I'm sorry, I didn't get it... i'm not a bot.... I'm a real human
Apologies, it sounded you were rambling a bit. Had to make sure.
The statement "dbt - code is done via VSCode" I found weird. I have used dbt but never VSCode.
Ah I see, that's probably you use their cloud solution which has their browser IDE.... They too have a VSCode extension. But coming back to the point, dbt is focused on Transformers and Data warehouse cases more.... the use case I described didn't fit with dbt's solutioning....
