Thanks! I've found that the vast majority of software I get hired to write boils down to just a frontend to a database / spreadsheet, and the rest is just window dressing.


In the 90s there were a bunch of db/programming products like clarion, fox pro, and eventually access. It was surprising the stuff people made with them.

The cost model for stuff like airtable doesn’t lend itself to the same products.
