> A common pattern I’ve seen over the years have been folks in engineering leadership positions that are not super comfortable with extracting and interpreting data from stores
I think this extends beyond just engineering, and I wish more data teams made the raw data (or at least some clean, subset) more readily available for folks across organizations to explore. I've been part of orgs where I had access to read-only replicas, and I quickly got comfortable querying and analyzing data on my own, and I've been part of other orgs where everything had to go through the data team, and I had to be spoon-fed all the data and insights.
