AI does not replace expertise. It multiplies it.

My colleagues with 15 years of Salesforce experience keep telling me “Claude does everything now.” For them, that's basically true. They already know what a good Validation Rule looks like, when Flow Orchestration is worth the complexity, when a Master-Detail relationship is the right call instead of a Lookup. AI just makes them faster.

Someone close to me, with the same AI but no experience deploying websites, tried to build a website with it and got completely stuck, because the AI confidently gave a half-wrong answer about Workers, DNS and uploads.

Same tool, completely different outcome. The multiplier only works if you already have something to multiply.

My recommendation to all Admins: learn to code.
