It’s only a matter of time before dbt Labs stops supporting dbt Core. It makes no sense for a company to develop the same product twice.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I'm also planning an analytics agent for Q3. Do you have any suggestions or tips on how to implement it? ATM I'm leaning towards AWS AgentCore to minimize maintenance overhead.

I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important From this interview with @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/tdd-ai-age...
So you can think really big thoughts and the leverage of having those big thoughts has just suddenly expanded enormously. I had this tweet two years ago where I said "90% of my skills just went to zero dollars and 10% of my skills just went up 1000x". And this is exactly what I'm talking about - having a vision, being able to set milestones towards that vision, keeping track of a design to maintain or control the levels of complexity as you go forward. Those are hugely leveraged skills now compared to knowing where to put the amperands and the stars and the brackets in Rust.

No signs of an end to rapid gains in AI ability at ever-decreasing costs, yet I did my best to update my chart to take into account the price drop in o3 & new models released by Google GPT-4 was released 2.25 ago, so its worth noting the trend when considering the future of AI capabilities & cost
