My boss has been begging me migrate a nightmarish complex excel report he made to calculate the payout of a tiered rebates program with compounding rewards. Today I finally decided to make take the time and I sat down with him so he could break it down for me...
Me: *looking at the mess of formula's* it would be easier to rewrite the math than decode this - can you just give me the reward rules... where does that value in cellX come from?
Him:*pointing at the spreadsheet* There! All the rules are in there for you :-)... like it's some big favour...
Me:No I mean when you wrote this, what did you base this off? There must be something...
Him: *Very Gravely* No, no, no it's far to complex! It took me ages to get this sheet right and it balances so just trust me and use it ok?
At this point I will mention he's an accountant so yeah I fucking trust him... fast forward past 15 minutes of digging through what may as well be quantum theory and lo and fucking behold all 2 sheets and 100 calculations are mathematically fucking pointless. Aside from formulas like this:
$X10=+(((O10+P10)-((O10+P10)*$X$3))*$R$4)+T10
which is actually equal to (X10/R4)/L10.
Anyway once you compound and sum the "tiered" benefits the rewards payout is ALWAYS = customerSpend*1.81.
This is why programmers name variables. -

$git checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git
Companies moving away from words like blacklist, master-slave are going to spend developer resources on doing this.
What kind of sensetive idiots have we become that we are wasting productive time? Not that we could be cracking quantum theory problems in that time, but still, seriously!
What's next? Update the dictionary and remove all words ?
And don't comment that I'm insensitive to atrocities. I understand atrocities over race/gender (I come from a brown country, face racism everyday) but how does spending time on updating code bases help?13 -
Doesn’t the discovery of gluons and W/Z bosons kinda make Einsteins unified field theory…. Not a theory?…. The man was brilliant but, didn’t really believe in quantum mechanics… Only reason he would of been wrong in my opinion…. And I already thought he was right.9

LOST WAILLET PRIVATE KEY RECOVERY HIRE DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION
I spend my days unraveling the mysteries of the universe, trying to make sense of quantum entanglement, Schrödinger's cat, and the nature of reality itself. But despite my expertise in the fundamental forces of the cosmos, I somehow managed to completely lose access to my own Bitcoin wallet.
Now, I thought myself a prudent man. Of course, I knew better than to write down my private keys in some kind of digital file that could get hacked, and I certainly was not about to trust my notoriously bad human memory. So I came up with what I figured was a brilliant security scheme: I wrote down my wallet credentials on a strip of paper, and then proceeded to bury that paper deep within my favorite book on physics, A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking. A perfect plan. Wrong. One day, in a moment of charity-or maybe even utter absent-mindedness-I decided to donate a box of books to a local charity. Noble, noble act. Well, you might have guessed it: my whole financial future was tucked inside one of those books. It wasn't until weeks later that I realized the horrifying truth: my $500,000 in Bitcoin was now floating around in some secondhand bookstore, completely out of my reach.
Cue existential crisis. I tore my apartment apart, retracing every step I had taken over the past month. I even went back to the bookstore and bought back as many of my donated books as I could find. But A Brief History of Time? Gone. Vanished. Probably sitting on someone's bookshelf, holding a fortune they didn't even know existed. When the loss seemed total-when I'd even considered the possibility that quantum tunneling might somehow return the book to me-I called in DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. I was skeptical-if I couldn't even recover my own password, how could they? But their team was reassuring, methodical, and oddly calm about my ridiculous mistake. They assured me they'd seen worse (which I still refuse to believe), and they got to work. Weeks passed, and just when I was about to come to terms with financial realities, they cracked it-somehow, through sheer digital DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION my lost Bitcoin. Indescribable relief-I felt like I had just solved the Unified Field Theory.
The moral of the story? Never trust your memory. Never store your fortune in a book. And if you ever lose access to your Bitcoin, call DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. They don't just perform miracles-they undo the kind of mistakes that even quantum physics can't explain
