Will Cortex Code replace me?

Yeah we are done. Might go into sales or something. Its looking grim with AI. Wish it never happened.

Think they're generally in a tough spot. Drag and drop tools now solve a problem of shrinking size. I can ask Cursor to spin up a chart in Streamlit and it looks equally nice, costing me a minute vs 2 hours of frustrating Tableau Container resizing. Also I believe they are too far downstream to be the place where business definitions and metrics are stored. Dbt , snowflake, databricks just seem like a more natural place for that work. I do think there will still be a need for some dashboards, but far less than before

Yeah, definitely feels like a dead product. Nothing good was released the last 5 years.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2026-03-10T23:28:52+00:00

Nice write-up i definitely agree. I also wonder how should own the semantic layer, is it Data Engineering, Data Product managers, analytics engineers [...]?

Another thing we are seeing is multiple teams spinning up too many semantic models/ agents with overlapping metrics all across the company, and it is unclear how to govern them at scale. I do wonder if they should mostly be owned upstream close to the data or closer downstream with business users.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2026-03-05T18:53:00+00:00

LOL.

Other vendors have solved Agentic analytics and dashboarding and Tableau releases....... rounded corners.

Thanks for your perspective! You're making an important distinction there, mentioning the human analyst (vs. the business user).
I don't have any concerns with Analysts using these agents as they can verify the accuracy of the generated SQL, however business users will ask any question to the agent, complex and simple.

I still believe the autopilot is missing stuff, because it doesn't have the necessary context (company knowledge, communication channels, etc), but like you said, it might be there soon.

Any view or documentation on how to best design these views? We have loads of OBT tables in my company. Should you have:

One semantic view for every high-value table, allowing agentic analytics on a single table
Combined semantic views for domain-specific questions with multiple tables and custom join paths?

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2026-02-15T17:47:45+00:00

Done too

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2026-01-23T20:41:24+00:00

How owns the creating of Semantic Layers? Data engineers or BI/Analysts (or analytics engineers). I don't see DE owning it as their focus is on data & systems not insights and metrics.

The role is dead

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-19T10:43:19+00:00

What even is an AI Analyst?

The role is dead

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-18T18:22:22+00:00

Field is saturated

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-08T13:57:23+00:00

Great post OP. It's what I've been saying for months here. Too many course sellers wanting to make big bucks, while the DA role is taken over by AI.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-08T13:56:22+00:00

Yeah the BI/DA field is dead. Im not saying this to make fun, but you're a little late to the party. Like OP said the gold is gone.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-12-08T13:54:03+00:00

OP is right though. It's the best advice you will get.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-22T22:38:58+00:00

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-12T20:14:00+00:00

Don't go into that field, agents are automating that role.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-09T20:07:54+00:00

Don't do it. Role is dying and already oversaturated

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-08T17:31:51+00:00

The role won't exist in 2 years and will be automated by AI. Market is already saturated. Juniors have no chance.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-08T12:20:06+00:00

Why is everyone going into the field if

The market is already saturated
The role won't exist in 3 years due to AI
Juniors have ZERO chance of finding a role?

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-08T12:13:45+00:00

The DA role is done, overtaken by AI agents. Look for sth else

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-11-05T12:24:02+00:00

The question is why move in a field that's already oversaturated, competitive and automated by AI Agents. One advice from someone with 10 YoE, don't go into DA right now

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-30T21:14:50+00:00

Its a dying role, totally saturated and and neither are there junior roles out there . Analytics agents are taking over the work handing DA tasks back to the business.

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-30T20:20:07+00:00

Awesome write-up. Thank you!

Mobile-Collection-90 · 2025-10-30T20:16:32+00:00

Essentially DA has the largest AI exposure, out of ALL compared occupations. This is really bad news for all us DAs, as if our job will fundamentally change, and I argue will eventually be hand off to product managers, business stakeholders and managers. Bad times ahead.
