I’m not very well read on the topic and you seen to take a strong “con” stance. Curious to hear why you think it deserves such a demise

Consultants or professional services folks will be working in their company’s GitHub account and several clients. Requires managing lots of git/GitHub accounts

We should be able to pin to a version of training data history like we can pin to software package versions. Release new updates w/ SemVer and let the people decide if it’s worth upgrading to

I’m sure it will get there as this space matures, but it feels like model updates are very force-fed to users

I tried the Sheets Big Data example, and it crashed on the first run

Reprex-ish: 1. Open this on iPhone Firefox: https://www.univer.ai/examples/sheets-big-data/ 2. Select a cell and drag down 3. It crashes once it hits row 1M-ish

I get that it might be some kind of memory limitation, but if so there should be guardrails to prevent the user from doing it
