@ludicity reading https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/the-failed-commodification-of-technical-work/ made me recall a previous employers use and celebration of pentaho data integration. It seemed to be sold as a way to commodify data analysis. You could take "non coders" and have them use this GUI app to basically code badly. Because in order to accomplish anything even remotely useful the user would need to understand looping and conditionals and basically... how to program.

And this resulted in absolute monstrosities of non version controlled (or even controllable!) ... things.
