including the photos have not been touched since that time.

This Wake County, NC house, built in 2007, currently boasts a price tag of 1.7 million smackaroos. Its buxom 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths brings the total size to a completely reasonable and not at all housing-bubble-spurred 5,000 square feet.

I know everyone (at least on TikTok) thinks 2007 and goes immediately to the Tuscan theming trend that was super popular at the time (along with lots of other pseudo-euro looks, e.g. "french country" "tudor" etc). In reality, a lot of decor wasn't particularly themed at all but more "transitional" which is to say, neither contemporary nor super traditional. This can be pulled off (in fact, it's where the old-school Joanna Gaines excelled) but it's usually, well, bland. Overwhelmingly neutral. Still, these interiors stir up fond memories of the last few months before mommy was on the phone with the bank crying.

I think I've seen these red/navy/beige rugs in literally every mid-2000s time capsule house. I want to know where they came from first and how they came to be everywhere. My mom got one from Kirkland's Home back in the day. I guess the 2010s equivalent would be those fake distressed overdyed rugs.

I hate the kitchen bench trend. Literally the most uncomfortable seating imaginable for the house's most sociable room. You are not at a 19th century soda fountain!!! You are a salesforce employee in Ohio!!!

You could take every window treatment in this house and create a sampler. A field guide to dust traps.

Before I demanded privacy, my parents had a completely beige spare bedroom. Truly random stuff on the walls. An oversized Monet poster they should have kept tbh. Also putting the rug on the beige carpet here is diabolical.

FYI the term "Global Village Coffeehouse" originates with the design historian Evan Collins whose work with the Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute!!!!

This photo smells like a Yankee Candle.

Ok, now onto the last usable photo in the set:

No but WHY is the house a different COLOR??????? WHAT?????

Alright, I hope you enjoyed this special trip down memory lane! Happy (American) Labor Day Weekend! (Don't forget that labor is entitled to all it creates!)

[recentlyheardcom]

Growing up, many of us were taught that a college degree is basically a guarantee that you'll enter into a financially secure career — but one $1.6 trillion student loan debt crisis later, that advice isn't exactly aging well. Recently, u/milly-0607 asked redditors who make over $50k without a degree to share what they do, and the responses were eye-opening. Here are some of the top replies:1."I deliver bread to grocery stores, and I made $120k last year working six to eight hours per day. Healthcare, pension, paid vacation, union representation. It's great work if you can find it."2."I do autopsies as a autopsy tech and make $50k without over time. I take out peoples' organs and give them to a doctor to do the actual autopsy. Then I sew up, clean up, and release bodies to funeral homes. It's smelly work, and you see things you can never unsee. But the death industry is the last Wild West, and I have a lot of down time for reading and naps."—u/iremovebrains3."I rotisserize chicken at Costco for $63k a year. Bought a house and everything. Great times."—u/stilgrave4."I’m a career nanny. I’m in my 20s at $90k plus benefits, 45 hours a week." Freshsplash / Getty Images5."I work at a union warehouse for Kroger, and I make about $80k–$85k a year, but that’s with overtime. I work about 50–60-hour weeks. I do pay $80 a month for union dues, but that’s all I pay. I get free healthcare, dental care, vision care, and a good retirement plan. Not bad for a 10th-grade dropout."—u/positive-pack-3966."I do loss prevention for a Fortune 10 company. With bonuses and stock grants, even entry level brings in $50k+ a year."—u/venustoise_tcg7."I'm a hairdresser. I work hard and a lot of hours. I make well over $100k post-tax, honestly reporting and legit. After 33 years in the business, I still love it. It’s honest work, but still work." Peathegee Inc / Getty Images8."I learned how to configure Salesforce for free and immediately started working with a Salesforce partner. My income went from $45k to $75k, and I hit six figures within my first year in the industry."—u/motonahi9."I'm a project manager for a health insurance company making $100k working remotely. I worked my way up over the last six years. I started in data entry. The trick is just finding a good company that likes to promote from within."—u/wxlfcody10."Real estate. Spent my last dime on my license. Last year, I did over $120k, and I am on my fourth year in the industry. Best decision I ever made." The Good Brigade / Getty Images11."I make $138k working as a baker, no degree, seven years of experience. I'm in San Francisco, California at a Michelin 1-star restaurant."—u/retardedastro12."Industrial rope access. I make between $50–$75 an hour. Plenty of work. It's not too expensive to get started. You work from ropes to get to places that are difficult to access with traditional methods and conduct work. I have worked on oil platforms, wind turbines, the roofs of stadiums, dams, and bridges. It can be very quick to move through your certs and make more money. Prevailing wage work comes around and can change your life."—u/pantsopticon8813."I'm a welder. I did an apprenticeship through the federal government. Started almost five years ago at 28 at $18 an hour. Now I'm making close to $35 an hour as a journeyman. I'm pushing $100k this year with overtime and bought my first house last spring. My work is dirty, but it isn't crazy hard, and I'm not forced to travel. That being said, I would not recommend welding as a trade — there are lot more trades that make more money and are less rough on your body and lungs." Moof / Getty Images/Image Source14."I'm a server/bartender making roughly $60k with 50-hour weeks."—u/flnn15."Aircraft maintenance for a major airline, two years of trade school. I make over $200k."—u/holidaycapital998116."I make $64k as an emergency 9-1-1 dispatcher. High stress and long hours, but a satisfying and interesting job nonetheless." Jacob Wackerhausen / Getty Images17."I make $60k as a supply chain account manager.

