Excel: The Ultimate Legacy Code

1 day ago 188.0K views 0 shares

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 modern tech resume arms race in its final form. Throwing every framework, library, and buzzword into your LinkedIn profile hoping recruiters won't notice that half of them are Pokémon names mixed in with actual tech. "Yes, I have 5 years of Vulpix experience and I'm certified in advanced Purrrr architecture." The sad part? Most recruiters wouldn't even catch it. They're too busy searching for unicorns with 10 years experience in 3-year-old technologies.

The Excel Enlightenment Paradox

15 days ago 152.7K views 0 shares

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.

Job Site In Progress: The Web Development Food Chain

The perfect visualization of web development hierarchy. The back-end is just a bunch of folks cooking up solutions in giant cauldrons over open flames, probably muttering incantations about database optimization. Meanwhile, the front-end is this polished restaurant where everything looks pristine and organized. And then there's the APIs – fancy waitstaff in bow ties who just transfer stuff between the chaos in the kitchen and the elegant dining room, judging everyone silently while doing absolutely nothing to improve the actual food. Classic software architecture in its natural habitat.

The Programmer Compass

The tech world's political compass has arrived! It perfectly maps the eternal developer civil war across two axes: Freedom vs. Proprietary and Tradition vs. Disruption. Top-left quadrant (Libredev): Home to the free software purists with their GNU/Linux laptops, Emacs, and C language. The kind of developers who write 5000-word emails about why you should call it "GNU plus Linux" instead of just "Linux." Top-right quadrant (Cogdev): Corporate warriors wielding C#, Visual Studio, and Windows. These folks genuinely believe Microsoft's "embrace, extend, extinguish" was just a phase, like their teenage goth years. Bottom-right quadrant (Sovdev): The Apple ecosystem disciples and JavaScript framework hoppers. They'll pay $3000 for a laptop with 8GB RAM and then tell you it's "optimized." Their GitHub profile is their entire personality. Bottom-left quadrant (Hypedev): The bleeding-edge rebels running experimental tech stacks that will probably be abandoned next Tuesday. They've rewritten their personal website in 17 different frameworks this year alone. Which quadrant are you in? Don't answer—your choice of text editor already told me everything I need to know.

Gotta List 'Em All: The LinkedIn Pokédex

The ultimate tech resume flex: listing every framework, library, and tool you've ever glanced at for 0.5 seconds. "Purr" and "ditto" sitting there among TensorFlow and Kubernetes is peak resume padding genius. The real interview starts when you ask recruiters to identify which tech stack items are actually Pokémon names. Spoiler: at least three are. And honestly, with the way new JavaScript libraries pop up daily, who could even tell the difference anymore? Bonus points if you can spot "hadoop" listed twice. Resume padding so aggressive it needed backup.

They Read The Friggin Manuals

Programming Webdev React Kubernetes Docker

Ah, the classic "read everything but build nothing" syndrome! This poor soul has gone down the documentation rabbit hole, consuming every tech manual from Java to Kubernetes without writing a single line of actual code. It's like studying the theory of swimming for years without ever getting wet. The tech stack resume is impressive enough to land a senior position, but ask them to print "Hello World" and suddenly they're experiencing an existential crisis. Reading documentation is like watching cooking shows - it doesn't make you a chef until you burn something in the kitchen a few times.

Which DB Powers Your Stack

Databases Webdev Devops Programming Backend

Ah, the eternal database dilemma! The colored figures represent different database options trying to lure our poor developer (white figure) with their flashy features and dollar signs. MongoDB (purple) flashing its JSON documents, Oracle (brown) flaunting its enterprise price tag, and Neo4j (green) showing off its graph relationships. But then... along comes SQLite (yellow) with its elephant-sized PostgreSQL compatibility and simple file-based structure. Our developer instantly falls in love with the database that doesn't require a second mortgage or a PhD to operate. It's like dating apps but for databases—swipe left on complexity, swipe right on "just works."

Pick Your Programmer Class

It's the RPG character selection screen nobody asked for but everyone secretly relates to! Choose your programmer archetype: Top left: The Corporate Legacy Warrior - Internet Explorer, Windows Server 2003, and .NET. You've got job security until those legacy systems finally die (which might be never). Top right: The Privacy Paladin - C programming, GNU/Linux, ThinkPads, and Tor. You probably have a Richard Stallman shrine and whisper "proprietary software is theft" in your sleep. Bottom left: The Hipster Bard - HTML5, JS, Apple, Electron, and of course, the mandatory Starbucks coffee. Your apps are bloated but your Instagram is fire. Bottom right: The Hardcore Wizard - Arch Linux, Monster Energy, mechanical keyboards, and 300 commits per day. You've been coding since 12 and think sleep is optional. The real question isn't which class you are, but which one you'll admit to being in public.

Independently Learned Software Developer

Self-taught developers be like: "Yeah, I know a bit of everything." *proceeds to balance precariously on whatever tech stack the job requires* That's the beauty of learning without structure—you end up with these bizarre skills that somehow work together just enough to keep you from falling flat on your face. One day you're balancing on React, the next on Stack Overflow solutions you don't fully understand, but hey—the app works!

What Kind Of User Are You?

Linux Networking Security Vim Bash

The tech evolution iceberg is the perfect personality test for developers. Started with Windows and macOS? Basic normie. Running Linux/Windows dual boot with Firefox? Congrats, you've achieved tech bro status. But the real fun starts when you hit the nerd level with Vim and full disk encryption. The basement dwellers are running custom kernels and using IRC like it's still 2005. "What messaging app do you use?" "Oh, just /bin/dash, you wouldn't understand." Then there's the glowie tier with encrypted GRUB and air-gapped machines. These folks compile their own compilers because they don't trust the ones that compiled the compilers. And finally, the ascended beings who've transcended physical hardware entirely. They probably run consciousness.sh directly on the universe's quantum fabric. The rest of us are just trying to remember our WiFi password.

New Repos, High Hopes, Every Time

Ah yes, the grand delusion of personal significance. On the left, we have the magnificent tower of "ALL MODERN DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE" – an imposing, complex structure representing the collective achievement of thousands of developers. And then there's "Your GitHub" – a single, pathetic vertical line that couldn't support a digital hamster wheel. The perfect visualization of that moment when you realize your "revolutionary" side project is just another sad little toothpick in the vast landscape of actual engineering. Yet somehow we all wake up Monday morning convinced this repo will be different. Nothing quite captures the developer experience like the cognitive dissonance between what we think we're building and the digital equivalent of a stick figure drawing we actually produce.
