Is expertise no longer required?
I have been working with Power BI since 2016–17.
Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time developing skills like writing efficient Power Query transformations, building complex DAX measures, optimizing reports, and generally getting better at Power BI.
Now, a new joiner in the same role can use AI and solve a lot of these problems in a fraction of the time.
Again, this is not a rant against AI. I’m actually curious about how others are thinking about this.
Is it still relevant to spend hours developing deep Power BI skills and getting really good at things like Power Query and DAX?
If AI can increasingly handle the technical execution, what should people like us focus on instead?
What skills do you think we should be developing next to stay relevant?
