There is no software without bugs.

I had a Google spreadsheet that I put together two weeks ago. Used some custom code in "App Script", a few very simple functions that made some of the spreadsheet formulas much easier.

A week later they stopped working. Google app script was just not working for a lot of people. It could have been embarrasing because I had shared this spreadsheet with several hundred people to communicate some real-time information, and now it was not working. But, that's software. It always lets you down eventually, and never at a convenient time.

Here's the specific issue, still unresolved after many days. This is Google. Google. If their software is buggy, what hope does your small startup have?

It's part of the reason that I hope to as much as possible evict computers, phones, and the internet from my life when I retire. I feel like Charlie Brown kicking the football over and over, thinking that this time she won't pull the ball away.
