Why it matters for readers: Useful example of how simple engineering work and modern AI tools can change how teams consume data products.

  • A side project to host HTML files took an afternoon to build and after eight months had as many weekly users as the company’s Looker deployment.1
  • Looker usage at the company fell by around a third following the internal changes and new tooling.1
  • The team spends most of its time maintaining Snowflake, a dbt project of ~2,000 models, Airflow, Airbyte, DataHub and Kubernetes.1
  • Adoption of Claude Code with Opus 4.5 in early January materially improved internal tooling usefulness and drove faster uptake.1
