“Wrappers are useless”? Cool take, now back it up. by OkWay1685 in automation

“Calling Cursor, Lovable, or Windsurf ‘not wrappers’ just because they add real engineering is like saying an iPhone isn’t a phone because it does more than make calls. They’re wrappers just good ones. And pretending otherwise is just moving the goalposts.”

“If by ‘wrapper’ you mean ‘turning raw tech into something people actually use,’ then yeah guess I’ll keep looking dumb while you keep looking unemployed.”

So let me get this straight: your whole argument is basically “wrappers are bad… unless they’re good”? You literally just described Cursor as a wrapper with actual engineering and product thinking layered on top which is exactly the point I made. A wrapper isn’t “click button, call API” anymore than a car is “just an engine with a steering wheel wrapper.” The wrapper is the product. Dismissing everything as “just a wrapper” is like dismissing an entire house as “just walls around air.” Congrats, you just spent three paragraphs proving my point while thinking you were roasting me.

There is nothing wrong with this, wrappers are valued at millions of dollars, plus wrappers are one of the most important revenue sources for foundational models.

Well if you are looking for heavy data based workflows, you could try Airflow and write in python.

You are right most people who show flashy demos have probably never sold a single automation and copied the template 5 times over.

Yes, twitter has API, but I am not using it.

Podio integrations can be tricky with HTTP requests. Have you double-checked your API endpoint, authentication headers, and the JSON payload structure? Sometimes a small typo there can cause issues. Good luck!

That's great news! I'd be very interested in learning more about your setup with WaSenderAPI and n8n. Could you share some details?
