The process of moving raw data into a warehouse before transforming it — one of the four highest-value use cases for data agents.Engineer vs. CoderEngineers are system architects — they decide what to build, how components fit together, what problems the architecture needs to solve. Coders implement those specifications. The distinction matters because coders can increasingly be replaced by AI that executes specifications quickly and cheaply; architects cannot. Founders who staff with coders instead of engineers get fast execution without coherent architecture. The correct hire for a technical team is engineering judgment, not implementation capacity.
