This week we're joined by Max Haining to celebrate FIVE YEARS of 100 School! 🎉

Max takes us back to his startup days when he couldn't build anything without developers (sound familiar?), and how that frustration sparked a movement that's helped thousands learn no-code skills.

We dig into how the landscape has exploded from basic no-code tools to today's AI "vibe coding" revolution, debate whether AI will make traditional SaaS obsolete, and unpack what skills really matter when literally anyone can build an app.

Perfect for product folks, founders, or anyone curious about creating in the AI era.

Max drops knowledge on which tools are hot right now and where this wild ride might take us next!

In this episode, James and Kieran dive into the evolving landscape of AI-powered code generation and how it impacts the future of no-code tools.

They discuss their hands-on experiences with the latest AI models, explore the capabilities of different agent platforms, and share insights on upcoming conference events.

[00:40] The rise of AI code generators and Kieran's newsletter on their limitations[06:42] Why no-code tools remain relevant despite AI advancements[10:41] Recent improvements in AI models (Grok 3 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet)[19:16] Bubble's AI editor vs NoCodeFusion and competitive innovation[21:40] The power of combining no-code platforms with AI-generated code[24:40] Deep dive into different agent platforms (Zapier, N8N, Cloudflare)[31:40] Create With conference updates and AI-focused sessions

No-code tools aren't going anywhere! Despite the hype around AI coding assistants, visual development platforms still offer unmatched reliability and understandability for non-technical users. The future lies in combining these approaches rather than replacing one with the other.
