@[email protected] Do you know that many engineers use Excel to solve differential equations via millions of cells for real projects? The amount of engineering done in Excel is just terrifying.

And so you beg, and plead, and pray that they let you use anything other than fucking microsoft access and excel to post process that finite element data, but haha, you silly mortal, God is dead. Trying to perform 9by9 matrix operations sixteen times columnwise on 700 gb of data using only microsoft excel is like trying to fit a hippopotamus turd through the drain in a studio apartment shower.https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/9x096s/an_insane_answer_to_whats_the_largest_amount_of/e9q8ruz/

An insane answer to "What's the largest amount of bad code you have ever seen work?"

@niconiconi @johoda I was once configuring a DDR3 memory with an Excel spreadsheet, until I extracted all formulas from it and implemented it in my memory tester instead
