First Show&Tell of 2026 just dropped! 🥳 Featuring Alice Vinogradova. Yes, it's about #SAP and #AI stuff. youtu.be/iwsH2E_9baw

Some "ABAP Gore" material. Do you think this program uploads a file and creates postings in SAP? Think again! It actually downloads some data into a file to be sent elsewhere. 🤦 Good thing this person isn't in charge of labeling Arrivals / Departures at the airport. 😅

Maximus wishes everyone Happy New Year! 🥳

Santa Claus on delivering 99% Uptime - another banger! 😀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMoq...

Seriously amazing craftsmanship on that website. Reminded me of some Old Internet gems. 🥲

Another day, another AI slop "blog post" on SAP Community. 😐 I have to say though that the way the _stock_ report is called ZSTCOK... is just diabolical. 😈 Really, ChatGPT? community.sap.com/t5/technolog...

Recruiters these days. 🤦

Mad respect to @techcrunch.com for making the sponsored content disclosure prominently visible. Not hiding in the footnotes in tiny font but boom, right there and clearly stated. Very helpful, wish everyone would do that.

Number of times I have to click "Got it" these days is too damn' high. I have 5 different clients with their own MS Teams. Have mercy, @microsoft.com 😅

@sapcommunity.bsky.social Why is there no option to delete a comment on SCN? Lots of odd options (RSS feed for a comment? 😵) but no Delete, even under Edit? Also, I have no idea where/how one is supposed to ask such questions about the platform. 😕 Not a clue.

SAP published "Developer Guide: From Classic ABAP to ABAP Cloud". Well, one positive thing about it: it exists. 😅 Bonus: survey pop-up appears every 2 minutes when you try to read it. help.sap.com/docs/abap-cl...

My iPhone just updated to iOS 26.1. Hate it. Stupid analog clock icon, stupid narrow font on the keyboard, stupid transparent UI elements. 😑 Idk, maybe I'm getting old, but iOS peaked at whenever they added multiple timers IMHO. Don't fix what ain't broken, folks.

I rarely recommend newsletters (except you know which one 😅) but this hidden gem can easily give The Onion run for their money. "Marsupial Men", "The Quantum Cafe" (hours cannot be determined with certainty 😀), Lay-off of 310,000 angels, and other fun stories. bignewsnow.substack.com

Just another day in SAP EWM GUID Hell.

Super special issue with a super special surprise contributor! 😉Bonus: great resources for the home cooks. ERP and food in one? It doesn't get any better than this, folks!

Whether you haven't attended or watched any TechEd stuff and are like "what?" or you did and are like "huh?", it's for you. Bonus: what could go possibly wrong with "shipping" AI-generated ABAP code.

"Conference speaking isn’t about the information, it’s about being seen next to the right information" 😀 Another banger from the creators of developer interview videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCiv...

Stumbled upon a weirdest place in SAP Help today (via random search), vaguely called ABAP Development. It's an odd collection of empty pages and old programs and documents. Some might still be interesting, like adding table entries to a transport. 🤔 help.sap.com/docs/SUPPORT...

Hey, fellow EWM Victim Club members! How do you deal with the absolute material ID data type madness? MATNR = CHAR 40 /SAPAPO/MATID = CHAR 22 /SCWM/DE_MATID = RAW 16 WHAT IN THE FLYING F*K??? 😱 Who is in charge of this product? Let's have a chat in the alley.

Just in time for Halloween - The House of Enterprise Horrors XC. Enter if you dare!

Does anyone know what happened with the results of 2025 SAP Developer survey? It's nowhere to be found on Google. 😕The page with survey results only has 2020-2023 results. developers.sap.com/developer-in...

Last chance to sign up for our #SAP Clean Core Unscripted roundtable. It's tomorrow, 10/23 at 11 am US Eastern. This is the last roundtable I'm hosting this year and it's not recorded, don't miss the opportunity! Register here: www.mindsetconsulting.com/event/sap-cl...

Very curious what is the thought behind ABAP code like this. Nevermind the fact that there is no reason to put anything in INITIALIZATION (there is no CONSTRUCTOR in lcl... class and it's not used on selection screen). But like... just... WTF? Does someone have no trust in object creation? 😵

It's not about the SAP packages you're thinking of. 😀

Was just talking to a functional person about a prototype involving ALV and of course, they also want to make it editable. Which reminded me that this year we celebrated 17th International Editable SALV Day. 😢 community.sap.com/t5/technolog...

Last year, did a presentation about "what is ERP" at kid's school. Gave away some @boringnerds.bsky.social souvenir pens. Few days ago, my kid needs some school paperwork signed. I ask him for a pen. He hands me the Boring Enterprise Nerds pen and says he uses it at school all the time. 🥹

Hot off the Zoom recording press! We talk about AI assistant for Z fields, Community gardening, SAP UX Treasure Island, SIs vs customers, and more.

We are revisiting the subjects of Clean Core (this just keeps on giving) and learning frustrations of SAP developers. Also, this is your chance to find what the heck is LeanIX and what's the best restaurant in SAP BTP Town. Subscribe and tell a friend!

Having an argument on LinkedIn about DMEE. What a time to be alive!

Oh, here go hell come. 😬

Typical experience with search on SAP API Hub...err... Business Accelerator Hub. We all know MIRO. Can you guess what's the API name to post an incoming invoice? Oh no, it's not "incoming invoice" or "vendor invoice". It's "Supplier invoice". Good luck finding it. 🤦 #SAP

I've never used random number generator in ABAP but I'm all for these uber-nerdy posts that bring back memories of the "peak SCN". 🥲 #ABAP #SAP community.sap.com/t5/technolog...

Check out my Clean Core masterpiece, Paul's unexpected ode to functional consultants and other fun stories! #SAP #AI #ABAP

Constantly finding some useful SAP stuff that's been available for years but I've not heard of it. Latest find: Fiori elements Feature Showcase Apps. Remember demo reports showing all icons in ABAP or ALV features? Something like that but for Fiori Elements. #SAP github.com/SAP-samples/...

Is SAP Help having a rough time? It's been very slow to load lately. Almost every time I follow a link from somewhere, it keeps spinning the wheels. Used to be almost instant. 🤔 #SAP
