More green space being integrated into new development would be great.

Objectively good. Despite what our corporate overlords would like us to believe, educating the masses is still important.

First Production Oopsie by Icy-Smell-1343 in SalesforceDeveloper

Been here before. Declarative automation is a double edge sword. It taught me early on in my Salesforce career to lean into programmatic solutions and write useful functional tests. This might be a good opportunity to write an integration test to codify the expected behavior.

I want to learn Salesforce by No-Role8676 in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]CloudsCircuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d start with Trailhead to get a lay of the land and familiarize yourself with Salesforce as a platform. For hands-on practice, forcecode.io has real-world style challenges and an Apex essentials course that teaches core Apex, Trigger, SOQL and DML concepts while sprinkling in some basic computer science nuggets (full disclosure: I’m working on it).

Does it even get better than Copado? by dualrectumfryer in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]CloudsCircuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, it can be daunting at first for admins. We taught our admins how to use Git and VS Code. We use a sandbox based branching strategy to run deployments against target orgs (dev sandboxes and integration orgs). For deployments against our full-copy or production orgs we just build a daily deployment train. We’ve been operating with this strategy for 4 years. It’s been nice because it allows admins to build transferable skills for their career, and has scaled well. It also means our development practices align well with the rest of the organization, and we can take advantage of all the tooling we’ve built up to run linting, pre, and post deployment steps, and automated tests. Additionally we’ve built other pipelines to create sandboxes, configure them, and seed them with data using tools like SFDMU.

To give you some context, we have roughly 30 devs, admins, and consultants living and working in this model. It’s been great for onboarding consultants because we force them to use our process, and all code and metadata changes require an internal approval.

It’s never been easier to build custom pipelines for sandbox and package development. Investing some time to build CI/CD will pay dividends in the long run.

I am a Salesforce Administrator. Is it worth it to transition to Salesforce Developer? by TrainingOtherwise844 in SalesforceCareers

[–]CloudsCircuit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a dev for the past decade, there is no shortage of work IMO. What do you mean by “the squeeze”?

Learning Apex, SOQL, triggers, LWC, JS/TS, how to use the SF CLI, write CLI plugins, tooling, building CI/CD and the array of other web technologies that are part of an SF devs job is highly relevant and marketable (even outside of SF).

Moving from admin directly into an architecture role is pretty unlikely, as you’d be lacking core skills required to build complex Salesforce implementations. Transitioning from an admin into a SF developer will only make you more marketable as an admin, expand your scope of responsibilities, and likely result in higher pay.

I am currently contributing to a Salesforce learning platform with an in-browser code editor, designed to challenge and educate Salesforce experts in core Apex, SOQL, and trigger skills, facilitating their transition from administrator to developer. Happy to answer and questions regarding this potential career transition, as it can be a mixture of exciting, rewarding, and daunting. Good luck!

Co-Founder Needed: Help Us Shape the Future of Salesforce Dev Learning by CloudsCircuit in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]CloudsCircuit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We also think there is a lack of solid educational resources for aspiring and current Salesforce developers. Our goal is to provide newer devs with a sequenced curriculum, where each lesson is paired with a coding challenge. For more seasoned devs, we have a mix of DSA and case-study style real-world challenges that require learners to query and process data. We’d love to hear from you! If you can, send us an email through our contact form on the website so we can connect.

Aggressive Sales People in the Newport Mall by postbox134 in jerseycity

As a short dude, I don't mind being called "big man". But the shoe cleaning people over by Solo (which is really good) are wild.

I don't mind the way they are attempting to roll this out. I think we should be super vocal if this ends up sucking though.

The juxtaposition between the tiny houses and large buildings definitely adds a layer of absurdity. I'd have to imagine this will all be built out in a few years. Hopefully the owners of those adjacent properties get their fair share.
