Only real companies run an entire critical workflow on a spreadsheet.

Think this is a joke? I'm dead serious.

A company hasn't truly made it until someone whips out a spreadsheet under duress to accomplish something and suddenly this spreadsheet is in a critical workflow because it's what was made.

Only truly unhinged and hyper successful companies turn these spreadsheets into services. Yes, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀.
