I’m not him, but I’ve started using them to do the analysis (SQL, Python etc.) and then output the report as Quarto HTML which can be hosted on GitHub Pages. It works well for this analysis style work.

Once I was going to send some figures to leadership so I checked the queries myself and not only had it done it correctly, but it had also included a lot of sanity checks with other places in the database which as a human I doubt I’d have had the time or inclination to do.

Even for modelling work it can be good to check your ETL queries, or write one itself and then check it etc.
