It's hard to completely get away from objects in Python, but I don't think that needs to be an objective to get away from OOP patterns. My suggestions would be: - Don't use classes…

Does it matter that dbt is written in Python? dbt models are still SQL at heart. Sure there's the addition of Jinja to enable references for data lineage and configuration, but it'…

Can you provide a link to your source on the 100k net worth figure?
