Holy shit, Zapier (https://zapier.com) is so powerful!
I hate it! 😅
I was just messing around with it and in 2 hours managed to implement the whole functionality of a project I had just quoted a client 20 hours for in custom Python.
It is genuinely a threat to several types of developers' jobs.

    @R0bby hahah fair enough. I'm not affiliated with them. In fact, I quite dislike their product.
    But I was quite surprised today by what it can do. I would still never use it or even recommend it. It's ludicrously expensive.

    yeah, because free options like jenkins, scripting, webhooks and many other don't do that.

    Not to mention rest and good decoupled architectures which allow the same

    @arcioneo that's exactly why I hate it. It's a proprietary service, connecting other proprietary services. You don't control or own anything. But it does the job fast and well enough so I'm afraid that people are going to start relying on it too much. Google Apps Script is similar. Works ok, until one day a ToS change puts you out of business for a month (true story).
