360 years.
That is the collective Excel experience of my team of 30 people, in one room.
I have personally used Excel for 20 years. Since the very beginning.
We’ve spent decades "crushing it" when it comes to financial modeling.
We knew every shortcut. Every nested formula. We thought we had reached the peak of efficiency. (They are better then me, just to admit)
But I have something to tell you.
The game just changed.
In my opinion, we are witnessing the biggest innovation since Excel was first released. It’s not a new function or a Power BI update.
It’s Claude.
Specifically, Claude’s ability to build and manipulate Excel models.
For 40 years, the "manual labor" was the tax we paid.
Hardcoding formulas.
Spending hours formatting cells.
Manually linking sheets and building tables from scratch.
That era is over.
Claude can now handle the heavy lifting of building the structure, the logic, and the formatting in minutes.
But here is the part that really surprised me: It actually understands accounting.
It understands the relationship between a Balance Sheet and a Cash Flow statement. It understands how operating drivers flow into a P&L.
We aren't replacing our expertise. We are finally liberating it.
Instead of spending 80% of our time building the model, we spend 100% of our time analyzing the results.
If you want this Prompt and Excel model, just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you.

If you're old enough, you will recognize this sounds and appreciate the spectrogram of a dial up modem handshake. The full video's caption reports a verbal translation/breakdown of the process

@dejus If you’re headed through Ft Davis be sure to catch a Star Party at McDonald Observatory.

Also one of the best Thanksgiving dinners that I’ve had was at the Gauge Hotel in Marathon TX.

@dejus Also, I highly recommend the bat flight in the evening.

@dejus If you have multiple days then natural entrance on one day + the big room the next is a good idea. The Kings Room tour is awesome… they turn out the lights.
The natural entrance can be a bit steep in places (all downhill). But well worth the experience.

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 9 is “certain”. I’m not entirely certain I want to do the Natural Entrance to Carlsbad Caverns and the Big Room Trail in the same day, but we’ll probably do both when we re-visit on Saturday. 📷 #mbnov

@eminiplayer Dallas isn’t so bad. I grew up there and still have most of my family and a lot of friends there (Richardson / Plano area). Nephews attends UTD and UNT.
My sister is a real estate agent with Monument Realty in case you need a referral.

Has all 4 seasons, more family-friendly with great schools, great restaurants, people are friendly (especially compared to Miami), DFW is a great airport and you're 1 hop away from most places, central timezone, no income tax, and I think Texas is on upward economic trajectory.

@AndrewWarner Welcome to Austin!
We’re also on 5.5 acres on the SW side of town… down near Salt Lick BBQ. Tons of work on our place too. Garden, chickens, rainwater collection, solar, permaculture berms and swales. Enjoy!

@daveverwer @iOSDevWeekly Well, I guess there is some benefit of never deleting anything 😉
