Cool. But honestly all you need is mcp, a semantic layer and let your team run their analysis. Then use something like evidence for bi reporting via duck db. Costs almost nothing.

Your comment reminds me of this one about Dropbox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

As a data generalist in an business, it makes zero sense for me to spend my time building a it tool like Hex when I can buy one and spend my time actually moving the needle on business outcomes.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I think you make a good point. Just because something _could_ be vibe-coded doesn't mean it should. You have to factor in maintenance, deployments etc.

However, I'd argue that BI tooling could "dissolve away" altogether. As long as you have queryable data, an intermediate BI tool is unnecessary - just one-shot whatever dashboard you're interested in seeing...
