Charles Giardina recently presented a viewpoint suggesting that the role of Data Engineers is becoming obsolete due to advancements in data movement interfaces, such as ELT (Extract, Load, Transform). He highlighted the historical context from ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) to ELT and how it has evolved over time.

His vision suggests a positive-sum outcome for both Data Engineers and the data ecosystem as a whole.
