Hello folks,
I created a roadmap for myself with the help of AI. It suggested Platform Developer 1 first and then following it I should get App Builder. Seemed sound at the time. I'm about to begin the journey tomorrow but this morning I was reading Salesforce Career Playbook and he mentioned the opposite...
Now... I don't want to say AI isn't perfect or anything but I would like more human feedback on this.
If you have both, what do you think?
Thank you!

I suggest starting with the Platform App Builder certification. Why? This certification provides essential knowledge about the declarative tools in Salesforce, which you can use to develop business processes efficiently. Once you’re familiar with these tools, you can move on to the Developer I certification, which focuses on creating more complex solutions that go beyond what declarative tools can achieve.
I’ve seen skilled developers create complex solutions, like writing and testing entire triggers to handle tasks after a case is created. However, many of these tasks can be accomplished in minutes using a Flow. Understanding declarative options first ensures you avoid over-engineering and choose the most efficient solution. I hope this answer helps you! Feel free to reach out to me if you need more help
