I doubt you're the only one, but that's a very narrow-minded view of the world. Do you also feel that eyeglasses, hearing aids, and other personal assistance devices are 'useless' just because you personally don't need them?

Someone who is capable of using autocode - who has the technical capability to write code - may not need something like Zapier.

On the other hand, it took me 5 minutes with Zapier to set up a fully automated system that takes a line from a spreadsheet and populates a calendar, sends a calendar invite, and sends some follow up emails for a charity thing I run. It saves me tons of time, and I never have to think about it, nor did I have to write a single line of code against an API that will change shortly for I forget how all of my code works.

I think if you said they're useless for you nobody would've batted an eye, but I think saying they're useless in general is just wrong considering how many users they have.


It's allowed, but kinda useless right? "I like cows". Okay. I can't do anything with this information.


It's not even phrased like an opinion. It's "All cows are useless except one."
