    Sometimes I wonder what the net productivity growth enabled by spreadsheets is. Can you imagine trying to run a company without a spreadsheet? How did people do it?

        The Air Force had like 100 accountants gather in Florida for a month and crawl around on physical spreadsheets the size of a basketball court. They had shoulder length gloves so they didn't smudge the numbers cuz they had to work in pencil.

        By myself, with no training, I analyzed election results for 15 races across 53 towns (453 voting distract) in under 100 hours. Just gathering the data pre Internet would have taken longer, checking the math would take 3 times as long.

        I'm not saying companies shouldn't use math to make predictions but there are a lot of things that can't be encoded into spreadsheets. If a company is run purely on financials that can be toxic.

        Also when I hear founders say “I hate spreadsheets/excel “ my response is you better get over it. Budgets and raising cash without one means it’s not going to happen.
