A lot of my work in retool has to do with refactoring away old hacks and building maintainable, performant and more stable replacements- deprecated the old containers and implemented a new primitives to support multi-view etc.- cleaned up and fixed a ton of layout bugs - after which we didn't need any more major initiatives to deal with layout bugs- added support for nesting list views in retool- led the effort to rewrite the retool core runtime (a performance and stability project that most thought impossible to ship) with a task force and delivered it without causing major outages- prototyped some LLM app gen ideas, some of which was incorporated into the product- implemented the new retool vector feature across the stack- mentored a couple of other engineers to ship a new version of list view with vastly improved performance
