    Years ago saw someone copy/pasting stuff in Excel one field at a time using the “Edit” menu. She told me this way she knew it was working.

    I had to walk away.

    I will also say that back then computers were a lot scarier, since many people had never used them. People were terrified of clicking the wrong thing.

      Yeah, I am the same.
      I type the code myself, so I know what it actually means, instead of letting AI do it.

      It might seem different now, but 10-20 years down the line, they might be the same energy.
