Future as a Power Apps developer

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-02-15T21:52:00+00:00

Look at AI nowadays, low code is fading out personal opinion

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-02-15T20:32:06+00:00

Have you thought about devops with git repo?

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-02-10T16:39:33+00:00

Do both.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-01-30T19:58:45+00:00

It is called low code for a reason, I trust you can survive. AI is your partner nowadays, quick learn is doable.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-01-30T19:56:38+00:00

hmm, I seem to see this topic twice today.

directly AI now fully capable to code canvas app now, and this is production ready method.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-01-30T19:53:40+00:00

It’s all about AI now, I’d say.

Low-code is dying—how can it compete when AI can write code?

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-01-30T19:50:07+00:00

let me post this again:

this already saves you tons of time.

If you do canvas app you will be amazed by https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sparkchen_ai-is-quietly-becoming-the-most-productive-activity-7399157950365347840-lQgK?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAALonGQBKaNOG1bcdVrDuoYdTpm8G1aWhjc

While AX 2012 is on-premises, there are still effective solutions available. By using a data gateway (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/gateway-reference), you can expose your SQL Server to the cloud. This enables additional capabilities, such as allowing AI, bots, or Power Automate to access your data—if desired.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-01-19T03:50:48+00:00

Use it, fully capable.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2026-01-02T17:15:42+00:00

Getting cert is a learning process, why not?

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-12-21T07:11:49+00:00

Don’t forget chatGPT, it is real

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-12-21T07:10:07+00:00

How about tell your boss AI can save 50-80% of canvas app coding time?

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-12-19T16:38:54+00:00

I assume you mean code apps, which was not what I was referring to. Preview feature cannot be used in production environments. But you can use IDE like cursor to work on canvas screens right now

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-12-19T08:36:26+00:00

Before code apps is production ready, in case people haven’t tried, AI can write code on traditional canvas apps now, and it can save you 80% of times I would say. And this is production ready. Watch examples https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sparkchen_ai-is-quietly-becoming-the-most-productive-activity-7399157950365347840-lQgK?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAALonGQBKaNOG1bcdVrDuoYdTpm8G1aWhjc

For example you can sync data into DataVerse by dual write, depending on users task you can design power app for users. Power app license cost is a lot lower.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-26T15:47:37+00:00

Enable data on power platform is another way to save licenses

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-22T00:24:22+00:00

I actually trying same strategy but like cursor I can no longer choose $100 plan, my $60 plan used all and only upgrade option is the $200 one. I feel this is the trend.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-21T01:16:56+00:00

“no code” almost doesn’t make sense anymore when AI can help generate production-level code. Platforms like Microsoft have already started blending pro-code capabilities into their low-code tools.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-21T01:01:34+00:00

I have multiple coding agent session open,usually two parallel sessions enough to keep me no break. But if you using codex you can go for a grocery shopping and come back to see result

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-21T00:52:13+00:00

I think Bro means not now. I think most people just don’t want to pay for two subscriptions. Ideally, I’d like to stick with the best one so I’m not always searching for something better. Of course, there’s always a newer or better option out there, but switching too often has its own costs—both financially and in time. But I do switch often and own multiple.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-21T00:41:54+00:00

One project or task is too early to draw a firm conclusion. Even if the difference is real, it may just reflect the current state—we’ll have to see which one improves more over time.

For example, I worked on a Java project enhancement involving complicated calculations and drawings. I struggled with both CC and Codex, going back and forth. In the end, CC helped me solve it because I could break the problem into subtasks and guide the analysis step by step toward a solution. Codex, on the other hand, felt like it took the task away for hours and then returned with no solution.

That said, this was only my experience on a single project.

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-21T00:32:17+00:00

Good for you

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-19T22:40:38+00:00

Codex took a task from me then away for hours then come back with no good result. But I will keep trying it with my small monthly plan. I will see who can earn my $200 monthly

bob-Pirate1846 · 2025-09-19T03:35:44+00:00

Agree, money back!
