      You don’t want to know how bad it is. A good friend is a consultant/business analyst for some salesforce-based loan software. Shit’s terrifying.

        SFDC itself is written in Java but uses Javascript-esque APEX for whitelabel development?

          I mostly meant the base level shit with text files and ridiculous APIs. Converting from one servicing system to another sounds kind of fun, though. I’ve always enjoyed doing horrible things to data. The most recent one I heard is there’s a drag and drop visual coding tool that I’m told can’t export to apex - just make calls to it.
