Exactly. Precisely. Definitely. I see what you describe all the time , because I do review the code the models do produce. It's not just incredibly verbose: it's constantly missing that there's an obvious, elegant, small, wa

I've been tasked to rewrite a spreadsheet as a dedicated app. Most of what is in TFA is correct but it only begins to describe the problem. My takeaway is very simple: the world runs on broken spreadsheets that are full of bugs and wro
