Just yesterday I stumbled across https://pyspread.gitlab.io/ after finding that coding Excel is a complete desaster from a software engineering point of view - no testing, no debugging, no version control, no structure. It must have costed humanity many billions in vain.

Whaddya mean no version control? What about CTRL + SHIFT + S every few minutes with incremental cryptic filename additions to USE_THIS_ONE_CopyofCopyof_VERY_IMPORTANT_myLatest_Edits_to_Copy_of(3)_DONT_DELETE.xlsx? ;-) But if you use Office 365 for file storage, there is actual version history for Office documents.

  • If the version history isn’t named, then there is no version control, just versioning.
