Andrew Jones, staff data engineer at LocalStack, returns to the Data Playbook podcast to make the case that giving business teams raw access to company data was never enough. The real fix is data contracts, tooling built around how producer teams already work, and platforms with guardrails baked in rather than bolted on through review.
Jones and host Kris Peeters, CEO of Dataminded, cover a data platform that failed because it forced producers into unfamiliar tooling, and the one that replaced it by meeting those same teams where they already worked. They also dig into where self-service stops, why so many data teams hold onto being the bottleneck, and what happens to data semantics once AI agents start asking the questions people used to ask. Jones tells the story of an internal chatbot that gave him a feature-usage number he knew, on instinct, had to be wrong.
