Salesforce raises prices for the first time in 7 years - stock rises

Salesforce, the leading provider of software for customer relations management, announced that it will implement a price increase for some of its cloud and marketing tools starting in August.

The company’s decision to raise prices, the first in seven years, was met with a positive market response as its shares surged nearly 4% during early trading on Tuesday.

I fucking hate Salesforce. I have to integrate with it via API. Why they chose to create a shittier version of SQL is so annoying.
- Never had to use salesforce, what’s janky about their sql? Anything beyond the incompatible functions that I’m used to when moving between PLSQL/TSQL/Db2?
  
  I mean, there’s no select *, for a start.
- Other than SOQL, what’s wrong with their API?
  
  Which one is the question. They have multiple different ones with no feature parity. Looking for documentation? Go fuck yourself and download this 60 page pdf. Also it hasn't been updated in a while and we won't tell you about breaking changes. Sorry for the late reply, Lemmy didn't tell me about your reply till just a few minutes ago lol
- As a software engineer who has dealt with so many incidents resulting from the garbage coming out of salesforce. SO. MUCH. THIS.
  
  I swear it's always in a perpetual state of duct tape no matter where I see it used.
