Is Automation a Dying Skill? This Guy Makes $400K/Month and Says YES 👀

Came across this video from the founder of Leftclick (an automation agency doing $400K/month) Nick saraev and he's making some pretty bold claims that I think this community needs to discuss.

His main argument:

Technical automation skills like n8n, Make.com, and APIs are becoming worthless because AI is getting good enough to build entire workflows from plain English. Just like how the industrial revolution killed hand stitching, AI is killing the "hands on" automation work we've all been learning.

His timeline:

12 months: 50%+ of workflows built via natural language
24 months: Complete business systems generated from plain English prompts

What he says to do instead:

Stop memorizing tools and APIs
Start understanding how businesses actually work
Learn to communicate business requirements to AI clearly and precisely
Think in systems, not tools

The question I want to ask this community:

Is he right? Are we wasting time going deep on tools like n8n and Make when we should be focusing on business thinking and prompting skills instead?

Drop your thoughts below 👇 Would love to hear from people actually in the trenches building stuff right now.https://youtu.be/YIl-awY250k?si=5BKw07Ym_veYfFu4
