It's a little scary.

I really think the era of engineers, hands-on keyboard coding applications is so clearly over.

You are almost the API, if that makes sense.

It's like you are doing the grunt work of schlepping the data back and forth.

Could there be a world where half of us are unemployed, actually, because our job has been automated by AI?

I think probably the next 18, 24 months of these non-engineers building these automations of software that will lead us there.

So Retool is an enterprise AppGen platform.

The idea is that we allow tomorrow's developers, which I'll explain in a second, to go build production software on top of their data.

That's awesome.

Yeah, so it is actually some people from accounting.

I would say that what we've noticed over the last few years here at Retool is the number of non-engineers using our platform to build software has steadily increased and actually really sharply increased over the last few months.

But if you look back, I think, four to five years, actually, Retool was entirely built for engineers.

It was a platform that you kind of needed to know how to code in order to use it.

You needed to know how to write SQL.

You needed to know JavaScript in order to go use the platform.

And I think over the past five, six years, there's been a trend towards people becoming a bit more technical.

So you see, for example, people working in revenue operations and even people operations in the finance department, being able to learn a little bit of SQL, maybe be able to hack together a little bit of JavaScript.
