Found this Benn Stancil post. It's wrestling something that I've felt for a while. Creating an "analytics engineer" was a mistake. AE is too narrow a role. They're getting squeezed on budget 'cuz their cost > value. AEs are flailing to find something.. reverse ETL, data products, semantic layers.
Disband the analytics team
I mean, no, surely not. But maybe?

Today I lost my wallet (or was pick pocketed) and someone went on a shopping spree with my credit cards.. So I went on full detective mode! Story time I went to Barry's Bootcamp in the Marina this morning. Wallet in my sweater. Drove him, not realizing it was missing. 1:16pm, I get a text.
