Professionals do seem to use excel.
Holy fuck is it painful for anyone that knows what they are doing.I’ve seen at a very large company a workflow that involved manually updating an excel workbook and (I think) saving it on confluence, so a python script could download it and parse it later. It wasn’t even doing formulas. It was just like less than a hundred lines of text in a half dozen sheets.
Except, it was little Bobby tables.
Last year during the Christmas shutdown at work I actually made a crud application to track naughty vs nice children for santa, yes it was sql based(entity framework) with >90%test coverage (tests based off a in memory database) and with a winforms ui(what I had to use at work).
I might revisit and refactor it this year come to think of it.
does @Santaclaus@c.im has a bluesky account?
lame bobby tables rip-off
Listen, there’s room in SQL for more than one input sanitization joke.
