Given that a lot of ZSers ate joining Novartis, do you think that we can have a whatsapp group for the same? Thoughts?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

Anyone have a good XML viewer/editor that has a grid view? I’m trying to mass review and update tool names and annotations for a number of very large Alteryx workflows. I think an xml editor with a grid view will do what I need but I’m also open to other suggestions if you have them.

How does one try to learn Altyrx with no experience and no (current) access to it? I work at a small firm and am going crazy with so many inefficiencies in repetitive tasks occupying myself and my staffs time.

Hi 👋 Nice to have this bowl here! I’m a CPA with 5 years experience in tax who recently realized that I can’t stand doing compliance anymore.

Do you code at all in tax tech? Or is it lostly macros and Alteryx?
