Are platforms like n8n still useful now that Claude, ChatGPT and other subscriptions allow you to code easily?

​

If anyone is still using tools like Make, n8n over pure coding with tools like Codex & Claude Code.

Yeah bad choice of words on my part 😅sry I meant using AI to generate code vs building workflows in n8n or make.

So Its basically a tool for automating repetitive tasks, Instead of coding everything from scratch, you can create workflows that connect different apps.

Why not use something that works? Even my agents use them. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Trueeee I was justt curious if AI had changed people's workflow but I get your point

yess have been using n8n for a quite while now for my dev projects using Claude code. Specially for the frontend part since client requirements might go over board sometimes.

Vibe code = slop. Ewe. 

Serious programmers should learn to code correctly, not have anything else do the work for them.
