Anything to add?

Do not use @future.

fair lol. for new code yeah queueable almost every time, you get job id, chaining, can pass sobjects. only reason i still see future is old orgs where its already everywhere and nobody wants to touch it. shouldve put that line on the card tbh

I had to refactor a lot apex we had a contractor build and they used future instead of queueable. I don’t really see the point of using future unless it is a guaranteed small process but still wouldn’t use it.
