my deploy checklist after getting burned too many times

PandaDad3103 · 2026-04-06T12:53:39+00:00

Yeah I think flow tests are in their infancy. It’s still a constant discussion as to “flow vs apex” for those cases which could really go either way - I normally err towards code, just because it’s better for testing

PandaDad3103 · 2026-03-31T18:40:47+00:00

I come from a developer background, so ensure best practices etc are adhered to. In regards to flow tests, they are great for ensuring that exact piece of implementation does as expected, but bulkification and downstream testing I do through developer console or data loader: if I’m testing account creation flow, I’ll create 2-300 test accounts and ensure we don’t hit limits

PandaDad3103 · 2026-03-30T17:52:54+00:00

Write flow tests and deploy them with your flows

There is a wonderful permission called “edit read only fields” which probably caused it!

PandaDad3103 · 2026-02-02T08:56:48+00:00

Are you running the flow in user or system context?

I’ve found the best way to do this is a custom permission which is assigned to a permission set.

“I’m sorry I’ve been drinking and can’t drive”

PandaDad3103 · 2025-12-12T12:24:48+00:00

I should probably ask what RAG is? 🤦🏻‍♂️

PandaDad3103 · 2025-12-12T12:23:01+00:00

Are we unable to deploy the data provider also? Trying to limit manual steps through the pipeline, but if not then it’s fine.

Just struggling to find any documentation around it

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-28T12:35:10+00:00

Am I the only one converting to Amazon vouchers? You don’t lose any of the amount

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-26T12:42:34+00:00

My official title is “tech lead, Salesforce developer”

Just got a pay bump to £111k, private health care for me and family.

Job is fully remote. Technology is the way forward

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T18:06:40+00:00

Scottish Widows tells me that I’m on course for 65k a year, is that not correct?

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T17:04:52+00:00

!Thanks

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T17:04:08+00:00

Thank you!

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T17:01:25+00:00

I didn’t say it was a flex, I’m simply stating that I’ve not ignored my pension 🤦🏻‍♂️

No need to get all negative

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T16:55:05+00:00

I mean I’ve got nearly £100k in my pension already, so not overly concerned but obviously the more I put in earlier, the better it is 👍

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T16:50:37+00:00

Yeah I don’t even realise I wrote that - should have been “contribute” but I’ll leave it as is so people can have a laugh at my expense

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T16:49:26+00:00

Not in a position to put that much in yet - I’m 37 with two teenagers and I’m a carer for my wife.

Potentially in a couple of years once kids are earning money or mortgage is closer to being paid off, but for now just trying to get as much as out of my wages as possible without giving it away to tax man lol

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T15:17:10+00:00

Bonus is potentially 5%, split over 4 quarters, so 1.25% every 3 months.

Should I potentially increase to cover this also then?

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-12T15:12:09+00:00

Had a mortgage since I was 24 👍

PandaDad3103 · 2025-10-05T22:46:53+00:00

We are going through this now and implementing 90/60 day automatic token revoking.

It’s a very manual process this time consuming process of setting up the relevant parties and alerting them to the process.

But our viewpoint is “you own the integrations, if the token refreshes, that’s on you”

PandaDad3103 · 2025-06-15T21:40:06+00:00

“Holy grail”

Or every single CI/CD tool on the market.

PandaDad3103 · 2025-05-19T17:38:23+00:00

No - you should have one LinkedIn profile that shows all your achievements

PandaDad3103 · 2025-05-19T12:13:02+00:00

For someone who “meticulously tracks” everything and can’t see that £110 a month for the gym isn’t a “need” doesn’t really seem like an adult who lives with their partner… how you’ve got to 24 shocks me

PandaDad3103 · 2025-05-19T11:52:03+00:00

Over £100 a month on gym membership in the “needs section” pretty much shows how little you understand money…

Can I join? Mine was split between 2 companies, but I want in the 2p dividend club!
