There will always be business managers that put their company's crown jewels into a complex spreadsheet managed by an amateur or semi-pro. With millions of dollars flowing through the pipes surrounding them, they will make ignorant technical decisions just to save $1000.

- Use source control.
- Don't trust inputs.
- Run tests.
