The bell curve of software development wisdom strikes again! The middle 68% of developers are frantically learning 20+ programming languages and frameworks, convinced they need to build custom apps for everything. Meanwhile, the geniuses at both extremes of the IQ spectrum share the same profound insight: "Just use Excel." After 15 years in the industry, I've watched countless teams spend months building complex systems that could've been a spreadsheet with some macros. The real 10x developer isn't the one who knows Rust, Go, and TypeScript—it's the one who realizes your "revolutionary inventory management system" is just a glorified table with math.

The bell curve of intelligence strikes again! On both ends of the IQ spectrum (the 0.1% geniuses), we have pragmatic folks who simply use Excel to solve business problems. Meanwhile, the average developer (the 68% in the middle) is frantically panicking about building custom applications with a bazillion programming languages and frameworks. It's the classic "overthinking tech solutions" syndrome. The truly brilliant minds understand that sometimes the best tool is the one Karen from accounting already knows how to use. Why spend 6 months developing a custom app when a spreadsheet with some macros will do the trick? The irony is delicious - developers surrounded by JS, Python, Java, and dozens of frameworks, yet Excel has been quietly solving business problems since 1985. Sometimes the real 200 IQ move is knowing when not to code.
