Back in 2014 I was contracted to do spreadsheet devops when a similar spreadsheet went rogue and cost the company some 10m dollars: It stopped updating exchange rates because yahoo finance did something with their API.

Wouldn't this same problem arise if you used a "real" programming language and not a spreadsheet?
