In this episode of The Neuron podcast, David Hsu, CEO of Retool, discusses the rise of non-engineers building production software using platforms like Retool. He shares findings from a recent survey indicating that nearly half of non-engineers are shipping production software, driven by increased technical literacy and AI tools. David explains how Retool enables "vibe coding" on top of existing data sources with enterprise-level security and reliability. The conversation explores the impact of AI on productivity, the shift in the role of engineers, and the potential for AI-driven automation to transform the labor market.
