Both of those comics assume you are automating your own manual task. It gets even more tenuous when you are fielding stakeholder requests to automate _their_ manual tasks, when developers cost substantially more than the entry level folks that end up being assigned these manual tasks, and you don't know how long the business process that requires this manual task will even persist in its current form. That's where the opportunity may lie with no-code type platforms, to empower other departments to automate and maintain their own idiosyncratic workflows.
