I tried to read that out loud and summoned something. Please help me, I’m scared.

I thought this was a simple piece of software?
Pinhead: No. It is a means by which to summon us.

Give in. Let it take you.
Everything is okay. Shhhhhhh.

Further up the thread, someone mentioned that writing good software is about communicating concepts to people, first and foremost.
This, code obfuscation, is what it looks like to communicate exclusively to the compiler instead.

Excel has entered the chat

For real though, I have written some truly monstrous operations in Excel.
What do you mean you want to use Excel to manage everyone’s calendars? And now you want to export that horribly built calendar management spreadsheet to Google Calendar? What do you mean you want the Google Calendar entries automatically formatted based on who is working on a particular day? I mean yes it’s possible but you’d need a string of arguments just to check for who is working and then append the formatting entry to the csv as needed.

VBA has made things so, so much easier since I started learning how to use it.
