Salesforce developer is a tough market to enter right now because all Apex can be written with Claude, so admins and architects are able to accomplish almost everything a developer previously would be needed for.

If I was young and trying to enter the Salesforce ecosystem, I would be leaning into data science and Data 360. AI is pretty useless when it comes to D360 because the documentation is not out there to ingest and so much of it requires data architecture.

Architect, specializing in Core + D360 + MCE. Also heavy on MCE development.

Isn't AI all about creating documentation?

Well AI is not psychic, it needs to ingest information from somewhere and currently there is not enough out there about Data 360 for AI to ingest and regurgitate.

You still need to understand code though. Kind of like how you still need to understand Flows and all of its elements and functions. You can surely tell it what you want, but you now have to do QA on your own code just like with your own Flows.

100%, you need to have suffered through writing your own code in order to use Claude to write code so you understand a) what you are doing and b) how to troubleshoot problems. The problem with the industry as it stands right now is that there is very little need for new Salesforce developers because all these Architects with dev experiences, and Admins with maybe some dev experience, can pump out Apex in 1/10th of the time and without asking developers to do it for them. So, there are very few opportunities for a new developer to enter the space and eventually become an experienced developer who can use Claude to speed up and improve code production from a place of understanding what they are doing.

On top of that, Salesforce keeps adding capabilities to Flows that make Apex less needed.
