It's the difference between Architects and Draftsmen. We still need the former, but the latter is gone, replaced by Solidworks, AutoCAD, and digital plotters or large-format printers.
Is it? I don’t really hire for analysts anymore because you can mostly just expose chat with your data mcp tools that end users can use and that gets you 80% of the way there. The person who puts together dashboards and writes sql against the star schema is pretty much a thing of the past.
Data engineers, on the other hand… way more relevant than ever before
