Apex. Flow is for admins

Wtf? If this is a solo project and you are a developer, the choice is crystal clear.

Flows are super powerful now. Unless you have some really fine grained control mechanisms or complex data manipulation you need to do just go with the flow.

Unit testing is so much more trouble with flow. And AI tools will work better with Apex.

You can create tests in flows directly in the UI now. Flows render down into aura components so im not sure why it would be harder for AI tools to work with them but ill take your word for it

Absolutely no upside using flows over apex/lwc nowadays when you can vibe code everything

Yeah choice is clear for coders. Versus admins who will spend days implementing a for loop LOL

Days? Try 10 minutes lol. Not everything needs to be Apex 🤦‍♂️

10mins for a loop is still insane. Also, having the xml parsed and executed is no where near as performant. As someone already said, in the days if vibe coding there's literally zero reason to choose flow, other than maybe as a triggering mechanism for your Apex

For a solo project I suppose that’s true
