I am still not convinced that this is better than our custom built system actually, even if it brings some extra functionality (but you know, people want to try new tools all the time even if it is not bringing any value)


We try to custom make most systems we use with Airtable. Everything from our returns system, product development, order planning, marketing planning etc.

Hope you get some ideas with this post :)


Hey, I'm on the same boat as you, shoot me an email (check my profile), if you wish to exchange some experiences.

Best!


Sent you an email ;)


The thing is, if there is only 1-3 non-admin persons at a time having access to the chrome profile it is not much of a risk.

Say you have a small purchase department, you can have purchasing@company.com, for customer service cs@company.com, marketing@company.com for marketing.

It allows for faster onboarding. Even if it is just one person using the profile, it is better to make a general company chrome profile for many tasks since other people can take over the Chrome profile if a person leaves the company or changes position.

But yeah, there are some problems with the risk of exposing private passwords++


Same issue here


Not sure if you would call this "enterprise", but for fammesportswear.com, we use Airtable for documenting sample tests, custom system for return handling, maintaining list of suppliers etc.

One issue for us with Google form is that file uploads cannot be done by non-google accounts, this works well in Airtable.


I have bought both the Remarkable and all the Onyx Boox Max devices.

I ended up selling the Remarkable since I stopped using it after University.

For most textbooks a 13 inch e-reader is much better.


After using the Onyx boox max (all versions up to 3 which was released recently), I am convinced books will die.


Can you elaborate on your experience with it? Is that thing really worth €820? I like the idea of a giant e-reader but that’s really quite a lot of money for such a device.


For me it is worth it.

Made a review some time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5tIhuk8yAU

Only used to read technical stuff and I have not missed physical books.


Maybe a bit off topic, but a targeted cover letter for the specific job you are applying for is also important. I have a template in Latex that I have used on all jobs after university :)

I think his point is that if someone recommends something to others, the more money they earn for recommending it is proportional to how much that person would be willing to mislead potential buyers / not be totally honest / be biased.


There will always be a bias in any recommendation, no matter the agenda.

Someone who owns a Tesla and likes the experience , will most likely recommend it and can point point them to Tesla referral program (not sure if they still have it) - they will earn more than most of Amazon Referral fees, and it's most likely and honest recommendation. Though definitely biased.

Your only protection is to be aware of bias and do your own research if you are inclined to buy something recommended.

Or not, because that's why we turn to experts/influencers (no matter if it's a friend/family member/blogger/vlogger) in some matters you're not comfortable with or you don't care enough/don't want to put the time to research.

So yeah, I wish I had a fee for every sales made from friends/family/internet strangers that asked for my recommendation.


The road to hell is paved with good intentions.


And the road to mediocrity is paved with thought-terminating clichés.
