At this point in my Salesforce career, I don’t just build solutions—I design systems. And the systems that age well all have one thing in common: modularity.
Whether it’s Flows, Apex classes, or Lightning Components, I follow a core principle:
Build once, use often.
How that plays out:
I extract common logic into Subflows and Apex utility methods
I create template components that can adapt via attributes or Custom Metadata
I organize automation into logical layers: trigger → logic → action
Modularity reduces duplication, accelerates delivery, and future-proofs the org. And when changes happen (they always do), I’m not digging through five variations of the same logic—I’m updating one core component that serves the entire process.
If you’re solving the same problem more than once, your system needs refactoring.
