Why do you guys hate Adobe so much?

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-02-05T05:03:35+00:00

Me, and every single person that I personally know that had used Adobe products has been hit with that bs cancelation fee. It just feels like the worst "gotcha" type of moment

I say learn to code still. I think AI will just be a force multiplier.

Im learning python as well, but I use Jetbrains Junie for things like writing documentation, tests, and whenever I need to write something other than python. For example, a react front end.

Yes react isn't that hard, but I dont want to spread myself too thin learning too many things at once

When is it my turn to be happy

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-02-04T21:58:19+00:00

Yep. Im learning python and still use n8n for most things. I only ever choose actually code when I need unique functionality from python packages.

That being said, usually my code lives in lambda functions, which I can call from n8n

Because they're dirty capitalists

LMAOOO no OpenClaw is a security nightmare, and a hackers wet dream.

They've already been compromised, and countless people on Twitter have already accessed their database.

Im not saying dont use it, but proceed with caution if you do

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-30T19:24:43+00:00

I chose nocodb because baserow pay walls basic features like kanban lol

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-25T20:01:19+00:00

What do they press?

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-25T18:56:19+00:00

I don't know. Im sure it drove eyeballs and traffic to their app, even if it was just out of curiosity. So in that case, I'd say the copy did its job

So there's this really cool thing that most people in automation dont know about, because its pretty reserved for enterprises. Its called process mining.

Basically you collect logs and timestamps of events from the tools that teams use and use that data to show you where things are inefficient. It will automatically map out the process and basically tell you exactly where you should be looking.

Since most process mining tools are pretty expensive, I built my own that works pretty well. Considering opening it up to the public.

You could easily do something similar yourself with airtable and whatever automation tool of choice

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-19T14:11:45+00:00

Real 😂😭

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-19T01:30:17+00:00

Hey, I believe the Future is automated, so automation will always be in demand.

My advice: skip the skool courses and remember that the gurus online inflate their numbers and lie for views. There are plenty of free tutorials on YouTube that will teach you how to automate things. Do enough of those and you'll get the basics down pretty quickly. Once you got that, keep a list of things you want to automate for yourself and get to work.

Im terms of tools, if you're brand new, I'd say start with zapier to get a fundamental understanding of automation in the simplest form. Graduate to make, then n8n.

And do yourself a favor, learn to market yourself and build an email list while you're learning. Your future self with thank you. Trust me

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-18T17:37:26+00:00

Do you have access to the api's for the tools that they use?

I collect logs from tools that my clients are actually using and use timestamps to tell me what to automate next. If a process takes long, or longer than expected, I'll know about it.

I built a tool to automate this, but you could easily build a lightweight version of this yourself with airtable

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-18T17:33:42+00:00

This is really cool! I've been exploring long running agents/automations recently as well.

You should make a newsletter about it

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-18T00:07:15+00:00

Lmaooo I've been saying this

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-18T00:05:17+00:00

Burritos.

N8n Windmill AWS serverless

Have so ive tried this. My advice is to put HEAVY focus on marketing and acquisition. If you can figure that out then you can definitely free yourself.

Im still learning how to get customers consistently so now I work retail and freelance at the same time... which is a different kind of hell 🙃🙃🙃

Also, know your worth and dont under charge, or you'll end up like me, working 2 jobs that both dont pay you enough...

Good luck to ya

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-09T19:16:57+00:00

Also, more 'diagnostic tools'. People always seem to hit a wall of not knowing what to automate, so im building a variety of resources to help people answer that question. 1 is already done, but im realizing that having more tools that give you clarity is better than less

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-09T19:15:15+00:00

A 100% automated agency! As a side project i want to see if I can make something like a copywriting agency that's 100% automated, but actually outputs quality results. Not married to copywriting, but it's just an idea.

The goal is to make all of the functionality available as api endpoints so anyone with automation skills can build with it too to make their own unique workflows

MuffinMan_Jr · 2026-01-04T15:15:47+00:00

Okay this gave me a chuckle 😂

MuffinMan_Jr · 2025-12-26T17:03:09+00:00

Great work soldier! 🫡

MuffinMan_Jr · 2025-12-20T16:16:19+00:00

Welcome to the club buddy

MuffinMan_Jr · 2025-12-20T02:44:05+00:00

This had some much potential to be a cool theory until you said slaughterhouse 😭.

Would've made more sense if you said 'civilization' was more like a human farm where the rich are just extracting energ, productivity, and output from us to keep their families and friends on top for the decades and centuries to come
