Boris Cherny, the guy who built Claude Code at Anthropic, put out a framework a few weeks ago that's been quietly making the rounds. Five roles for how work gets done once AI agents start doing the execution: the Prototyper, the Builder, the Sweeper, the Grower, the Maintainer.
Most people read it as interesting AI commentary. Then Salesforce hosted an entire webinar built around almost the exact same structure, Deciders, Evangelizers, Orchestrators, Risk owners, the people who sit around the agents instead of inside the work.
That's not a coincidence. That's the ecosystem telling you, in real time, what your job is turning into.
Here's the part everyone's missing
Your title isn't going anywhere. "Salesforce Admin" isn't disappearing from job boards next quarter. What's disappearing is the luxury of only doing one thing.
Right now, without a title for it, most admins are already switching between two or three of these roles in a single week. You prototype a flow idea. You build it out. Later you go back and clean up what's live because it's gotten messy. Nobody calls this "wearing five hats" anymore. It's just Tuesday.
The ecosystem isn't going to reward people for knowing the platform anymore. Everyone knows the platform. It's going to reward the people who can read the moment fast enough to know which of these roles it's actually asking for, and become that person before someone else quietly does.
Why this is harder than it sounds
If you actually wanted to figure out where you stand in all this, here's what your Saturday afternoon looks like: fifteen LinkedIn hot takes, three conflicting YouTube explainers, a Salesforce blog post using different terminology than the last one, and a Reddit thread where nobody agrees on anything. By the time you've pieced it together, the ecosystem's already moved to the next thing.
That's not an information problem. There's more information than ever. It's a filtering problem. Nobody's actually sitting down and saying "here's what this specific announcement means for you, this week, doing your actual job", most of what's out there is either too broad (industry news) or too shallow (a hot take with no follow-through).
I've watched a few free communities try to solve this the obvious way, just open a room, post links, hope people show up. Almost none of them stay alive past the first month. Not because the idea is wrong, but because nobody's actually running it like it matters.
What I'm doing about it
I'm opening a small community for admins who want this filtered for them instead of doing it themselves. Not another course. Not a place to dump links. A weekly rhythm: one live session where we actually work through what's happening and what it means for you, and one newsletter that recaps it so you're never behind even if you missed the week.
The first group of people who join are founding members. That means a few things: it's free while we build this out together, you get direct input into what this becomes, and you keep whatever pricing exists later, permanently, as a thank you for being early.
If you're an admin who's tired of feeling like the ecosystem's moving faster than you can track, this is for you.
Details on joining are coming in the next few days. Stay busy.
