Excellently put David! I feel like you've put words to many of the issues I've felt (but often failed to identify) in prior projects and work. I think this is a nice complement to Katie's post as well, and you do a great job framing the other side of the equation. Ultimately, the best data orgs are the ones who both advocate for themselves, and have the best partners.
I also appreciate the notes you made about practitioners rarely being the best in all areas of data, and about the importance of infrastructure work. Hopefully those can be more talked about over the coming years.
