Retool Engineering with Snir Kodesh

Retool is a company that allows customers to build complex internal tools using a high level GUI. Users configure the relationships between these different tools, giving them the ability to build applications even without much background in engineering. Of course, having some engineering expertise helps, as users can write JavaScript to interact with the higher level components. Snir Kodesh is the head of engineering at Retool, and he previously worked at Lyft as a director of engineering. He joins the show to talk about his work at Retool, how it compares to Lyft engineering, and the lower level challenges of building the platform.
