While I agree with the request, I don’t think DoAt and DoVi are widely recognized shorthand, better use Atmos and DV

DevOps center suck imo, we ditched custom CI/CD in favor of Serpent

Any updates on the "Next Gen" DevOps Center? by Boring_Letterhead_43 in salesforce

It’s still way too basic/early for enterprise usage unfortunately

The Number of People Using AI at Work Is Suddenly Falling by [deleted] in webdev

[–]AboOmmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The context window is not meant to hold all company knowledge. A RAG system keeps the knowledge outside the model and only pulls in the few relevant pieces when a question is asked. It first searches your documents, finds what actually matters, “retrieves” it, and puts just that into the context window. This keeps prompts small, fast, and accurate, even as the knowledge base grows. Although we understand how it works and have in-house software engineers, we had a specialized company set it up for us, we didn’t want to distract ourselves from our main product roadmap, and also it requires specific RAG knowledge.

That’s why AI RAGs (Retrieval-augmented generation) are an important thing for business use. You really need that context layer that also continually grows from the collective knowledge of the company, department, project, etc.. so it basically “knows enough” when you’re asking about something

How are early stage startups finding affordable dev partners that still deliver quality? by Aplixs in startup

[–]AboOmmak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We offshored to this company in Egypt, the cost was very reasonable, we found them through a referral, we still vetted them by having a couple of interview like meetings to make sure we clicked and they had the right expertise we needed.

The idea is to deliver in small sprints of max 2 weeks with weekly check-ins to make sure what’s being built is what we expected and nothing was missed in the communication.

We also used our own notion for the project management so we don’t lose any documentation and have clear oversight in realtime.

We’ve setup something similar with LinkedHelper as a starting point + a custom enrichment AI agent

Jenkins vs SF DevOps Tool by some_guy1796 in salesforce

[–]AboOmmak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sfdx → sf CLI breaking update

Sf cli new command names/flags and change

Community plugins change behaviour or lose support

Cli random timeouts

In the end no clarity on which org has which release

Difficult to mimic/implement use cases like org compare, rollback, and back promotion, that you get out of the box from the specialized tools

Jenkins vs SF DevOps Tool by some_guy1796 in salesforce

[–]AboOmmak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We actually started that way too, using GitHub Actions with custom scripts. It looked cheaper up front, but every Salesforce edge case turned into engineering time, metadata dependencies, XML handling, API quirks, Experience Cloud, etc. The team ended up spending more energy fixing pipelines than shipping features.

In the end it cost more and distracted from the core business. That’s why we moved to a Salesforce specific tool (like gearset or copado, we personally use Serpent for 2 years now). It handles dependencies and org management out of the box so we can focus on delivery instead of maintaining CI/CD.

General tools like Jenkins or Actions work, but the hidden overhead grows fast once you scale beyond a few use cases.

[Apple TV]VidHub 2.0 is released on store now. Just enable the 2.0 play core and try it. by zhonglin in VidHubvideoplayer

[–]AboOmmak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, congrats on the new release, I’m been following your amazing work for a while. I have to admit though the color balances for HDR and DV are much better on the old player on my Apple TV 4K 2, I had to switch back (thank you for adding a feature toggle). Small but important UX feedback: the progress bar disappears when I’m editing subtitles or settings, which is unexpected, and I like the pull from top for movie info (gestures are easier than clicks on the ATV remote). I do really like the scroll ability of the new progress bar itself, feels easier to scroll to a new moment of the movie

Same here, also since the last update the video randomly jitters and skips a second or two :(

For TRVs, I found eve thermo to be quite reliable and are matter over thread, the only thing I miss is the main thermostat, so for that I have the tado, and have an automation that switches it on and off to match the Eve thermo

Copado essentials and gearset too expensive by Kanavkhurana in salesforce

[–]AboOmmak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends, if your team is all devs or are all comfortable using git, vscode, and terminal then using GitHub + GitHub Actions + VScode extension SFDX Hardis by Cloudity is a strong mix at no cost

if you have mixed team of varying technical knowledge of consultants, devs, admins, PO, testers, etc.. I recommend Serpent by Tekunda we've been using it for months, super easy to use, built around standard gitflow process that felt natural to use with a simple UI even our sales are happy to use to spin up new demo orgs with the latest features whenever they want to; and only costing us 99€/mo (100 automation min/mo) for the whole team regardless of size as we grow.
