Friendly reminder that this is literally the whole point of the job. Automation. Making people stop doing tasks that can be done by machines - which often means replacing people with code. Sometimes even ourselves.
The reason is, I don't think there is a single website out there, which couldn't be described in a spreadsheet.
What I suggest though, is take a look at this, and throw your companies sheet at it in a 30 minute hack session. If this proves unfruitful, I'd be happy to hear all about it.
Spreadsheets are a terrible way to make web-sites, though.
One of the bits I agree about, is that we should be very wary that we, developers, don't get replaced by one.
