Today marks the anniversary of a real trailblazer in the world of business tech. On January 2, 1979, Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston founded Software Arts, the company behind the very first spreadsheet software: VisiCalc. Heard of it? It was a groundbreaking tool that helped to transform the personal computer from a fun gadget into an essential business device. VisiCalc gave businesses a way to calculate budgets, track finances, and manage data right from their desktops. For the first time, complex calculations didn’t require an entire accounting department - just a PC and a copy of the software. It’s fair to say that VisiCalc laid the foundation for the likes of Microsoft Excel, which is now used daily by many businesses. For business owners, this innovation was more than a calculation tool; it was a mindset shift. It shows how technology can help us work faster, smarter, and more efficiently. As we begin to embrace AI and automation, it’s worth remembering how simple tools like spreadsheets have paved the way for everything we do in business today. Would you have tried out VisiCalc when it was first released? What spreadsheet software do you use in your business today? #TechHistory #Innovation #VisiCalc https://lnkd.in/eQuvQPa7

"LLMs have proven themselves to be remarkably efficient at this and will drive the cost of creating software to zero. What happens when software no longer has to make money? We will experience a Cambrian explosion of software, the same way we did with content." An interesting take by Chris Paik. However content is a commodity. The same pictures of cups of coffee or articles about global events or posts on social. Whereas software is usually solving the marginal problem. The workflow that hasn't been solved before. That will always be expensive to do (even supported by LLMs), and be valued. The workflows that have been around a while have already been solved. And this so called cambrian explosion should it happen would already have happened with open source (and has in a way). I'm long on software. https://lnkd.in/gQVkJpBu

Imagine a world without spreadsheets? No neatly organised rows and columns, no automatic calculations, no easy way to analyse data. Hard to believe, right? But that was the reality before 1979, when VisiCalc, the world's first electronic spreadsheet program, was released! Developed by Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston, VisiCalc was a game-changer. Originally designed for the Apple II computer, it quickly became a must-have tool for businesses and individuals alike. Why? Because it allowed users to: • Organise data: Say goodbye to messy handwritten ledgers and hello to neat, organised tables. • Perform calculations automatically: No more manual number crunching! VisiCalc could add, subtract, multiply, and divide with ease. • Analyse data with "what-if" scenarios: Users could easily change values and see the impact on other cells, making it a powerful tool for forecasting and decision-making. VisiCalc's impact was profound. It: • Boosted the personal computer market: Many people bought Apple II computers just to use VisiCalc! • Revolutionised business practices: Businesses of all sizes embraced VisiCalc to improve efficiency and productivity. • Paved the way for future spreadsheet programs: VisiCalc inspired the development of Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Excel, and other spreadsheet software that we rely on today. At Testing Roots, we appreciate the importance of accurate and reliable software, especially when it comes to critical data. We rigorously test spreadsheet programs and other data-driven applications to ensure they meet the highest standards of quality and functionality.
