From Excel to IDE and beyond: The origins and future of the data developer

Data teams aren't only working in Excel and Tableau anymore. We're working in GitHub, VSCode, BigQuery, and our command line. We have the modern data pipeline and we're developing a lot more like engineers...but our development workflows are anything but modern. Why don't we get developer previews? Or the ability to test our changes to anything downstream of dbt? Why do our tools not talk to each other? We believe that analytics engineers deserve better and we want to show you what "better data development" could look like in the modern data pipeline (we promise, it's really nice).
