Cofounder, Plotly

Search every verified Jack Parmer interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Jack Parmer, cofounder of Plotly and product strategy advisor at Domino Data Lab, has discussed the value of a code-first approach to data science. In a 2023 interview, he described code-first analysis as working directly in languages such as Python, R, or MATLAB, which he said offers flexibility and creativity, while low-code tools combine coding with graphical interfaces to assist users. He also noted that Domino Data Lab has focused on bringing code-first data science to large enterprises by relying on open-source standards familiar to data scientists, and he predicted more low-code accelerators that ultimately lead to code-first results. Earlier, as CEO of Plotly, Parmer spoke about the company’s growth and strategy. In a 2018 interview, he said Plotly’s charting libraries were used by data science teams at companies like Tesla, and that the company had passed 3,000 cloud customers with a focus on content marketing and documentation rather than paid advertising. He also mentioned that many customers, including those in aerospace and finance, preferred on-premise deployments for security reasons. In a 2014 talk, Parmer discussed the increasing use of JavaScript in scientific and industrial settings, citing his own experience building internal dashboards at a solar cell plant and highlighting the interactivity that web-based plotting tools offer compared to traditional scientific software.
