    Tbh I’m old. The first computer I ever used didn’t even have a GUI. That a machine can take my specs and spit out a spreadsheet is fucking unbelievable to me, and I refuse to become so jaded that I can’t be impressed with the leaps forward that stuff makes.

      This isn’t me being jaded. This is me saying “whole ass Excel spreadsheets” is an extremely low bar. Especially when almost two trillion dollars was pissed away getting it here. Imagine if someone had pumped that money into literally anything else.
