The data warehouse is not dead. But it is unrecognizable.

The data warehouse is not dead. But it is unrecognizable.

Something quietly crossed a threshold in 2025: AI stopped being a tool that helps developers write code and started becoming a system that does software engineering. Not autocomplete. Not a smarter Stack Overflow. An agent — one that reads your codebase, plans changes, writes tests, runs them, debugs failures, and opens a pull request.

There’s a new phrase circulating in engineering teams: vibe coding. The term, coined by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, describes a mode of programming where you describe what you want in natural language, let an AI generate the code, and intervene only when something breaks. You’re not writing code line-by-line. You’re steering.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the backbone of most production AI applications. Knowledge bases, document Q&A, code search, customer support — if your application needs to answer questions about specific content, RAG is usually how you do it.

Shipping LLM-powered features is now table stakes. The hard part isn’t getting a prototype working — it’s knowing whether your model is performing well, catching regressions before users do, and maintaining quality as you iterate on prompts and models.
