Okay, starting with a classic quote about time and then a relatable programmer struggle with a 'Gen Z boss' – I'm already hooked on this framing. It’s a clever way to immediately set up the problem automation solves.
Haha, the self-deprecating humor about spending 10 hours failing to automate is spot on! And the mention of Zapier costing $500 a month really highlights the need for a more accessible solution. This is definitely speaking to developers who've felt that pain.
So, n8n is the answer to that Zapier problem? An open-source, self-hostable automation tool sounds really promising, especially if it can handle all those 'boring work' tasks. I'm curious to see how they'll deploy it.
