What analytics engineering is and why analysts need it
After this you can explain what analytics engineering is, where it sits between data engineering and analysis, and which of its practices you should adopt.
Why it matters
Analytics engineering applies software practices (version control, testing, code review, documentation, modularity) to analytical SQL. Whether or not your title changes, adopting these practices is what makes your work dependable enough for others to build on. The trap is seeing it as someone else's job; the analyst who understands the models under their dashboards catches errors nobody else can.
