I'm not sure this is accurate. To the extent that a data project is underspecified (which, let's be honest, all projects are) then the engineers will end up making some decision somewhere that may have an impact on what's available for analysis.
If the engineers have some understanding of project motivation and hypotheses then they'll make better decisions.
- nerdponx 3y agoI think you're both saying the same thing. Data engineers don't need to be able to also do all of the data science, but they should know enough to make good decisions about data projects.