It’s basically glorified data entry for the most part. Fully remote since COVID."—u/nottodaybroadie18."Bank and credit union jobs. I've worked my way up and make $66K. They are by far the easiest jump from retail to a career path. You just lose the flexibility of the retail schedule. Typically, banks pay more. Credit unions have better benefits. You get 10+ paid holidays a year. Not including vacation. Some offer tuition reimbursement, and some will help you pay for certifications. If you find a mentor and a career path, there are TONS of options to grow. It's a small world, so people know people."—u/milky104819."I work for the post office as a part-time flexible rural carrier. I make $24.84 hourly and will clear $90k with overtime this year."20."Industrial maintenance tech. I work 40 hours a week with some overtime here and there and gross around $70k yearly. I could move to other plants making more, but I choose not to live at work. I enjoy my family time."—u/kaleafraid953521."Pest control. I make about $60k pre tax. I work from 8 to 4 most days, but I do make my own schedule, so somedays, may be 8 to 6, and some may be 10 to 3. Company vehicle and phone. I buy my own health insurance, though. Some days can be a dream, some can be absolute hell. Still can't afford a house or nice car, but I can enjoy my life."—u/wasted_potency22."Retail. Moved my way up at a grocery store and then a big retailer, currently making $70k and looking to be a store director by the end of next year. That job pays around $110k plus bonus. Most people don’t move up in retail; it’s a short term stop on their way to something else. But if you get good at it, like managing a super Target or becoming a district manager, you’re making bank." Jacoblund / Getty Images/iStockphoto23."I make about $65k–$70k a year as a patient placement coordinator. We're basically off-site case managers finding doctors and hospitals willing to take patients who can’t receive the care they need in the hospital where they’re currently located. I was working at Starbucks and Macy's three years ago and make about $13 more an hour now."—u/chance_assignment42224."Live entertainment. I started at 21 doing corporate AV in hotels. Learned as much as I could in four years. Eventually, I got to operator status, and now I make around $75k–$80k a year running lasers at one of the hottest clubs in New York. It also helps to be friendly and build a good network of people."—u/grandequesadilla25."I started in IT support as I was always a computer dork. If you are even slightly technically inclined, you can pretty much learn everything on the job. Started at $35k back in 2016 and worked my way up to a systems engineer making $75k now. I did get a few certificates along the way, but when I first landed the job, I just had a high school diploma. It's a solid career path. I have worked with numerous people without any degrees, and they make over $100k a year." Westend61 / Getty Images/Westend6126.And finally, "I make $110k a year doing application testing for an insurance company. I started as customer service making $25k and worked my way up over the last 16 years."—u/satan-catComments have been edited for length and clarity.Do you have a good paying job without a degree?

