Somewhat tangential (more Excel related) but had to put these videos by Krazam somewhere at some point on HN. Enjoy! MAKRO | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 3/19 [link] MAKRO | XLOOKUP: META BREAKER? | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 10/19 [this video]
That makes me think of these two great parody videos from ~5 years back, of Excel using e-sport tropes, introduced but a (fictional) livestreaming competitor nicknamed Makro. "Microsoft Excel stream highlights" [link] "XLOOKUP" [this video]
A while ago I watched a couple of videos by Krazam [0][1] on competitive Excel. Thought it was just a sketch, didn't realize it was actually a thing. [0] [this video] [1] [link]
>or do they want to run a program for little kindergarteners to track how many times they poop their diapers every day? [this video] Wow, Google literally demos almost exactly that: [link]
You just have to go to Ballmercon. Or are maybe they mean everyone is abandoning excel after they failed to patch out the cheeses and tried to attract the party gamers by breaking the meta with xlookup? [this video]
