Guess time to bump things up to a higher order portable programming language. Python for excel anyone vs. go "R".

sounds like excel cell that calls html link to dynamically 'fetch' what needs to be display in cell. Link results can be the result(s) of almost anything. OTTO could well be a redirected link by server to 'sub-server' machine.

Might be due to copyright restrictions.

Very less tramatic programming exercise than using awk. :-) aka realistic programming tool(s) for required task.

On software side, building an OS (distribution) from scratch provides a step above bare metal programming[0].

Provides familiarity with different types of things a kernel does via programs/scripts that make use of kernel.

Actually writing binary code for kernel bit can be done under qem[1][2]. aka don't need to buy actual hardware, can use 'software probes' to view what's going on, etc. Don't have to worry about 'crashing'/trashing box running on (just crash the qem software & loosing just what was done in qem session, if didn't save as 'export/save to external location outside of qem session')

Related OpenAI forum topic(s) that covers related issues[0].

Old school, mark 'paragraph'/sentence, regular expression out miscellaneous info (using language linguistics / linguistic 'typing' aka noun, verb, etc) , then dump relevent remaining info in json/delimited format & normalize data (aka 1st november to 11/01). multi-pass awk script(s) / pearl / icon are languages with appropriate in-language support. use regular expressions/statistics to detect 'outliers'/mark data for human review.

multi-pass awk would require a codex/phrases related to a delimited/json tag. so first pass, identify phrases (perhaps also spell correct), categorize phrases related to given delimited field (via human intervention), then rescan, check for 'outliers'/conflicting normalizations & have script do corrects per human annotations.

Note: Normalized phonetic annotations bit easer to handle than common dictionary spelling.

Depends on ecosystem (work, team, and tasks)

> Is this a matter of domain familiarity, perceived craftsmanship, or simple cultural gatekeeping?

Likely all of the topics covered in the question. aka Takes time/money to train/become skilled in given professional area. Things that undermine that money/time/training in way that have to retrain before the professional investment paids off tend to cause issues. Legal framework hasn't caught up with changes, so difficult/more costly & time consuming to resolve issues that do happen.

'Historical' parallels abound:

  --- 1800's introduction of camera / fax machine[4] vs. portrait artist; vs. history of kodak & digital camera[1]; xerox[2]/ibm & pc[3]!

  --- car/automation vs. blacksmith/coachman/horse related jobs;

  --- car/us urbanization vs. door to door sales/professional services aka house calls.  Although, car delivery services paired with internet ordering/video teleconferencing kinda reinventing/rediscovering the historical door to door sales/professional services. (where covid-19 helped expidite the conversion to making use of on-line offerinngs)

  

More same thing, different historical context / changes in available technology:

  --- Sears orignally sold by catalog / inspiring 'towns by the rail road' vs. amazon, no physial store, sells by internet/mail delivery aka no multi-physical store rent/overhead vs.phyiscal stores "free delivering with in store pickup".  Perhaps at some point this concept will yet again change to something akin to send the software specs to print out non-food/food items on one's home 3d printer.

  --- Some what dependent on where one lives, but grocery store 'call-in', pick-up & delivery. (touching on historical sears & railroad in western US, vs. physical stores & customer proximity in eastern US.)  Although, with overnight/speedy delivery, could technically overcome store geographic differences. -- aka amazon free delivery $14 month to places in alaska only reachable by air service (minimum air service flight charge before freight charge way beyond cost of 'small order'. (2015, bit dated: [0]))

  --- Harder to find references, but mainframe staff/administrative support vs. home pc vs. cloud services vs. mobile phone & internet/services. 

  --- requirement of college class in philosophical logic when seeking a bachelors degree.

  --- computer science/information science merged into 'data science'

Social aspects & things not only specific to a given language ecosystem / hardware. aka things allow one to adapt to changing tech scene / job situtation without complete 're-learn theory/practice'. (assuming within same area of expertise/job experience).

Very open ended questions. Geeks for Geeks loosely organized around computer science topics of study : https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/

nit-pick details:

Ignoring hardware differences, "performance" comparisons can be based on differences between algorithm(s) used vs. how algorithm is implimented. For a given language, "algorithm implimentation performance" can be defined as the trade-offs on how a a given algorithm is implimented in a language (compared to other programming languages, but also easy use/flexibility based on 'language generation level -> https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/generation-programming-languag... )

----------------------

1) General computation language specialty 'modules' not withstanding; "languages" are built/optimised around core algorithmic concepts / anticipated area/concentration of targeted professional environment. aka opencl (gpu), R (statistics), Lisp (engineering design), C (OS level), sql (data selection), jasper reports, cobol (business), etc. Languages tend to be 'popular' because of the ecosystem provided around/for a given language.

snarky side note -> can always write a more standard language that compiles to an esolang & provide appropriate emacs/vim/sed/spacemacs ide support.: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Main_Page

  LLM's are very useful at curating information and recognizing/summarizing "statisical" relevance. aka apl is great for engineering mind set, not so good for business use cases aka cobal.  LLM might recognize a language for a given user that combines commonly used 'apl' aspecs of user and commonly used 'cobal' aspecs of user and recommend a language(s) with suitable commonalities for given user. 

2) Search engine topic 'coding challenges' 'algorithmic coding challenges' brings up many types of answers/sites for honing one's coding skills (various languages, beginner to expert, etc). Coding 'algorithms' vs. coming up with algorithm(s) to code is sort of a side aspect. Also differences in 'competition' challenges vs. 'technical challenges' (aka 512 c64 vs. 1 raspberry pi) ; vs. "computer science coding challenges" vs. 'computational genomic challenges'

     ?? how easy / hard based on 'profession' aka artist vs. software designer 20 years experience programming in scheme; environment -- NASA vs. google vs. insurance company.

   ?? from scratch : https://synoptek.com/insights/it-blogs/10-challenges-every-software-product-developer-faces/

   ?? based on industry standards ?? ; just trying to keep skills honed ??

Ah, no concept of time in Lewis Carrol universe, so find and eliminate expressions to make things 'N' before the maxwell equations[1][2][3] differentiate to much / become "NP" and crash the multi-universe.

Save on robotic automation costs via software scripts!

Perhaps 3d printed circuit boards will now be a more realisitic alterntative than traditional outsourcing board production? [2][3][4]

Perhaps there'll be some motivation/inspiration for creating/combining standard programming logic/language/3d 'threaded' sock it programming by combining (2021) mathematics of knitting[5]; and more modern / inexpensive / upgraded 'general computational device' derived from apollo guidence computer[6] concept. aka instead of wasm, weave-em.

Do have to get over the 'stich in time, saves nine', since most modern computation 'saves in 8'. Easy to unravel program(s). Tight knit spreadsheets!

But, computational e-ink might scale better using DBOS concepts[7].

What might be nice is to add a prefix to key name that indicates 'this is a 'internal document reference', skip this unless quests to parser to not ignore. Would allow for describing encoding method(s) used. date format comments being very helpful. Technically, can do by just dropping by key name.

Why comment on a format vs. adding an associated "key""format" with format information. aka date : 25.02.04 date-fmt : YY.DD.MM

Going with the concatination theme, note|able for notable app work?

Yet another example/demo of "Use the source!"

There is nothing in the JSON spec that prohibits pre/post non-json parsing search / replace 'end of line' marker with one or more commas.

JSON spec just tells one what the JSON parser expects, not what the end user needs/wants. (GPT-JSON not withstanding)