How to integrate Salesforce with Other Business Applications

Businesses use various applications to manage their operations, data, and customer relations. Salesforce being a strong CRM platform, is used to integrate with multiple business applications. These business applications are usually third-party applications. Salesforce integration with these applications breaks down data silos, enhances cross-team collaboration, and put all information in a unified place for improved decision-making. Salesforce can be seamlessly integrated with the following business applications:

Marketing platforms: HubSpot, Marketo, Mailchimp, Pardot

ERP Systems: SAP, Oracle, Netsuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365

Help Desk Software: Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Jira

Productivity Suites: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Asana

Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle

Partnering with a Salesforce integration partner enables you to get a reliable, scalable, and smooth connection between your Salesforce system and business applications.

Salesforce integration involves several approaches and deciding factors:

Selecting the Integration Approach:

Code-based integration: It is a custom integration approach where APIs and middleware are used. This approach gives a free hand to developers to customize Salesforce integrations as per business requirements.

App-based integration: This integration approach uses pre-built apps from Salesforce AppExchange. This method is quick and easy to integrate with third-party systems.

Selecting an Integration Tool:

If you’re considering app-based integration for faster integration, the below factors must be followed:

Check tool availability on AppExchange

Pre-built connectors to minimize setup time and complexity

Verify that the app receives regular updates

User reviews and ratings

Customization flexibility

Evaluate the pricing stricture

Planning the Integration Architecture:

The integration must be carried way by following the below questions in mind:

Which systems will be integrated with Salesforce?

Will the app support one-way or two-way sync?

What will be the “source of truth” for each data type?

How will the app trigger API calls between Salesforce and other business applications?

How data will be filtered and transformed?

How will the app resolve data duplicity?

Connections and Mapping Configuration:

Using API and authentication, the integration tool will be connected to Salesforce. Configuration is required among connections and target apps. Once the connection is in place, data fields should be mapped between Salesforce and external objects.

Automation and Workflow Building:

Now you can set up workflows and logic to automatically start syncing, schedule tasks, or filter data. This process prevents the need to manually intervene.

Testing and Deploying:

When everything is in place, it’s important to test thoroughly synchronized data and scenarios before launching. 

Maintaining Integrations:

The integration must be watched for regular updates and adjustments to ensure it works smoothly in the new environment.

By following the above-mentioned steps, Salesforce can be reliably connected with your business application as per your business needs.

Alt Digital Technologies as an AppExchange Partner is here to help you at every stage of your Salesforce integration journey.

An application that may have taken a professional developer days to design from scratch can be created in just a few minutes by a user by simply describing the programme they want, what they want it to perform, and the data sources they want to link with App Studio.

Its point-and-click interface makes it simple to modify App Studio programmes, and by asking its generative AI-powered assistant for help, users may get quick answers to tasks. App Studio enables technical professionals (like IT project managers, data engineers, and enterprise architects) who lack software development skills to quickly create secure, fully managed AWS internal applications without requiring operational knowledge. This takes care of the tedious work of creating and maintaining apps, freeing users to concentrate on creating applications that aid in solving business issues and boosting productivity in their positions.

Those with some technical skills may now quickly and easily create enterprise-grade applications using App Studio, which was previously limited to professional developers only. The learning curve associated with traditional low-code solutions is eliminated by App Studio’s generative AI-powered assistant, which speeds up the process of creating applications and makes routine tasks like creating processes, testing applications, and UI design easier.

Using a drop-down box, the user can select the precise company data sources that the application should connect to, for instance, and then type a simple question.Users only need to click the “generate data” button to start generating sample data that will demonstrate how their application will process data in real time.

With built-in connectors for AWS (Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon S3) and Salesforce, as well as hundreds of third-party services (HubSpot, Twilio, and Zendesk) via application programming interface (API) connectors, users can also effortlessly connect their applications to internal data sources. App Studio takes care of all deployment, operations, and maintenance, so customers don’t even need to consider the underlying code. When an application is prepared for deployment, App Studio creates a unique URL that end users may reach with role-based access controls and already-existing enterprise authentication technologies.

