← This weekCommunityData engineering & the warehouse/lakehouseAzureDatabricksA data engineer with 4.5 years of experience on Azure and Databricks questions the necessity of mastering agentic AI workflows, like custom skills and orchestrators, given their focus on designing business solutions rather than coding.
MyDataWork POV — For data engineers entrenched in platforms like Databricks, the urgency to master agentic AI isn't universal. If your work leans heavily on solution design rather than raw coding, the immediate need to dive into agentic AI workflows might be overstated. However, staying informed about these tools could offer a competitive edge in roles that demand more automation. Consider it a strategic skill rather than a core requirement, unless your role evolves towards AI-centric tasks.
