Programming in a spreadsheet is an anti-pattern. Does anyone review your workflow? Write tests for it? Use a real programming language; a notebook at least.

Streamlit apps or similar are doing a great job at this where I'm at.

As simple to build and deploy as Excel, but with the right data types, the right UI, the right access and version control, the right programming language that LLMs understand, the right SW ecosystem and packages, etc.

maybe the strategy in those cases is to augment the core spreadsheet with tools that can unit test it and broadcast changes etc
