Lotus 1-2-3 on the PC w/DOS VisiCalc started it, but 1-2-3 finished it. "It" being the discussion of what a spreadsheet can be, and also VisiCalc itself.

๐Ÿชจ Lotus 1-2-3 on the PC w/ #DOS ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Did you know #Lotus123 is still referenced in #Excel documentation, but not #VisiCalc? I spent time getting to know #VisiCalc's killer. When I struggled to make a chart, I called on the help of #AI. AI from 1986!

My biggest gripe is that this is further denigrating people who are actual victims of racism by creating a false equivalence

Itโ€™s amazing how many people do not understand that this is not a question or statement about laws and neither is it asking for clarification or edification

Tangent: the mixture of high-level and low-level work is exactly what makes making* software interesting as a profession.

I donโ€™t think you can be good at making software without doing both and everything in-between as it informs each other.
