Summary

No-code has come a long way since 2014, with over 3 million users on platforms like Bubble, which have enabled life-saving organ donations and grassroots apps to help people find loved ones in disaster situations. However, the industry's growth has led to some misconceptions about what no-code can do, with many still thinking that it's just a watered-down version of traditional coding. The author argues that this is not true, and that building on platforms like Bubble requires a deep understanding of programming principles, which should be recognized as legitimate programming skills. The company plans to continue investing in Bubble to take its capabilities to the next level, with the goal of making it possible for anyone to build production-grade software without needing extensive coding knowledge or resources. Ultimately, the author believes that no-code will democratize access to technology and enable people from all backgrounds to change their lives through software.
