The book is entitled “The Anti-Catastrophe League: The Pioneers And Visionaries On A Quest To Save The World”. Some of these heroes are already reasonably well known, but others were new to David, and, he suspects, to many of the book’s readers. Tom is a Lon...

The Data Cleanup TrapYou think your job is analysis. It isn’t. It’s janitorial work with better branding. Every spreadsheet in your life begins the same way—tabular chaos pretending to be data. Dates in six formats, currencies missing symbols, column headers that read like riddles. You call that analysis? That’s housekeeping with formulas.Let’s be honest—half your “reports” are just therapy for the punishment Excel inflicts. You open the file, stare into the abyss of merged cells, sigh, and start

The Data Entry NightmareLet’s start with something familiar — the Power Apps form. Every organization has one. Rows of text boxes pretending to be productivity. You click “New Record,” a form opens, and suddenly you’re not an analyst or a manager. You’re a typist. Copying names, phone numbers, addresses, maybe from an email that someone forwarded, maybe from a PDF invoice that refuses to let you copy cleanly. This isn’t digital transformation. It’s clerical labor with branding.Now multiply that by
