First up thanks for this thoughtful and considered substack. I first started following you because of Softr and you were part of the reason I started building.
I’m trying to grow my business building systems for businesses who struggle with tech in New Zealand and I’ve just started exploring Ai coding in the last week and it’s been HUGE. I feel empowered to create so much more for clients than ever before.
This does lead me to a degree of anxiety though. I’ve become skilled at translating client needs and organising and executing solutions using Airtable and softr. But i see your point on how ai will transform the landscape into a service that builds anything you might desire.
Maybe the ai landscape is changing too quickly and being loyal to a software platform is a fool’s game. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I do believe that the market is changing so quick, and today, there is a great tool for each problem. We used to throw one tool at every solution, but that is no longer the best option.
You have a good stack already, but I'd encourage you to keep learning, and equipping yourself with latest AI tools that could help your clients.
You're not only their service provider, but also their technical partner. This means that YOU also need to advise them on the best tech to use, and that means you need to be experimenting yourself with it!
Thanks JJ - for your advice and also for opening my eyes to the opportunity - I realise now using Ai for small fixes is only the beginning! I think what you’re doing is the future and I’m grateful you’ll be sharing it. You’ve been a great teacher and inspiration!
Honestly happy for you, man! Great to see your growth over the years. The sky is only the starting point, keep soaring!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Love this story man, you are not alone! Best wishes for your next adventure!
Thank you my friend!!!
