What does /g/ think about spreadsheets?

I don't.

They're a waste of time. Only wage slaves would use them

I have excel on the work computer, so I use that with a mixture of R.

EVE Online is alri.

You'd be fucking surprised. In non CS related engineering fields people are often forced to (mis)use gigantic spreadsheets so VIP baby boomers could understand them.

Spreadsheets are powerful.

I can attest to this. I used to work for an engineering firm that did some groundwater analysis. The monitoring equipment used pressure transducers to measure water columns above the device and wrote a value to a csv every 10 minutes over a very long period of time. I wrote some analysis and graphing tools in python, but was reprimanded and told to use excel in the future.

At my work we have several many thousand cell spreadsheets that are supposed to keep track of constantly rotating inventory.

It is the most convoluted, soul-destroying shit I have ever witnessed. There's a lot of tension because the new people (myself included) constantly fuck shit up because it is so dense.

oh, believe it or not, they have "fluffers" for this.

>>55231627
inventory is soul-destroying in general

Just use csvs and R. Don't fuck around opening Excel.
