TIP:
If you want to be invited early into the community, help us see you're a real human behind your X account by
> using a profile pic
> adding your name
> including your LinkedIn profile in your bio (recommended)
If your account doesn't have any of these, we'll assume it might be a bot/burner account and will be prioritized last when we send the invites -
This is only so we can build, study and learn together as a community without interference from spam, trolls or bots - we want to protect this space as much as we can, thanks for cooperating โจ
Does the economy need to collapse first before everyone realizes modern universities/colleges have evolved into a scam??
They promise to prepare millions of young people for employment, then deliver this -
1.2M grads competing for just 17k roles in the UK...this year alone...
If you're planning on becoming another one of these grads, the only guarantee you'll find after graduating is a lower chance of employment.
I'll make this clear:
Spend 3 years of your life with them, and you'll join this number.
Spend 1 year of your life with me, and you'll be in data.
Their time is up, you can sink with them, or sail with us.
Pick a choice you're happy to live with for the next decade coming.
But choose fast.

Building in public can take you to the next level.
Iโm one month into my data engineering journey.
One month of sharing what I learn.
One month of building projects publicly.
And already, an opportunity has presented itself.
๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต.
Thatโs the power of being visible. Thatโs what happens when you share your journey instead of hiding until youโre โready.โ
๐๐ฒ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฑ. Tell the world who you are.
Share your wins. Share your struggles. Share what youโre building.
The right people are watching. The right opportunities are coming.
But they canโt find you if youโre silent.
Lock in. Build. Share. Repeat.
I canโt wait for 2026. Weโre making millions.
Whoโs building in public with me?

Yesterday I planned. Today I built.
Built my first ETL pipeline using Python and SQL to pull live Premier League data from a REST API.
And it works. ๐งต
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐
ETL Pipeline: REST API โ Python โ SQL Database
Used [https://t.co/GqITGttdcw](https://t.co/GqITGttdcw) API to pull current Premier League standings.
Parsed the JSON response in Python.
Loaded it into my SQL Server database.
Live. Premier. League. Standings. In my own database.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฑ
Set up my environment using Git Bash.
Created .env file to keep sensitive credentials secure.
Built https://t.co/4SCjkHFpcU for the ETL logic.
Set up .gitignore to protect sensitive data.
Used a test notebook to validate everything worked.
Connected to the API. Extracted data. Transformed it. Loaded it into SQL.
The full cycle. Start to finish.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐น๐
At the end, I pulled the current 2024-25 Premier League standings into my database.
20 teams. All their stats. Goals, points, position - everything.
Queried it from SQL. Saw the data. It worked.
This is my first real data engineering project. And it combines two things I love - data and football.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐
This isnโt a tutorial project. This is real data engineering.
Real API. Real data. Real database. Real pipeline.
I can now:
- Extract data from any REST API
- Transform JSON into usable formats
- Load data into SQL databases
- Automate the entire process
This is what data engineering looks like in practice. And I just did it.
๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐
Stop waiting for the perfect project. Build something you care about.
Secure your credentials. Always use .env files.
Test everything before committing. Notebooks save time.
When your project combines passion with learning, motivation becomes easy.
๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ.
Cheers to more growth. Cheers to building.
What was your first real project?
Thank you @sdw_online for the guide. Youโre amazing
