I just also still wish that many dashboards were less focused on "low-code" or "no-code" and embraced code, so that way we would have trackable systems for version control with auditable business logic.
Hopefully with the rise of an "Analytics Engineer" profession, this can hopefully push for "production" dashboards that can provide more complete tracking throughout the process, and easier customization. (I can copy and paste code easily, but Tableau has a lot of "weird" tricks)
So I could see that happening, but where causality actually goes the other way. For better or for worse, we tend to put a lot of value of technical skill. If making dashboards becomes technical (as opposed to dragy-droppy), we might start to celebrate it more - and therefore get better at it.
It's maybe a bit of perverse way to get there, but I could see it working.
Agree with everything you stated.
