  • I was going to say: the office environment doesn’t suck that much, or rather it’s not aimed at people with advanced programing knowledge. Rather everyone else (which is probably the majority in the professional world).

    For people who have no or little IT knowledge it’s actually very handy.

    I’ve learned a little bit of programming during my studies (mostly R) and I’m now working in a big company.

    Power automate is so useful and nearly ALL parts of the office ecosystem is accessible to it. And it’s possible to use it with very little coding knowledge.

    It’s now my main tool of work (with excel).
