Excel enabled non-programmers to create basically any app as long as they are fine with a cell-based UI. Same with Access and CRUD apps. I know people love to dunk on M$ here, and for good reasons too, but these two programs are probably responsible for a decent chunk or PoC/v1 projects worldwide.
A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it’s now your desktop computer.
Mobile apps are shit for that. Sure, my phone is powerful enough to browse internet, play video and music but on desktop with mouse/kb it’s just weird and funky. And I’m not even talking about any productivity software which is straight impossible.
Uggh, yes, that.
Nowadays it’s change settings, refresh page, navigate 10 intermediate pages because SPA, confirm that your settings stuck.

Another self portrait, drawn when he was 90 or 91. Probably my favorite of his self portraits. Titled “The Young Painter”:
It was incredible to see it live unprepared. When you look chronologically through his paintings, you see basically every modern style there is - the guy participated in a lot of art movements over the twentieth century—and was proficient and productive in several of them. He starts classically, but soon descends into surrealistic nightmares and all the other things he became famous for. And then, finally, in the end, after all this insanity of lines and cubes and shapes and trying to figure out meanings (or at least subjects), you come to the last painting in the exhibition, and it really looks like something a talented ten-year-old could draw - full of life and innocence and optimism.
We actually have a live experience of how that could go down
Another example: latest iteration of Google Captcha. Released with promises to end manually inputting text captchas, the main thing it turned out to check for is whatever you are logged into your google account. If so, you get through automatically, or, at worst have to press a checkbox. If you are not logged in, enjoy selecting fire hydrants and crosswalks.
Yea, it’s strange - top to bottom rows sum up to 94, 100, 92, 94, 100, 100
