- garciasn 9mo agoYes! You should absolutely always assume a random stranger on HN is outright lying about a trivial anecdote to farm meaningless karma.

- SatvikBeri 9mo agoWhat...what conflict do you think I'm instigating, exactly? Whether the command line is a better interface than Excel?
- SatvikBeri 9mo agoI am really shocked at the response this trivial anecdote has gotten. I could state it much more generically: we had an annoying Excel sheet that took ~10 minutes a week, I vibe coded a command line tool that brought it down to ~1 minute a week. I don't think this is unusual or hard to believe in any way.
