The fact that Zürich's Zoo is not called Zoorich is such a missed opportunity!

plrank.com is a programming language ranking that aggregates other rankings and VBA has been performing surprisingly well lately, slowly climbing up the top 20.

The main driving force for VBA's popularity remains the number of new questions on Stack Overflow.

The editing on this is so polished, it almost makes you forget that the Excel logo inside the VBA editor is still from Excel 2003.

The RTE for Gmail signatures is probably the worst one I've had to deal with so far.

It keeps messing up the formatting when copying from Google Docs AND from Word with no way to make the needed adjustments 😮‍💨

I had to resort to editing the HTML directly from devtools to make it work 😅

I used to do a lot of incredible labour saving stuff with Excel VBA back in the day, and it pains me that now I’m a Clicky Clicky Draggy Droppy #PowerBI zombie. I’m almost at the stage if throwing in the towel on this career, because I’m sooo tired of this.

Once had a job where IT disabled macros on every PC for security reasons. It was like Prohibition. People bringing in computers off-network, smuggling macro-enabled files on thumb drives, a black market in LibreOffice code conversion. Good times.

My Excel pivot table broke without any error message. Turns out a date filter will just stop working without any further notice if you have a non-date value in your column.

PS: btw, November 31st doesn't exist.

The fact that sorting alphabetically and by date give the same result is just one more reason to adopt the ISO 8601 format.
