What unexpected ways do companies use Airtable aside from typical use cases?

Guest: Yeah, that's interesting. That makes sense because I feel like I learned how to use Airtable at a previous company. And then, now I'm doing this and it's like, Airtable is probably one of the very first tools I started using because I needed forms, I need this little database of our members, a couple of other basic things.

And then over time, yeah some of those have been replaced by specialty SaaS tools but it still exists, I still use it.

So, it's a cool way to prototype out your own little thing but then it's like you do hit this threshold where it's like, "Should I build a fancy, no code job board or maybe get a developer to help me do it? Or should I just pay $99 a month for a job board now that I know I want this thing?"

I feel like because I've used Airtable too probably also go back and forth between personal and professional use of it.

The thing I use Airtable for the most is a running log that I've been keeping for three or four years. Everything's in one place, it's all sorted by week and month and by activity and you can add up distance and time and all these other things and sweet.

I mean, I literally go in every single day and update something in there. But yeah, I guess I learned how to do it with my last company first before adopting that.

But I could see that people would maybe do something like that and then be like, "Oh, maybe we should use this at work too."
