Kind of amazing Airtable couldn’t turn vibe coding in Airtable itself into something worth charging for.

But they have had a distinct lack of imagination for a very long time.

On top of that, isn't Bending Spoons famous for enshittify anything they buy to squeeze every single cent they can? Meaning that their fame would push even more companies/people to do a vibecoded replacement with just the features they need.

Their MO is switching to maintenance mode and running services with skeleton crew. I am not sure if it will work in area exposed to AI, where everyone is by now used to monthly updates and quarterly product releases.

Bending Spoons are all in on AI development. Look at Komoot’s release cadence but also the skyrocketing number of bug reports in the Komoot subreddit.

There is a lot of inertia to overcome to migrate away from a product like this. My guess is they will be able to milk this for a long time.

Doesn't matter, has to last and pump the bending stock for the next years, products and money don't matter.
