While I enjoy snarking at amateurs‘ mistakes as much as anybody, I believe it’s an overlooked fact that nothing has been as successful in getting non-programmers to program, and in getting the benefits of programming out there, as spreadsheets have.
Excel gets almost as much grieve as PowerPoint does. But I’ve met 80-year old booksellers running their own demand-forecasting spreadsheets, which were more sophisticated and accurate than quite a few „business intelligence“ portals I’ve seen over the years. And isn’t that awesome?
