The only push back I have is on: "dbt, you’re likely the infrastructure that will slow down AI development, not enable it." My thinking here is that a lot of these AI agents, at least right now, need a text/code-based representation of the world to work with. Sure an agent can query the schema and write some SQL, but there's a ton of context it would do well to have stored in tools like dbt.
That said, I don't know how well Codex / Claude Code would work with dbt Cloud or any other SaaS offering, so maybe you're right here.
I agree with the general thrust of the article.
