What makes it work

A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.

1

Posts track platform changes as they ship

Writing about User Mode Apex and API 67.0 changes right when they land shows he's still hands-on with the current platform, not coasting on older authority.

2

A maintained architectural opinion across years

The recurring Apex Enterprise Patterns / FFLib thread demonstrates a sustained, evolving point of view rather than a one-off article.

3

Personal-history framing in the tagline

"From BBC Basic to Force.com and beyond" gives a long-arc technical identity instead of a generic "Salesforce blog" label.

What Salesforce Developers can take from this

Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.

  • Write about platform releases as they land — a dated post reacting to a specific release proves current, active expertise.

  • Pick one architectural opinion (a pattern, a library) and revisit it publicly over years rather than one-and-done posts.

  • A one-line personal framing of your technical journey is more memorable than a generic bio paragraph.
