In Programming
I was listening to a podcast today and Brian Holt was asked to pick something that everyone should check out. Normally folks pick the new hot thing that they are excited about. Brian picked Excel.
💯great pick.
Every alternate post on my timeline is about how Excel is obsolete, AI has replaced Excel, and ChatGPT can do all the work for you.
Nonsense.
Excel is going nowhere and it is always a solid tool to know if you are working with data of any kind, and I say this as a person who generally prefers to do data analysis in Python. Plus, you can now write Python code in Excel 😉
