From Low-Code to AI Development There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by without a post or article stating that "Low-code is...

I don't believe #lowcode is dead, but that doesn't mean I don't think #AI is not alive. #Copilot is now key to how I build my websites, check out my latest blog to see my how I use it

Did I just invent "vibe licensing"? By doing a live recording of a video where I purchase Power Apps per app with real money, without knowing what's gonna happen?😅

That's it, I'm calling it: 2026 is the year when Microsoft licensing goes all-in on vibes.✌️ After all, could it get much worse?

Power Platform - Dealing With Tech Debt In my opinion, one of the biggest dangers to any Power Platform setup is technical debt. Technical...

All developers, no matter Low-Code, Pro-Code, or AI-Code have to deal with one big risk, Technical Debt.

Tech Debt is todays shortcut that you pay for tomorrow, and the #powerplatform is no exception, in fact it has its very own blend of tech debt.

Power Automate - Generative Actions There has been lots of talk about Power Automate being replaced with Agent flows (even though they...

Agent Flows replacing #powerautomate confuses, not just because they are just PA with diff license, but because Power Automate isn't exactly short on AI features

The general mood now is that AI will fix all problems, but will it? I still see some key (non AI) features missing from the #powerplatform.

Check out my latest blog to see why and the benefits each would bring.

There seems to be lots of conversation about how AI tools are going to replace Low-Code tools like the #PowerPlatform.

Its easy to see the logic, AI in theory achieves the same goals as Low-Code, but I think there are many barriers before that can happen, see why below:
