A while back a hotshot new manufacturing engineer created a clusterfuck of mangled IDs by using the row sequence of a spreadsheet as a UID.

I asked them if differentiating a SQL database from a spreadsheet was part of any of his training.

Because this is something you can self-train, all the spreadsheet and database skills, everything you can name, is trivial. No need to go to college for that.

Kids should not get a HS "diploma" without mastering basic arithmetic with spreadsheet and SQL scripting.

But with the LUG self-training also started to disappear.
