In “How to Survive the SaaSpocalypse,” Abi Claus confronts the fear every Salesforce practitioner is feeling as AI writes the Flows and Apex that once took full sprints: is it coming for my job?

Her answer is that AI only commoditizes what was always commoditizable, the build and the syntax, while the truly valuable work stays human. Knowing which problem is worth solving, why the org is shaped the way it is, and whether the Flow should exist at all. AI is an amplifier that makes you more of what you already are, so the practitioner with judgment underneath gets a force multiplier, while the one who only knew execution just ships more undocumented work faster.

Drawing on scaling a team from 7 to over 40 and rebuilding after losing a major initiative four days before go-live without losing a single person, Abi shows that the people who became more valuable weren’t the fastest builders, but the ones who could take ambiguity and come back with the right thing to build. The tools will keep changing: the goal is to be the one they keep.
