Will we still write code? :: Javier Durá at EngageU

Live from EngageU in Malmö, Sweden.

Javier and Matt have a tradition: They sit down at the end of every conference and compare notes. This one was three days of pretty much nothing but AI 

We talk about the agentic development tools Claris showed, and what it means to drive FileMaker from a prompt: layouts, themes from your website's CSS, scripts, documentation, data. Javier thinks we won't code anymore. I think we will, we'll just be reading it more than typing it.

Then the question he put to me: are we ready to give a brand new customer a solution where the whole interface lives in a web viewer? My answer is "sort of", and I explain where I'd draw the line (web viewer to read and look good, a FileMaker card window the moment the user does something).

Also: why a regular FileMaker layout is starting to look a little old, why we need to know more about AI than our customers do, AI hype in Spain, and CodeWave, the Spanish-language FileMaker conference Javier is putting on in Madrid, April 9 and 10, 2027. English speakers welcome.
