How data engineering fails – Datanova 2023

Benn Stancil is a cofounder and Chief Analytics Officer at Mode, a modern BI platform that is designed for data teams. Benn also regularly writes about data and technology at benn.substack.com. At Datanova, Benn will explore what, if anything, might slow the meteoric rise of data and analytics engineering. Over the last several years, these roles have become the new must-hire experts and must-have jobs, and the success of the industry’s standout companies—Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran—now seems all but inevitable. But could the music stop? Benn will explore a world where we aren’t at the beginning of a data revolution, but as the peak of its popularity, and where we remember data engineering not as an enduring career, but as a passing fad.
