I am a software developer so take my perspective with a grain of salt.

I do most things through code but TM has been great for clicking buttons on websites and grabbing data in a repeated way

One quick example is how I made an interest rate watcher to watch mortgage rates on big bank websites. I once went from 1.67% to 5% during the last few years of interest rate hikes so i'm never making that mistake again and TM has been helpful to achieve that

I use N8n to integrate things since I have unlimited usage with my self hosted version
