Mary Shaw discusses spreadsheets as an example of vernacular programming in a paper I read: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3480947

Huh, this is a really fascinating article! I really like how she articulates common myths in software development. However, it feels like her remarks are more targeted at the academic CS community, because I think a lot of her critiques (such as lack of integration thinking) are already internalized by project leads of modern software systems.
