Loved the beginning of the book. So cool to get something in the world after a 2min work!

I did stop reading at the visual studio page. You may want to at least have a disclaimer about why some people won't use it.

Using microsoft product goes a bit against the 'for all' idea.

Not helping. I do not want '0 this would break everything, I want 0 tobe 0, because 0 is a valid number.
Ido not want to spent another 10 minutes testing wether' -' will be correctly exported as 0 in a csv file or need to test spreadsheets tobe sure that no one entered' - ' i stead of 0.

My question stands, why why why does the software change my valid number entry?

trying to get a spreadsheet done... Why are all these stupid software modifying any of my input. When I write "0" I want "0" , if I would like a "-" I would type "-" ???

When will we have a spreadsheet software for researchers, these stupid functions made for secretaries are making me crazy, so crazy I have to write a post here to let some energy out...

@aral good packing, thanks for being a voice of reason.

Happy christmas too.

Please if you want to do something about it, take 5 minutes more and do it "right" (sorry about the use of that patronising word)

1. use https://shareyourpaper.org or similar to get your papers in a indexed repository, not somewhere only google will have the power to find it. (somewhere unpaywall will find)

2. Forget about google scholar, your orcid page should be where you go for having an academic profile (open data, accessible via API).
