Yeah it turns out to be a mess, but it sometimes gets businesses off the ground. It’s crazy to think how much of the world’s software really consists of spreadsheets and macros.
Would you rather have a lot of businesses operating successfully with “poor” software or much fewer businesses operating with “good” software?
- solarkraft 5y agoI'm way too young to have experienced this myself and maybe this is something that has over-all been forgotten, but going back a few decades and looking at computer content from the 70s/80s it's amazing how crazy people got about spreadsheets. And that's for a good reason: It was a massive productivity boost. These things have been driving our economy for a few decades at insane levels of productivity.
