  • The writing for Endgame was lazy crap to just let them wrap things up with an epic battle. The second they introduced time travel and said, “okay, here are our specific rules we need to follow,” I just checked out. It was a lazy deus ex machina so they could just retcon all of the story lines and have the battle scenes. The battle was entertaining, but didn’t feel earned. If they done something with everyone being trapped in the soul-stone or in a parallel universe it would have been so much more interesting. Like if you had both universes working together to rejoin then an epic battle, but no, let’s just time travel and bring everyone back, but also let Tony keep his kid. It was just lazy.


  • My boss convinced me to make a pricing calculator for our contracts using Excel with macros. I pushed back and said we need to use Power Apps, CRM, or anything other than Excel. He said it would just be a POC/wireframe we’d use to build a more permanent solution with later.

    Well 5 years later, there are like 2 dozen versions floating around with different macros, pricing, etc. And of course I’m the one who gets messaged every time some makes a change and breaks the damn thing, or some sales person is convinced it’s not calculating correctly. I fucking HATE that Excel sheet.
