Snowflake is the future. We shouldn't be writing code at all, we should be throwing data into a big hole in the ground and then querying the hole, or attaching a query to the hole so as data goes in the query does something wjth it, and chaining those queries. The fact that anyone is writing anything more complex than SQL to do this is a failure of imagination. Snowflake is intended to remove all the unnecessary engineering from you just putting data somewhere and doing something useful with it easily.
