Hi all, I’m a YC founder and former Opendoor engineering manager. I’ve been thinking about the next wave of no-code interfaces – so far we’ve got connectors, databases, and interface builders. what about data engineering? EDA, ETL, DWH – as best practices for data and data stacks stabilize, the next step will be automation and abstraction. One such tool I’m thinking about is a Jupyter notebook with spreadsheet formulas rather than Python. Reach out if interested in chatting!

One framing of this set of tools I’ve thought about is migration vs lock-in. If its easy to migrate (data, automations, configuration) between no- and low-code apps, then it could remove one part of the fear that enterprises might have in using them to get started.

(A spreadsheet formula is code. Spreadsheeting is programming. Maybe "no code" isn't want you truly want.)

We have always jokingly referred to it as “know code” programming.

How about Fx-code?

Hi! I'm very curious what you're thinking for abstracting data engineering, so definitely up for a chat.
