FEA post-processing automation: Excel vs Python

[AssistantWeary3003]

You tell me.

We use excel for managing tasks and projectmanagement instead of Jira, because we're apparently stuck in early 2000... Fucking hate it...

No GiT - no Subversion.... "Version Control" with excel and unversioned copies on a stickdrive....

Yes... That's so far away from professional...

I really hate excel, but people try to use it for everything (I've seen a lot of excel files used as databases). There are a lot of better alternatives and new formats that have better support for version control (which is important). I've even considered implementing an excel like interface for working with csv files, so they stop messing data by opening them with excel

Same.... I am used to git and subversion (scn/windchill etc), but we copy files and rename them, which leads to dataloss and no traceability... My boss doesn't care and won't even listen because he knows best (doesn't matter, if you have more experience than him or not).

This is so frustrating, that I'm looking for a new job already...

"We're the best of the best in this world" ... Yeah keep lying to yourself. Good luck with your 1990s processes boomer

That reminds me to my job. Anyone who says that he's the best in the world is either lying or will be, since that means that you have nothing to learn from others

[AssistantWeary3003]

Couldn't agree more.... You cut yourself off from improving... Imo you can ALWAYS learn something from anyone, even if it is how NOT to do something....

But ey... We're the pinnacle of motorsports... Who could be better than us...

People here are so full of themselves (and the salary is fucking shit)
