Don’t learn n8n in 2026, do THIS instead

If you’re learning n8n in 2026, you might be wasting your time.

Everyone online is pushing:
• Massive n8n workflows
• 6–10 hour tutorials
• Hyper-complex automations that look impressive

But no one talks about:
• Debugging real client systems
• Broken workflows under pressure
• Missed deadlines
• Angry clients
• ROI vs “cool complexity”

I learned this the hard way.

I spent months learning n8n, saved 50+ templates, hired 6 engineers, and still couldn’t deliver a single workflow on time for a real client.

What actually saved the project?
Cloud Code + agentic workflows.

In this video, I explain:
• Why learning n8n node-by-node doesn’t compound
• Why complexity is being sold (and why it’s a trap)
• The real problem with debugging automation
• Why businesses only care about outcomes, not fancy workflows
• How Cloud Code fixed what 6 engineers couldn’t
• When n8n still makes sense (and when it doesn’t)

n8n isn’t dead — but learning it the old way is.

The future is:
• Communicating with AI
• Letting AI build + fix workflows
• Using agentic systems for leverage
• Simplicity over complexity

If you’re new to AI automation or starting an AI agency, you don’t need to master n8n anymore.

You need to learn:
• Cloud Code
• Agentic workflows
• How to talk to AI properly
