Them: Why not use Google Sheets or MS Excel as a Database?

Me: You are right. Go ahead and use it. Have a nice day.

^ You reach that stage in life where you just don't have any will or power left to fight stupidity. You know what? Forget the fight. It's about keeping my peace. There, I said it.

@nixCraft the thing is we all know using Excel as a DB is very bad.

At least, they can do their stuff by themself, without asking me to help them. Thats is a bit priceles.

I am at a moment in my life I know better how to value my time and set the right priorities.

@nixCraft completely. However, on some of my powerful days, I choose to spend my time fighting stupidity. You know, not recommended to feed the dragon

@nixCraft When I was younger: They are wrong and I feel compelled to let them know.

Me now: I think "Enjoy basking in your wrongness." and go on about my day.

@nixCraft Question 1: Can this become my problem? If not, then why bother?...

Question 2: Are they just naive? Good to ask, if you deal with students for example.

@nixCraft Something that is easy to see when you are a teacher is that educating others is a paid job, so you don't have any obligation to do it for free.
