We don't call people working in excel programmers though, not even themselves do that. That is the thing, we create a ton of wonderful no/low code tools, but then we create different jobs from programming since the programming is no longer the hard part the role is no longer a programmer.
Right. We call them accountants. That's why the market expanded. ;)
