    I’d agree with this. When I first started using Excel in school and university, I’d follow the instructions and not really know why I was doing what I was doing.

    But then, having to work with Excel at work and make it do new shit, the penny dropped in my head and I understood how spreadsheets worked.

    I use spreadsheets for heaps of things now, even if I don’t need to use formulas. Excel has some weird idiosyncrasies but it’s a good product overall. It’s not as bad as Word, which most people use incorrectly.






  • This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

    Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

    I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

    Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.
