How about… 3D spreadsheets, man. You finish tallying up all your credits and debits, and then wham! You’re sprung into another dimension. It’s Google Tensorsheets, man, Microsoft won’t even know what hit them.

This is what got me into programming way back when. I was a recruiter and doing things in spreadsheets, and I was like, I need a way to link data in a 3rd dimension, not just on the x and y axis. And then I was like actually if 3 dimensions why not 4 or more? So I asked on like, stackoverflow or something, do spreadsheets like that exist, and someone answered "you're basically describing a database with linking between tables," which led to me rabbitholing, learning more, getting into programming, and changing careers.
