alt Hacker NewsA good interviewer won’t be looking for a single solution to the problem. I’d expect them to entertain the Google Sheets answer - it’s good signal that the candidate will consider what already exists in the world. I’d rather extend the problem: the team is spending considerable time iterating with manual entry, what would you do?

The obvious way is to put the spreadsheet file on some shared network location.
You still need some "locking" mechanism so two people don't try editing at the same time.
Which again probably means Google Sheets is the best answer!
Complete agreement. "Excellent answer, that is what I would do as well, now what if we wanted to build it in-house?"
