When AI coding gets going properly, someone experienced in Bubble will have a lot of knowledge of building products and solving problems with technology that are very transferrable.

Bubble is a really good tool to learn on, because it has core features and when you learn them, you can say “I can reliably build and deploy a web app end to end” as well as say “I can coordinate the design, development, deployment and testing of a digital product”. So you will definitely take THAT with you.

And once AI gets going more broadly, a lot of things will look really different in the world. Bubble isn’t at threat from vibe coding tools - Bubble is at threat when our whole understanding of web and mobile applications becomes irrelevant. That’s what the Googles etc are trying to change.

Bubble will always be at the very least slightly more relevant than AI no-code builders, mainly because you can actually understand what you’re doing. Loveable and co. just help you stab in the dark.

You’re building something, but it could possibly be incredibly inefficient, a huge security risk and God forbid you try to make changes in the future without rewriting everything – you don’t even know what you’re rewriting or what to rewrite.

At some point, some manual human intervention is necessary for serious sustainability or scalability of any kind.

@fede.bubble wanna merge these threads as they’re basically the same?

since this just got revived from back in April, we’ll keep them separate. It’s also a nice way to track how many months ago someone said we were 3 months away from AI making XYZ irrelevant

Bro if I’m still building my business in bubble in 50 years… something has gone horribly wrong :joy:
No offense to Bubble (ily)

I hope i can continue to rely on building production apps in Bubble for the next 50 years! I honestly really enjoy the experience.

I’m confident to build with code now but it just doesn’t feel as satisfying as building in Bubble.

Guys are we being serious here. 50 years?

If you can’t imagine a world where AI and computing is so advanced that we would see Bubble as primitive in 50 years — I don’t know what else to say

It wasn’t literal :laughing:

Yes, in 50 years most of us probably won’t care what’s going on in the app world :laughing:

These days, it’s getting easier and easier to build an app…

but that’s only a small accomplishment in the big picture.

On the app store there are tons of apps. There’s only a very small single digit of those apps that are even remotely successful.

If I had a Bubble Agency, which I don’t forsee, I’d do like our agency does and also offer marketing. The marketing of the app can be more lucrative than the actual build of the app in a lot of cases.

There are secret tips and tricks to take an app from zero users to 10s of thousands in a very short time. Good marketing is not only helpful to your clients, but keeps them as clients for years.

We don’t take clients that don’t have a marketing budget because they’re just building a hobby (as they say on Shark Tank).

Anyway, enjoy the rest of your day!
