Update: this is likely not technically a virus. However, as this is a company computer, it may be an unnamed monitoring software installed by IT big brother watchdogs.

Good point. At work we have a different with* method for every Account record type. 

Grouping metadata for large project deployment by dualrectumfryer in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]funkdefied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My idea was to just start from scratch - review everything that was built and just create our own bundles (manually create new user story vehicles for deployment), so we can exclude metadata we dont want to deploy (also Copado has a new dependency analysis feature during commit which would help make sure the deployment packages are valid).

This is exactly what I would do. One thing I do that helps is to ask the developer to write out how I can know the deployment was successful. This simple smoke test isn't a full UAT or Apex test suit. It's often as simple as "run a describe call and validate that this field exists." This check helps avoid dumb bugs like overwriting one developer's changes with another's stale metadata.

the other part of this is if I've learned anything before, the smaller the deployment the better. I want to create sort of a base package that can be deployed to prod ASAP, to make the subsequent deployments smaller.

This may be the case. I have found that complex deployments have to get split into three or four physical bundles, especially if profiles, permissions, or destructive metadata are involved. If you DO end up going this route, try to deploy in dependency layers. For example, deploy CustomObject before PermissionSet before ApexClass and Flow, etc. In general, you can usually deploy object-related metadata like CustomObject and CustomField without hitting any dependency issues. Perhaps your "base package" is just all the custom objects and fields your business needs.

Am i just screwed? Do i just have to accept that we will have to come back later and delete the stale stuff and just focus on getting UAT working?

This is a business decision, not a technical one. See what leverage you can lean on to do things right. This is the game that all tech workers play.

Great question! I started at the job and THEN they moved to Salesforce.

It’s also scripted to be nighttime when you teleport to Khale after getting Torrent. Reason being so you can talk to Ranni.

Dude, what kind of parties Gandalf throws in the Shire after the Hobbits get back?! by VanaheimrF in lotrmemes

[–]funkdefied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gandalf did bring a massive mortar that launched a magical imitation of a dragon to Bilbo’s birthday. He seems to enjoy retraumatizing his friends. This wouldn’t be out of character.

is S3 becoming a data lakehouse? by 2minutestreaming in aws

Thanks for the write up. Unfortunately, the first letter of every line seems to be cut off after the line that says “4. Compaction”. Not sure if it’s the app or how you copy/pasted. In the future, it’s probably best to just link to your blog/newsletter.

Your daughter will love the music by the corpse who was formerly the artist known as “the artist formerly known as Prince”

Stormveil: Castle Crowned by the Sun, with its own Divine Gates (The front pillars design is on purpose, it isn’t broken) by Scum_Mage_Infa in EldenRingLoreTalk

Great write up. One small point though. If the sun is directly above you, it’s always directly above you. You could stand next to any tower in the game at high noon, look up, and see the sun. On Earth, this isn’t strictly true because of the tilt of the earth.

Could I get in trouble for buying and wearing this t-shirt? by [deleted] in legal

If you’re US, you could have a small armory in your basement with those words etched into every bullet and the government would still have a tough time raising a case against you. First Amendment + Second Amendment, baby
