omg you can't just ask someone if they are Japanese.
Work trope in Japan is that everything is done in excel.
Even when it makes no sense.
You even have artists doing painting in excel.

Re: Spreadsheets are all you need
#14Brilliant idea/URL. It’s often true though. So many things I think “I could make an app for that” I wind up just using a spreadsheet for. At least it helps me explore the use cases more deeply for when I’d want to actually take it to the next level. I hung out with a friend while they solved Advent of Code challenges in Excel, that was a trip to watch.
it's like all the current gaga over RAG and vector dbs when the real ones just use numpy to prototype

Author here. Yes, Jeremy Howard and fast.ai was one of the inspirations for this! I'd actually be curious what he thinks of the project if he ever sees it.

Thanks! There's a truth to the name beyond just the play on the transformers paper. Definitely have thought about how many SaaS apps could be a spreadsheet and vice versa and often use them to create mini-apps (often via apps script).
