Apple's innovation, the last few years:

Not sure what involves more steps: Cancelling your @intercom subscriptions or opening a company in Germany.

Low Code was the answer to a problem that no longer exists.

Softr, Bubble, Flutterflow were built when writing code was expensive and slow. An MVP took months. Trading flexibility for speed made sense.

That context is gone.

Most internal business apps are technically simple. CRUD, a few integrations, a UI. Exactly what AI tools do well.

Low Code was a good bridge. The gap it was bridging is closing.

What's left for Low Code:

- Flexibility: lower than code + AI
- Vendor lock-in: near total on Softr/Bubble
- Maintainability: barely an issue with AI assistants
- Speed: AI + code often beats the Low Code editor

8/ The ones who adapt will look unreasonably productive. The rest will spend two years in comment sections while other people ship circles around them.

Your move.

1/ Every AI post has the same dev comments:
"It hallucinated this API"
"Try it on a real codebase"
"Insecure output"

All true. All missing the point. Two things going on, and the second is the bigger story.

7/ Slope problem and workflow problem, same root: cultural adaptation.

A tiny fraction is using AI close to its potential. The rest are going to have a big problem, and soon. Not because the tech failed them, but because they refused to learn how to use it.

6/ Disney has been running this for 70 years. If your pricing is a single number, you're leaving money on the table on purpose.

1/ Just back from 2 days at Disneyland Paris with the family. Trip was incredible. Also paid for a lot of things I didn't know existed when we walked in. Disney is a pricing masterclass.

5/ Most products have one price. One tier. No anchor. No impulse upsell. No premium escalator for the people who want to pay 3x.