“App Studio is a force multiplier for technical staff at any organisation, tailored to suit the demands of the biggest enterprise clients and the fastest-growing startups. Now that users have some technical skills, they can simply describe the application they want to construct using natural language, and App Studio takes care of the development process, delivering a product that workers can use right away. A new era of productivity for companies of all sizes has arrived since it has never been simpler for technical experts to create custom applications suited to the particular requirements of their enterprise.

Every application that is launched using App Studio is incredibly performant, scalable, and secure, freeing up technical professionals to concentrate on innovation instead of managing applications. IT teams can simply monitor usage trends, manage user and data access, and establish safeguards to ensure adherence to a company’s security standards thanks to App Studio’s insight into every application. When compared to competing low-code alternatives, App Studio offers customers an 80% savings because it is free to construct and they only pay for the time employees spend utilising the published applications. In the US West (Oregon), AWS App Studio is now in preview.

Over 28,000 students in 50 locations are assisted by Campus Life & Style in finding a room (and a community) to call home for the academic year. According to Scott Puntenney, national revenue manager at Campus Life & Style, “a team of two were able to build a complete application that streamlines data intake, management, and reporting for their 150-person team with App Studio.”

“AWS use data from their market survey process to identify the next areas where they will build student housing, but this is a labor-intensive, manual process that involves over 150 individuals for data entry, gathering, and validation across numerous spreadsheets, forms, and dashboards. Their project that this data processing application will reduce human error associated with manual data entry by 98% and boost the efficiency of their market survey collection and distribution process by 20%. They now intend to implement App Studio to update their HR and finance data pipelines, as well as make use of more AWS generative AI capabilities to enhance their process management at scale even further.

Leading supplier of audit and assurance, consulting, financial advising, risk advisory, tax, and other services is Deloitte. According to JB McGinnis, US AWS alliance leader at Deloitte Consulting LLP, “App Studio can help their technical employees build secure, scalable applications that streamline tasks and increase operational efficiency in minutes.” “As a worldwide supplier serving brands from all over the world in a variety of industries, their staff have to work with a wide range of clients, each with their own unique tasks and procedures.

AWS technical staff members may take the lead and quickly go from an idea to an application with App Studio, which simplifies tasks for the company as a whole. App Studio apps can effectively scale and adapt to their employees’ demands as teams expand and company objectives change, enabling us to provide greater service to their clients.

In order to facilitate the development of patient journeys and enhance patient outcomes, HealthVerity offers the most extensive healthcare and consumer data ecosystem in the United States. Jeremy Stewart, vice president of engineering at HealthVerity, said, “App Studio opens up low-code tools to their company for the first time, allowing us to leverage their many existing AWS investments and empowering employees to build applications in minutes, instead of days, with the help of its generative AI-powered assistant.” Because the low-code solutions that were already on the market did not satisfy their company’s stringent security requirements, they have had to build all of AWS internal tools from the ground up.

In addition to their daily tasks, a small team of five developers had to handle this infrastructure, which increased their operating expenses and diverted them from their primary duties. AWS staff can concentrate on customer-facing tasks since every application using App Studio is safe and completely controlled by AWS.

High velocity teams can release, track, and improve software as it’s in production with LaunchDarkly. Claire Vo, the chief product officer at LaunchDarkly, stated, “App Studio helps bridge the skills gap so the technical employees most familiar with a business problem are empowered to solve it.The technical staff members best suited to handle these difficulties may now quickly resolve them with a safe, scalable solution that is customised to their issue by reducing the barrier to developing an internal application.

Contact centre agents may access high-productivity services and client self-service through all channels with TrustPortal, an intelligent hyperautomation Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that requires no code. Chris Lamberton, CEO of TrustPortal, stated, “App Studio is a game changer for technical employees to create high-quality, visually appealing, and intuitive business applications.

Its generative AI-powered guidance is available throughout the development process.” AWS developers have little time to build and maintain internal apps because they work with some of the biggest companies in the world today. With App Studio, they can reduce the expense and complexity of creating and managing their own internal tools, freeing up engineers’ time to innovate for their clients.
