im genuinely asking myself if "this time is different".
The merging of Cloud + Software consumerism of 15 (ish) years of mobile + software eats world can make the Bubbles, Airtable and other no/low code tools the next long tail revolution of software ?
What is different from the front page + Dreamweaver + flash days ?
My hint : cloud computing and the hosting of database AND logic in bigcorp maintained garden
- ilaksh 6y agoI'm not sure what your point is. When you say "bubbles" and "software eats the world" I think you are saying that these tools were supposed to replace programming, but so far they haven't. In fact I think that people who make that claim are wrong. Low code development tools have become hysterically successful, especially in recent years. WordPress (400+ million websites) has 50000+ plugins that can do almost anything. Look at Salesforce (17 billion revenue) and PeopleSoft. Airtable (1.1 billion valuation). Shopify is approaching 1 million sites. Wix has $600 million in revenue. There are a lot of other massively successful products that fit into the loose association you gave.
