I suck at excel - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c</a><p>I would write the equivalent of:<p><pre><code> /* Tax rate */
var b1 = 50%;
/* Salary */
var b2 = 120000;
var b3 = b1 * b2;
</code></pre>
When excel lets you write:<p><pre><code> var tax_rate = 50%;
var salary = 120000;
var b3 = tax_rate * salary;
</code></pre>
I just didn't know any better. This class of problem can be solved by a linter and auto-formatter to automatically detect and use excel best practices. Which also helps you learn best practices.<p>Stop reading and writing excel like it's assembly. Upgrade your excel to the modern era.<p>If you have suggestions or recommendations I'd love to hear them. I just saw the above video linked on HN and thought I can solve this! The current version is extremely simple/naïve/ugly.
