Maybe. On the one side you have something like dbt or Moosestack. On the other hand analytics and data pipelining is still a lot of no code tooling and I doubt it will go away. However I would love to learn more about how other people use coding agents to do DE tasks.

In Snowflake, I am now writing Python Stored Procedures that make REST API calls to things like Datadog REST API and dumping the JSON into a Snowflake table. I then unpack the JSON and transform it into a normalized table. So far it works reasonably well. This is possible using Snowflake's external access feature. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/external-netwo...

agreed on the presence and stickiness of no-code tooling. but in a future where we want to enable LLMs and agents to do as much of that work as possible, a code-first approach seems far more likely to make that effective. not just because agents are better are writing code than clicking through interfaces (maybe that will change as agents evolve?), but because the SDLC is valuable for agents for the same reasons it's valuable for human developers - collaboration, testing, auditing, versioning, etc.
