There is a competition between RPA and automation by Python ongoing in my workplace. We are low on devs and high on buzzword-susceptible non-technical managers. The argument that it is a lot smarter to hire a few more devs that would add a lot more value to the company, especially given that we have already made significant inroads in 'proper' automation, than pay for a proprietary tool that is essentially an overhyped Selenium browser falls on deaf ears, since learning is hard and klickety klick is simple and easy to outsource.
So it goes. |

The RPA abstraction just seem so fragile and unflexible. I _had_ to build “rpa” like solutions to problems in the late 90s using tools like scriptit, and later vbscript. Crap software have no APIs...
I guess, it’s the same type of companies, still with the same type of software.
