When I was 14 or 15, my dad paid me to do work for him over the summer. He was in real estate and wanted to have a file/database entry for each of the floorplans and properties he was selling or building. Because I was so young, I used Access to create a CRUD app of sorts that kept details on all his projects. He used it for years. It’s embarrassing for me to admit how long it took me to make the connections between what I did in Access (and later FileMaker) and MySQL and other database systems. When I look back, I’m half-annoyed with myself for not just using a better SQL tool, but I’m equally pleased/impressed with what I built as a kid. Airtable is probably the closest we have to “modern” Access - but I agree with the other comments that point out the value and potential of these types of tools.
