Caitlin Colgrove is the CTO of Hex, the data workspace for building and sharing data projects using SQL and Python that somehow counts a Sweetgreen chef as a power user. She joins Michael, Hadley, and Isabel to talk about what AI agents actually get wrong in data work (it's not the hallucinations, it's supreme overconfidence), why data teams aren't going anywhere, and how she thinks about building products for humans and agents at the same time.

What's inside

• What Hex's Context Studio does, and why it's a data team's new job
• More code is now written in Hex by agents than by humans
• "My job is to vouch for the correctness of the answer" — redefining the data team
• The vibe-coded CEO PR is coming for your data team (if it hasn’t already)
• Soulsborne games as couple's therapy, aka, the Elden Ring co-op report
