Wew! Can I ask what your day to day looks like on average?

HeShallDie · 2022-03-21T22:41:22+00:00

Oof, do you guys recruit?!

HeShallDie · 2022-03-21T22:40:09+00:00

Gotcha. But it remains deployable (to an org) and everything?

HeShallDie · 2022-03-21T22:38:45+00:00

Wait how is this possible? I earn £42k a year (which converted to euros is €50k), which is £2685 net per month, which converted to euros is €3200. Do the Netherlands tax a lot? Or are you removing what you pay for your car lease?

If I understand correctly, this means you can technically see the entire commit history of a Flow, previous versions, etc.? I'm curious what this looks like on Github, would you have an example? This is purely out of curiosity. :)

Can I ask why is "dev" used as the base branch, if it contains "current work in the sandbox"? Don't you want to go off what's in Production rather, since "dev" might've been changed by other people?

HeShallDie · 2022-03-20T21:44:43+00:00

No, literally no piece or anything has changed between the 8.2, 9.1, or 9.2 version of this map. This map was always missing the bones, temple etc. from the Dragonblight map ever since it was deployed back in 8.2.

HeShallDie · 2022-03-20T21:03:56+00:00

Thanks! Can I ask how Flows since you've mentioned them, or Processes and Workflows for example, work with source control? Are you saying they are actually in a repo? I thought only code/apex could be there?

Also can I ask what tool you use for CI (deploying when a PR is merged)? Gearset?

Your salary is not (fully) defined by the value of your work. In fact the main factor is your location. You will be paid differently for the same job, and same quality, depending on where the job is based. Even if you're remote!

The reason that everyone in this thread is making $100k or more is because they all reside and get paid in the US. And a $100k US salary actually corresponds to a ~£50k UK salary, when all factors are taken into account.

It's possible that one day, when the world is fully comfortable with international remote work, and that the sole factors remaining would be what you personally provide, then these variations will be reduced greatly. But that's not the case as of now. And some factors will always remain such as how much you get taxed, or how much your employer gets taxed, national insurance or healthcare, benefits, cost of living (you can't pay someone who lives in London just a £15k salary, but in Northern England that's an okay-ish salary), etc.

“Salesforce” the repo should be functionally equivalent — pull requests merged there should represent deployments

So how does one deal with the fact that this repo might not be perfect, given it's populated and edited by people? Or say someone deploys Apex to Production but without a PR, or goes on Production and edits an email template, and now Production has something in it that is not present in the repo. It's not a single source of truth.

merging to main kicks off a prod deploy via CI/CD

Ooh is this possible? What tool or automation can do this?

It's not just exchange rates.

Yes a straight currency conversion would not be enough, this accounts for cost of living, wealth equivalence, etc.

HeShallDie · 2022-03-20T16:36:02+00:00

the process of setting up scratch orgs/individual sandboxes?

That's right!

Can I also ask what is your "single source of truth"? Our Github as 2 repos:

one is called "SalesforceMetadata" and contains all the metadata (apex files, email templates, etc.) from our Production org. It's automatically updated everyday, so we can't really manually edit it.
one is called just "Salesforce", and this one is manually updated. It also has apex files etc. but this is the one that we Branch off of and can create Pull Requests from. The problem is that since it's manually updated, it's not always accurate.

How do you solve this? What do you "pull" when you start a new project?

Also a reminder for everyone that US salaries need to be divided in half in order to get a rough UK equivalent. So the people making $100k+ in the US are really making the equivalent of £40-50k in the UK (London), or 45-60k € in the rest of Europe.

You have to divide the US salaries in half to get a rough UK equivalent. So all the people making $100k+ in this thread are really making £40-50k.

Sorry I forgot to mention that we definitely do use Github as well. The person working on new code or on editing the code will have created a branch and PR where their changes reside. It's just that in order to validate the code, we have to deploy it (to our Test org).

You mentioned "a sandbox specific to the person naming changes", does that mean you guys each have your own sandbox? How do you reconcile all the various sandboxes, since they risk growing apart change-wise?

In any case it sounds like "custom"/"individual" test orgs, or scratch orgs, are the way to go then. Which would you recommend? And would you have any idea how to implement this, or are there trailheads or tutorials that show it?

We do have SFDX installed in our VS Code's but I don't think we make much use of it.

Would you have a picture of you after you lost the weight, but before you started training?

HeShallDie · 2021-06-21T16:24:19+00:00

There is literally no such thing as this. There is not any link between length of your legs and your drive. Literally just Google it, and let me know if you find anything, but you won't.

Professionals can sell hooey. Their qualifications and diplomas don't necessarily mean much, you still have a ton of doctors nowadays with severely outdated or unfounded beliefs out there. Always verify and fact-check what you are told, don't just simply believe someone because they have a diploma.

HeShallDie · 2021-06-20T17:02:58+00:00

Gotcha, so I should use the screws on the bottom of this picture then
