    This 1984 article by @StevenLevy on spreadsheets is just the everything. It’s quaint, hard tech, business. You have FOMO on everything happening in tech today? You should miss the 80s. (Unless you were there. I was a carefree hippie kid in the woods.) https://www.wired.com/2014/10/a-spreadsheet-way-of-knowledge/ …pic.twitter.com/MIbmyOASv7

        I remember first using spreadsheets (Multiplan on a Mac, specifically) a few months before that article and just being blown away. My first reaction was, “Is this even legal?” It felt like serious magic.

        Oh man. I can almost imagine that. As I was coming up, connecting to the ‘net from corporate computers was still questionable in terms of rules. But being so powerful that you wonder if it’s ok? Not from reach, but sheer ability? That’s a high standard.

        Is this from the the Oregon Trail?

        Heh. That green was used for more than video games :) I wanted to use the terminal green in the original Puppet branding, but it was too associated with the Matrix, so I went with Amber instead (which, it turns out, is a much better color).

        Started my inadvertent tech career wrangling sales rep gas/fuel claims in 1-2-3 on DOS c. 1991. And building a payables schedule so we didn't pay that 90-day £1m IBM support contract straight away. Been taking money off IBM ever since 😁

        Love it that people, some of whom weren't born when it was published, keep re-discovering this 35-year-old story

        I was struck by this line: "Fortunately, few would argue that all relations between people can be quantified and manipulated by formulas. " Yet, that seems to be right where we are now.
