Tech communities grow when we share what we learn. But what actually helps? Step-by-step tutorials? “Lessons from production” posts? Or personal snippets about the real life of a Salesforce Marketing Developer (deadlines, UATs, odd bugs, work–life balance)?
Core question
Are these useful to you:
Technical articles (AMPScript, SSJS, Data Views, Journey Builder, CloudPages, tracking best practices, antipatterns)?
Personal disclosures (release management, stakeholder relations, fast learning, burnout, honest post-mortems)?
Or is a clear mix (70% technical, 30% personal) more valuable?
Why I’m asking
Technical posts solve concrete problems and save time.
Personal stories build trust, motivation, and normalize inevitable failures.
Together they turn “tips & tricks” into sustainable practices.
What formats help you most?
Short recipes: 5–10 minutes, one problem → one solution.
Deep guides: concept to production (code, diagrams, tests).
Post-mortems: what went wrong in a go-live and how we fixed it.
Career journal: certifications, learning routines, scope negotiation.
Reusable templates: AMPScript/SSJS snippets, Data Views SQL, QA/UAT checklists.
How do we define “helpful”?
Measure by: time saved, decision clarity, fewer launch errors, faster onboarding.
Tell me what actually moved you forward: a diagram? a script? a candid case study?
Feedback invite (please reply):
What do you want next month (technical/personal/mix)?
3 concrete topics (e.g., proper alias tracking in emails, secure CloudPage patterns, safe SQL on _Sent/_Open).
Preferred length (5 min, 15 min, 30+ min)?
Best format for you (article, commented code, short video, PDF checklist)?
One article you’d always recommend — and why.
Wrap-up
I want future posts to be truly useful, not just likeable. Tell me what helps your day-to-day and what inspires you long-term. I’m waiting for your replies — they’ll shape the editorial plan and technical priorities for the next publications.
