But engineers using AI will.\"In Season 4, Episode 2, we sit down with Julian [add last name + role] to unpack what's actually changing in data engineering — and what's about to disappear.We get into:→ Why dashboards as we know them are dying (and what replaces them) → Does AI really need a semantic layer? Julian's answer might surprise you → The low-code trap quietly racking up tech debt across data teams → Where AI is genuinely useful today: tech debt, testing, and data governance → The one skill that still matters most when AI can write the code → A spicy closing question for the next guest about cloud cost⏱ Chapters 00:00 — Intro 01:30 — Julian's path into data 04:00 — The career pivot that changed everything 07:30 — How his team is adopting AI (and who resists) 10:00 — Does AI need a semantic layer? 13:00 — Local models are closer than you think 15:30 — Where AI is actually working: tech debt, tests, governance 19:00 — What the data industry is getting completely wrong 23:00 — The belief Julian held 3 years ago that's now wrong 26:00 — A question for the next guest","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/xgXVGcsFpUuhsJlxMCRZwqhpuxNE7qbc38aGbuHSHKI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hN2Y2/NWIxZjQwZTNjMWEx/MWU2ODE1NzE4N2Yx/ODY3Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
