I Asked AI to Rebuild My App (Firebase → Laravel)
I decided to run a small experiment with AI coding tools.
My Goal Planner app was originally built using:
• Firebase (authentication + database)
• Vue.js frontend
But when I wanted to add push notifications, Firebase required upgrading to a paid tier.
Instead of paying, I asked AI to migrate the project.
In just a few prompts the AI:
• moved the project to a new structure
• created a Laravel backend
• separated frontend and backend
• replaced Firebase API calls
The result?
About 80% of the migration was done automatically.
But it wasn't perfect.
In this video I talk about:
• what worked
• what AI got wrong
• what still needs to be configured
• and why modern developers need to understand the entire stack.
Because today being a developer is not just about writing code anymore.
It's about understanding:
frontend, backend, deployment, infrastructure — and now AI.
Also sharing some thoughts about learning new technologies like push notifications and why experimentation is still one of the best ways to grow as a developer.
If you're building apps or experimenting with AI coding tools, this might be interesting for you.

Are you already using AI tools in your coding workflow?
