New to Salesforce. Was watching a yt video on data modeling and the architect was saying that we should avoid using custom objects if possible. We should first consider using standard objects, but then utilizing a managed package that contains the objects we need, but then lastly, custom objects should be considered. What’s so bad about creating custom objects?

Nothing is "bad" about custom objects, when there is a good reason to use them. If standard objects do what you need to, they're probably the way to go - standard functionality is part of what you're paying for Salesforce to get.

Here's an article on the topic: https://roycon.com/salesforce-custom-objects-5-reasons-you-shouldnt-use-them-and-the-one-time-you-should/

Really depends. Basically every customer that’s mature uses custom objects. For sales use cases I always recommend to use standard objects first especially account, contact, and opportunity because so many other features rely on these objects. If you replicate a standard object with some weird custom object there will come a point when the client realizes they can’t turn on something important because of what you did. Also I don’t know if I agree on the managed package point unless it’s a well supported package. Some managed packages aren’t scalable.

Weekend thought as many of us watch our portfolios bleed away value as the market hit all time highs: stick with it. This is a very difficult time in the market so try to figure out what’s not working and fix it. Stick with your process while trying to improve it. That should you you in the best place to manage risk now and be positioned to capture new opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Discipline, execution, and patience are key sources of alpha. Best of luck.
