> I come into this game with the mindset that I don’t care how long it takes me to build this product, but if I have a clean slate, how would I build this product? This is a fun way to think.

Building data pipelines takes a lot of work and involves a lot of pieces, so it's a worthy problem. As the article states, there is a lot of competition, not just in the individual pieces like dbt and Fivetran, but from similar-minded orchestrators like Mozart Data and others.
