It’s wild that by 2026, being a good manager of a process is actually more important than knowing how to code.

Being good with processes is still the best skill I see. No tool will fix a bad process, it'll just make a bad process cause the same problems but increase the count or severity of that problem.

Futurepedia, that was very mind-blowingly helpful, thank you. I thought n8n was a great User Interface (UI) as you can see the structure and logic. I wholehearted agree about there being two worlds forming, my version of describing this is not know how to makes the most of AI is the modern day equivalent of not knowing how to read or do math? 59 years of age, and trying to disprove you can’t teach and hold dog new tricks. My entrepreneurial mind and imagination is running wild on how I can automate things to make money, not that I need to give a retired at 46. I’m like a child and a sweet shop.

Interesting that managing a process beats knowing code. Dunback Meadow feels like that too, the win is choosing the right agent, not building from scratch.
