- romaniv 10y agoThose are pretty handy features, but they are not nearly enough. I know plenty of people who spend several hours a day entering, validating and fixing data in giant Excel spreadsheets because they need to work with multiple systems that don't have real integration points. That work is mind-numbingly boring and completely avoidable. (Besides, system integration is also rote work, only one level up. I know plenty of engineers whose only job is to constantly write adapters between various web services.)
