If you're on Heroku how do you deploy now? It says it's still weeks away before you can deploy - did I read this right?
Heroku is a one of kind platform, many tried to replicate, none have come close, the ability to setup a whole app with a few clicks on dynos and add-ons is great. The price was always salty $50/month for 1gb RAM shared CPU, and in the few past years no newly released features comes to mind. As a customer I have no idea what this security issue impact, the communication has been poor as this post does not clarify much…
Sorry but Render at their lunch entirely. Try it. https://render.com/docs/deploy-rails Want simple? Use a build.sh Want a bit complexity? Use a Dockerfile. Their docs are really copy paste for 99.9% applications. Whoever in that company made the decision to invest in docs was right on the money. It made switching to them a much easier choice. https://render.com
Also the reason Django has always been so approachable (particularly in the early days, as it is orders of magnitude more complex now) and therefore popular
Older still, IMHO also why mIRC scripting was so much fun despite its shortcomings. The help file had literally everything you could want to learn about the language and it almost begged to be read. It's how I got into coding

re: 2 interestingly, when i log in or reauthenticate, or log in through the heroku cli, I get sent to https://verify.salesforce.com/v1/verify/
When I saw the Salesforce email I thought I was being spammed or phished or getting a job offer.

“I have a lifelong enthusiasm for developers and the experience they have building software together” And then drops a link to contact them, via LinkedIn… LinkedIn is the polar opposite of GitHub.

Email address is good but also an issue tracker or better yet IRC or something public would be good.
It does pose the question, what is the most developer friendly contact method??
GET /contacts
POST /message
Interested to hear ideas.

They're working on something called "Project Periwinkle" that is intended to remove all Heroku branding and make everything Salesforce branded. Periwinkle being a colour between blue (salesforce) and purple (heroku). No more Heroku signups, you'll need a Salesforce account to use it. No more free tier either.
Heroku has been in the process of being sunset for years now. New features have been banned for years. Only "keep the lights on" projects are allowed. Not that they could do anything with the skeleton crew they have running the platform.
Bob Wise's LinkedIn doesn't even mention Heroku, only Salesforce. Lenora mentions the project here: https://www.lenoraporter.com/portfolio/salesforce
Source: I'm a former employee that left in protest because of this project.
As a former herokai, communication was always the #1 point of discussion internally. This idea that they "can" do better is a half truth. They DID do better. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine what the limiting resource was here. By the way, how many senior devs and cofounders are left at Heroku Bob? Why doesn't it show up at dreamforce anymore?
(Former) Salesforce employee here, long enough to have been there a couple of years before the Heroku acquisition. I can't let this stand without a comment. Heroku never seemed to want to integrate, but instead be the "cool kids", those who just do not have to worry about the enterprisy stuff such as automated backups, DR, high availability, enabling Java, etc. Everything they did was great, everything "Salesforce" s…
You’re correct that the lack of real integration with SFDC was a large part of the problem though. Though as far as SFDC acquisitions go Heroku was cheap. More expensive ones had far worse outcomes even with integration.

Agreed, for the specific issue. But it seems like he’s asking ppl to contact him more generally. It does pose the question, what is the most developer friendly contact method?? GET /contacts POST /message Interested to hear ideas.
If it means 'easiest method for only developers to contact me' that would probably be some documented REST API.
Either way, I agree the answer isn't Linkedin.

Unfortunately, git lfs isn't supported for CLI pushes, haven't found a way that works yet.
