  • I have used Excel to make tags from a table before. Usually just for one off stuff and before I was very familiar with JavaScript.

    E.g. if you have a table of 100 urls you could use excel to easily turn them into a tags using the various text formulas like concat.

    It’s probably never the best tool for the job but sometimes I’ll do stuff in Excel just because I’m very familiar with it.

    To clarify I am not a programmer by trade lol




  • It is true that a lot of music is recorded digitally and then put on vinyl. I’m in a band and we did this exact thing for our latest release. The mastering engineer did a special master specifically for vinyl that is different than the digital release master.

    It is possible to do the recording process analog, but it is more expensive and time consuming.

    There’s also a hybrid option that some elect to do, where they record to tape (analog) and then edit it digitally.


  • I am a big fan of BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front). Condense your entire email to a single sentence and then explain afterward.

    The person you’re emailing will see the key point immediately (maybe even in the lede). If they agree with you, you’re good. If not, they can then read your explanation.

    If the email is so complex I can’t explain it one sentence, that’s usually when I consider asking for a meeting or try to reduce further.

    Example:

    Hi {boss},

    I think we should do X.

    X is the best way to do Y because it can be automated and reproduced sustainably.

    Etc. Etc. Supporting details…

    Let me know if you’d like to meet to discuss further, {Name}
