on: Why do people still use VBA?
I agree. I worked as an analyst where due to security policies we only had VBA. There was application which consisted of an Access DB for a "front end" (containing an interface to input data, generate reports in ppt/excel, etc) which connected to another access database as the "back end" and an admin console to pull in data from a SQL database. I had a lot of fun maintaining it.

Someone works on an Excel file every day and reads an article about how they can make their job easier with automation. The language and IDE are built in so it's easy to get started. It's also easy to distribute since anyone with Office can run it.

on: Cleaning Up Dead Bodies in AWS IAM
15 years ago some interns where I now work created a spreadsheet and named it an acronym of their first names. That project has since developed into a fairly important system with a front end and database. They kept the name the same, of course.
