Surprising how much you can do with low code tools if you know JavaScript. There may be built in modules or nodes, but often times longer runtime and more execution costs. Just learning .filter and .map is totally worth.

When it gets good at coding, testing, and iterating, weโ€™re effed ๐Ÿ˜†

One of the best lessons I got when I started into AI automation is to concentrate on solutions, not tools. Is n8n the best? Make? Zapier, RelevanceAI, CrewAI, PydanticAI? Depends on the task. In the beginning, just concentrate on GSD. Optimization can come later.

Dove into merges and more of the built in multi-routing in n8n today for some data syncs between systems. Seeing more and more advantages for n8n. Being able to merge 2 paths from a router in make would have been so handy! ๐Ÿค“

Awesome. No worries. It works ๐Ÿ˜† Gratitude for the reply!

In n8n, is there a way to feed a โ€œsplit outโ€ node an input other than the previous node? I used a set node to get around it, but would be nice to clean it up.

I donโ€™t understand how his base keeps buying into his grifts then complaining about the price of eggs. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me a thousand times? ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

In the deep South, automation is still a challenging sale to SMBs. AI automation is even more so. What I've seen work better than a sales pitch is a to demo a working POC of the problem you want to solve in their business. Leave out the tech talk, concentrate on results. More reason to productize!

My automation deep dive took some turns, but I think it's finally normalizing. Started with make.com but cringed at it not being able to be as modular and reusable as I'd like. Went to relevance.ai, but $599/mo sucks for hierarchical agents. Went to crewai, but not every step needs an LLM. Now, n8n.

Making an even remotely engaging reel for a company when all youโ€™re given are a few pictures is.. oof. Building an ffmpeg api, site scraper automation, and getting lost in canva animations was a fun though! ๐Ÿ˜† Ty YT.

Reform is great. Ripping out protections for preexisting conditions in dismantling the ACA, not so great. What did we learn from 2022? Make sure protections for women are in place before ripping out rights to reproductive care, else we end up with dead moms. Hopefully ACAโ€™s future will be brighter.
