I know a lot of people hate them, it’s fashionable to hate them in the same way as It’s fashionable to say “oh I can’t do Maths” (nothing against my brothers-in-neurodiversity)
I bloody love a spreadsheet. I’ve worked on some crackers over the years. They’re more art than science… The presentation… The innovation… Learning a new function is like learning a new technique… They’re never finished or perfect, you just have to stop making them one day and share them with the world.
I will die on this hill. Spreadsheets are art.
Edit : is this supposed to be an unpopular opinion generally or amongst the nerds of Lemmy? 😁


I might be living in a bubble but this is not an unpopular opinion in my circles.
Me and one of my parents are spreadsheet geeks, and while our loved ones don’t partake in the creation themselves they don’t hate them either.
