... this is me with excel files for random bookkeeping shit lol. Everyone's are so ugly... but I'm making these look nice for all of like... 3 different people that use them lol. So at least when I have to do these random tasks twice a year... they look nice! Even if the old stuff worked or doing it by hand with a legal pad was sufficient... I gotta have that Excel column auto sum damn it!

I do the same thing at my work. We have to update pricing information for 100,000s of items so I made templates for our team with xlookups and if-then statements so it takes less than one second.

I still catch people doing it manually every 6 months…

The darker version is:

  1. Identify someone you don't like in the organization.
  2. Automate away their job by coding a script in a few hours.
  3. They get laid off, the script never gets run. No one notices.
