> I see vibe coding in the business sense right now being a gateway to replace all of the ad hoc uses of excel

I rather use Excel. It's likely More robust and safer than the vibe coded app that could trigger data loss / incorrectness / issues any time.

It was 2020 and they were using a format that was replaced in 2007.

It. says more about their issues than Excel. I doubt paper forms would have saved them. Maybe they'll run out of paper and just ignore new entries too.
