Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
I started https://github.com/thbar/kiba#kiba-etl to scratch my own itch & be able to write properly structured ETL jobs in Ruby. It was a blank-slate rewrite of something larger (activewarehouse-etl) which I could not maintain anymore.
This landed me not strictly a job, but long term consulting gigs with a number of companies in EU, UK & US.
The job was directly related to the project: companies wanted the expertise of data engineering & ETL, often with Kiba directly, but also in general.
This "side project" was totally worth it :-)

Ruby's Hash Is a Swiss-Army Knife
Definitely! As a matter of fact, this is the default data structure I use when writing Ruby ETL code (e.g. https://github.com/thbar/kiba/wiki).
Methods like "except" (https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.2/Hash.html#method-i-except) or "fetch" (raising an error on missing key) are very convenient to write defensive data processing code!
Similarly, in Elixir, I use Maps a lot for the same type of jobs (https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.15.4/Map.html), with similar properties.

Thinking in learn Ruby
Ruby has a very cool ETL library named Kiba that fits wonderfully with Ruby's strengths.
- What ETL tool do you use?

Massive SQL import from csv file, nulls, best practices.
Though it might be overkill for your problem, but have you had a look at [kiba-etl](https://github.com/thbar/kiba/blob/master/README.md)?
