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.

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...

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? 😵

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.

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...

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

You’re going to laugh but I had my work laptop for 5 years and only today realized it has a calculator button above Num Lock. Accidentally touched it and freaked out when Windows Calculator suddenly popped up. 🤦‍♀️🤣 Makes one wonder what else I’ve been missing.

Just watched The Brief series (2004-2005) where barristers refer to each other in court as "my learned friend". So cool! Why have I never heard this before?! We should use this in the code reviews, my learned friends. 😀 www.imdb.com/title/tt0407...

Has anyone heard about "tagging framework" in ABAP? Trying to solve the mystery here: community.sap.com/t5/technolog...

Designer: So, how much of blue color do you want in the new design schema? SAP: YES.

Dammit, I just remembered about the super fun "ABAP Gore" (2 parts!) thread we had on SCN and it looks like it's gone. 😭
