Just saw this and had an extraordinary physical reaction. Sort of a flash of violence and also sick.

@sheepnik @TheBreadmonkey I’m not sure how @sheepnik got that photo of my boudoir.

@AdaraAstin @sheepnik I love that artwork. It's so literal in one way but figurative in the other.

@TheBreadmonkey Weren't those mugs first made by the Festival of the Spoken Nerd? It was a semi-mocking reaction to the superposition of power and bleakness of the world of spreadsheet. Matt Parker aka StandUpMaths was, i think, the mad genius behind them. I can ask him, if you want.

@TheBreadmonkey We translators hate spreadsheets and despise those who expect us to translate them.

@TheBreadmonkey I almost feel bad for admitting that, well, I actually do love spreadsheets. Even though I'm a software engineer/architect. They are just really nice for tabular data with some calculations and much less of a hassle then Markdown for that purpose.

@zappes

Don't feel bad. I was only messing about. I also love spreadsheets but don't tell anyone. We can form an underground club for likeminded weirdos where we meet and hang out and do spreadsheets with our shirts off. Minimum requirement is people who can concatenate. That can be our tagline....

'No concatenate, can't come in mate'

@TheBreadmonkey And then there's that room in the back, where the coolest of us gather. There is a small bronze plaque on the door that simply says "VLOOKUP".

@zappes @TheBreadmonkey XLOOKUP > VLOOKUP

You mean there are people who don't love spreadsheets. How is that even possible?
