At the time, Borges was spending the semester in the United States as a visiting professor at Michigan State University. His stay led to a number of invitations from other American universities, and the Milwaukee appearance was one of those visits.

There is also a photograph of Borges at the University of Wisconsin from 1976 reproduced in Emir Rodríguez Monegal’s Borges: A Literary Biography.

If anyone knows more about the circumstances of this lecture, or has access to contemporary UWM material related to Borges’s visit, I’d be interested to know more.

Started a new J3 a few months ago and it’s been a mess. Constant fire drills, missed deadlines, and regular pressure to work nights and weekends.

I’d drop it, but I need the extra income for now, so I’m trying to replace it before pulling the plug.

How do you handle a chaotic J without letting it eat into the rest of your OE setup?

I’m curious to hear about other people’s experiences working with Salesforce MVPs.

I’ve worked with a couple in the past, and my impression was poor. What stood out was a striking lack of critical thinking. They seemed more interested in defending Salesforce’s positions and decisions than in exercising independent judgment, almost like an echo chamber for Salesforce marketing or corporate messaging.

It made me wonder what the incentive structure actually is. Are MVPs compensated, given special access, or otherwise rewarded for this level of public alignment with Salesforce? Or is it mostly unpaid advocacy in exchange for visibility, LinkedIn engagement, community status, and influencer credibility within the ecosystem?
