Whenever this is posted it always sounds like it comes from someone who has never worked outside of engineering.
The world runs on a visual low code scripting system called Excel.
- breadloaf 4y agoThis. Excel is (kind-of) No Code way for creating general purpose software for masses by masses. But it really depends on skillset of user. I saw a guy who wrote DB system in Excel, I witnessed employee putting data into Excel and then working them out via calculator and putting results in the Excel manually.

- breadloaf 4y agoPoint taken that floating point arithmetic might be broken in Excel, but most use cases of Excel are calculation without floating point numbers.
