Good Projects
If you want to do something really useful, you can contribute to one of the many amazing libraries around like stdVBA (you can see the backlog here), CSV Interface or VBCorLib

Why do people still use VBA?
I do RPA from VBA personally using IAccessiblity. See stdAcc (https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdAcc.cls) and an example (https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA-examples/tree/main/Example...)

Writing a Compiler is Surprisingly Easy (part 1)
You could have just treated everything as variant correct? That's what we do here: https://github.com/sancarn/stdVBA/blob/master/src/stdLambda....

Is the era of the self-taught dev over?
The responses I got was a mix. Some businesses didn't take me seriously because the main language I used was VBA. Some businesses claimed I was too eager and I "didn't have a life". No one seemed to care about the achievements I had made in the languages, like building a DSL in VBA, or this electron app. I did eventually get a job in another engineering firm though, where I spend 90% of my time to this day programming.

Best Practice in Aggregating Data
Really depends what you actually want to do and how neat (or fast) you want your code to be too... I typically use stdEnumerator and stdLambda from stdVBA.
-
How long have you been using VBA? What do you use it for at your job? Or for personal reasons
Sometimes, though more of a library / tool developer here. See stdVBA or stdVBA-examples

Why does VBA give general statement for errors and not exact?
That said it is effort. After building stdLambda which brings lambda syntax to VBA, I can tell you that error handling in this class is still trash. It's just a lot of effort to write good error messages, and handle all errors correctly. Still definitely an item on the TODO list, but will it ever be a priority? idk

Bulk Structured Spreadsheet Extractor
Otherwise this library poses as an example of how to use stdVBA libraries. Libraries used in this project: stdEnumerator, stdArray, stdCallback, stdCOM, stdICallable, stdLambda, stdRegex.

A Fast and Simple Settings Management Module. Automatically sets everything up and works for PC or MAC
If you want a solution though see stdSettings. There are both system and user settings. Users are bound by their domain, so should work across organisations :)

/r/VBA PSA: ChatGPT is incredibly good at writing basic VBA code if you give it clear instructions of what you want it to do and how
Explaining code in such a way that it codes the correct thing is pretty awful though... Let's try to do that for stdTimer.
What are some alternatives?
