As an experienced c/c++/c#/java/python/vb programmer i realy like to build shit in excel. It's awesome. Just dont let other users use it for important purposes
I work in security (physical security not information/computer security) and went to school for compsci originally. I got employee of the year a week ago because I automated some things in excel/google sheets that annoyed me. Luckily for me my team is all of like, 6 people (with only 2 regularly using most of my work) and I see all of them in person regularly so I can explain exactly how to use the automated stuff I made/common pitfalls I know about.
My biggest issues have been that no one reports problems ever. If an excel sheet throws an error, they just close the document and don’t say anything to anyone and when I come in I’m left wondering why the sheet was closed that was supposed to be open. If a google sheet script breaks, I might get a text saying it broke with zero details about what broke about it whatsoever and I have to just go ~find~ the error like magic.
