For experienced automation builders: Which is actually worth using/learning: n8n or Claude Code over the next few months or years?
Over the last week or so I've found out about n8n and have started using and developing my skills in it. My goal is to hopefully start building and selling complex automations and workflows to business's. I can see that business's have not caught up yet and there is an actual market for these workflows (actually useful and complex ones not just guru "AI automations and agents" you see online).
However recently the hype has more shifted towards using Claude Code in order to build n8n workflows and now my question is: Is it still worth developing my skills in n8n over the next few months or will Claude Code make it obsolete?
I'd love to hear any experienced workflow/automation builders who are actually able to sell their skills and workflows to clients and their takes on this. Will Claude Code transform the process of building automations over the next 1,2 or 3 years? What are you using now? and instead of n8n becoming obsolete will people instead use a combination of both to build more powerful workflows.
I would really appreciate it to hear people who are actually experienced in this field and are actually making money from this instead of guru's claiming "n8n is straight up dead" online.
