The Bell Curve Of Document Parsing Hell

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal struggle of every data scientist who's ever been handed a Word document and told to "just extract the data" from it! 💀 The bell curve of intelligence is BRUTALLY accurate here. The average schmucks (34% on each side) are blissfully declaring "Word files can't be read by a machine" while the absolute geniuses at both extremes (0.1%!) know the dark arts of table parsing. Meanwhile, every data engineer is in the corner having a nervous breakdown because Karen from marketing just sent over CRITICAL BUSINESS DATA as a beautifully formatted Word table with merged cells. THE HORROR!

The Modern Developer's Dilemma

Ah, the classic "asking AI to do your actual job" maneuver! This tweet perfectly showcases the modern developer's workflow: 1) Hear about LLMs 2) Immediately try to outsource your data parsing tasks that you're probably paid six figures to handle. The irony is that parsing documents between formats is literally what programming languages have been doing for decades. It's like asking "Is there a car specifically designed for driving?" while sitting in a Ferrari. Pro tip: Yes, there are LLMs for this. They're called "learning regex" and "using libraries that already exist." Revolutionary concept!
