on HN thread Microsoft announces Lists, a new Airtable-like app

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 [this video] MAKRO | XLOOKUP: META BREAKER? | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights 10/19 [link]

on HN thread The Tyranny of Spreadsheets

But the spreadsheet abstraction really works like a charm, it gives the flexibility and the power to do a lot. On a humorous side note ... competitive excel [this video]

on HN thread I cannot begin to tell you how proficient I am in Microsoft Word

> Excel’s boundless rectangles yield themselves to my whim as I sort columns and freeze rows like a rational demigod. I wonder if the author is a "top sheethead," (part of the pro excel scene)? The article doesn't offer an opinion on the controversial Chinese localization fix of 2019[1] for example. [1] [this video]

Yes, but when are they fixing the regression in character spacing when mixing unicode and non-unicode? [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] [link] [1] [this video]

on HN thread You Suck at Excel with Joel Spolsky [video]

The way I keep my Excel skills up to scratch is by staying updated with the Pro Excel scene. One method I employ is watching Krazam as he goes through the release notes. You can find his videos at: [this video]

on HN thread The Microsoft Excel superstars throw down in Vegas

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" [this video] "XLOOKUP" [link]

on HN thread Ireland’s Diarmuid Early wins world Microsoft Excel title

I had no idea this was real. Fascinating. I'm curious: anyone plugged into the scene know if it's organic or if it was created as a marketing thing by Microsoft? Obligatory Krazam sketch: [this video]
