Dehghani: Current Data Mesh setups are Frankenstein creations stitching existing tech
“At this point in time, it looks like a Frankenstein creation because we have to stitch together a lot of technologies that exist and they weren't designed for this model of reconfiguring, you know, being reconfigured in this way.”
Dehghani: Data engineering and data science will become basic engineering skills
“I think one of the big changes would be, we'll move from this specialized and specialization to generalization. So some of the things that we consider specialization today, like data engineering, a large portion of what we call data science becomes basic engin…”
