I mean yeah, hardly anyone use Excel in this AI era(correct me if i'm wrong), postgres is one of the best things discovered in this AI slope.

Interesting, but light on technical details, including close to zero mention of how the new UI was implemented

However, a “Flash” UI is mentioned?

And if someone is using a web-based spreadsheet like Google Sheets, it could also change the pros/cons.

And an odd piece of writing or two like:

> Then, one fine day, my spreadsheets broke under their own weight, and I needed a proper database. …

Following paragraph:

> You don't wake up one day and decide it's time to stop using Excel and switch to something else. It happens gradually — a single spreadsheet becomes three tabs, then ten, then a master file referencing half a dozen others.
