"If you're following me or decide to check out my profile after reading this, you'll notice something funny - there's exactly one post, and that too from 3 years ago. No, I wasn't dead, just alive and swimming hard in the AI race :). Things have gone too far - we all turned 3 more years older, but the world seems to have advanced 30 years ahead according to experts, I guess. ChatGPT became part and parcel of everything, everyone started chanting AI..AI..AI."
"After absorbing hours of content, I decided to get my hands dirty. My first project was deliberately simple - fetch weather data from WeatherAPI and push it to Google Sheets. Nothing fancy, nothing complex. Just a straightforward workflow to understand how nodes connect and data flows through the system. That simple workflow taught me everything I needed to stick on to this philosophy: think in blocks, connect them like Lego pieces, and watch the magic happen."
n8n was discovered without prior knowledge and explored as a tool for automating repetitive tasks and improving productivity. Community resources such as YouTube videos, blog posts, Reddit threads, and forums served as primary learning channels. An initial workflow fetched WeatherAPI data and pushed results to Google Sheets, illustrating node connections and data flow. The practical approach emphasized modular thinking: construct workflows like Lego blocks. Continued experimentation led to deeper familiarity and inspired the creation of tools for the wider n8n community. The experience reinforced a philosophy of starting small, learning iteratively, and leveraging community support to build useful automations.
