This article comes at the perfect time, you realy nail the core challenge facing data engineering right now. It makes me wonder what the next big leap in autonomous pipeline generation will look like?
Thanks a lot — I’m glad the timing resonated! And you’re absolutely right: we’re standing at the edge of the next major leap in how data systems build and maintain themselves.
I believe the next wave of autonomous pipeline generation will go beyond simply writing code or fixing errors. It will look more like intent-driven engineering, where you describe the business outcome and the system designs the data flow, chooses the optimal architecture, enforces governance, and continuously adapts based on real-time behavior. In other words, pipelines won’t just run themselves — they’ll reason about themselves.
Curious to hear your take: what part of the pipeline lifecycle do you think AI will transform first?
