> Also didnt Airtable just layoff 230 people 4 months ago. now they're acquihiring?

What was the reason for the layoff? Layoffs often just mean something like "we overhired/overinvested in this area, and it turns out that area is less important to our strategy than we thought."

The pandemic/WFH was probably a boon for Airtable, as companies were learning new ways to collaborate. Hiring and firing can be highly cyclical or trendy (think of how many companies have desperately hired for AI roles in the past year).
