I'm amazed at the lack of basic Excel knowledge almost every time I interview or encounter a fairly recent college graduate.

Try convincing them to use CoPilot to help. Should get a good eye roll reaction

Wow, so soul crushing… maybe you could put them in touch with someone humble enough to actually help them… like some kind of resource or something.
These people have advanced degrees, I’m here for things like macros to copy, move, or rename mass files or handle and manipulate large data sets, not teach them control D or shift left

A few lines into SAS gets output in a few seconds that would take you hours to do in Excel. When people brag about their exploits with Excel they're just telling the world they don't actually know anything about numbers.
I use Alteryx

I just did the math on a calculator… it said it would take less time to remediate their basic excel knowledge than to impart you with rudimentary social skills.

Congrats.
AI is going to drag it's nuts across everything you know, in a fraction of the "super fast" time you think you can do it.

I hope so, it’ll give me more time to do the real value add stuff
We’ve been trying to use machine learning and OCR for years, shite doesn’t work

I just code VBA to do what I want

It’s hard to imagine I would ever find it “soul crushing” for people who have no familiarity with my profession unable to do some of the more basic things I do. Maybe learn to appreciate it as job security instead?

They’re my contemporaries, they just choose not to learn the most basic skills that would make their life easier. Meanwhile I’m watching them on a shared screen clicking through in what is a kin to typing with one finger like a 90 year old

Yes, watching Brian Kelly miss the playoffs with Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, and Brian Thomas Jr. on the roster

I only had to deal with that for a few hours in Saturday’s. I have to deal with this shite like 50 hours a week

Just clicking on random shite hoping for a positive outcome.

I would counter that most people are lazy and apathetic AF. They’d rather just have someone do it for them than learn… because that would take some effort
