Worth Reading: Don't Use Excel as a Source of Truth
Some people insist on using Excel as the ultimate source of user-supplied data (including network automation source of truth).
If you agree with me that that’s not necessarily the best idea out there, you might enjoy this rant by Nikhil Suresh.
Thank you Ivan, that one realy made me laugh. I had to argue against my manager wanting to inject some unknowly sourced manually extracted Excel data into our DB a few weeks ago, and I faced the exact same excuses :-) Btw, reading you regularly through RSS, great content. I read an IP journal just yesterday evening about the history of ethernet thanks to you. Cheers!
So nice to hear someone appreciates my pointers. Thank you!
