HN discussionHave you looked into Salesforce DX? ( https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/2018/02/getting-start... ) >- develop locally. - easily backup using source control. - contribute to or create open source projects easily.

HN discussionSalesforce is essentially a database as a service with some fancy admin panels and prebuilt web interfaces. The tech is proprietary, and not that fun to work with. [0] As someone who has worked extensively with Salesforce, the cult like fanbase is annoying. I'll be the first to admit the tech is underwhelming and in many cases nowhere near other modern technology.[1][2][3] But, I still 100% recommend Salesforce to c…

HN discussionI have never had it be every now and then. It is always bullshit, the first time around. Usually followed by, "You ignored the first three rules, and all the examples, try again." I have worked with some amazingly incompetent devs. Some promoted into place to become someone else's problem, and some parachuted in through connections, and never once have they brought the continuous and unevolving frustration of modern…
