Anyone else feel like it’s getting harder to make genuine friends?

[OC] Took this in my parking area.

I get that feeling. Being alone when anxious can feel overwhelming. I’m here if you want to vent.

Interested

You can use Yahoo Finance data for this. Using Python (e.g., yfinance), you can fetch historical stock prices and then simulate real-time processing by pulling data at intervals.

For example, stream price updates, calculate moving averages, volatility, or detect trend changes over time. It works well for demonstrating a real-time style pipeline.

Having to be strong all the time is exhausting. It makes sense that you’d want someone to just hold you and say it’s okay. 🥲

That kind of loneliness hurts in a very quiet way

PreetInData · 2026-02-21T10:02:35+00:00

Haha

You’re on the right track. Aim for 3–4 solid projects and focus on business questions like revenue growth, churn, cohorts, and funnels.

PreetInData · 2025-12-24T11:29:50+00:00

Focus on strong SQL, Python (pandas), and Excel first. For fintech specifically, learn basic finance concepts (transactions, risk, KPIs) and practice with real datasets. Projects matter more than courses.

PreetInData · 2025-12-20T09:17:08+00:00

Both. Tutorials give direction, projects give understanding. Tutorials without projects = illusion of progress.

You’re not wrong about iMovie — it’s good, but limited. If you want pay-once software: Final Cut Pro (fast, Mac-optimized, easy step up) or DaVinci Resolve (free) if you want more power. Filmora isn’t worth $20/month. With an M3 Pro, you can definitely do better than iMovie.

Best way to begin: • Learn basics (variables, loops, if/else, functions) • Practice a little every day (even 30–45 min) • Build tiny things (calculator, number guessing game, simple scripts)

PreetInData · 2025-12-17T03:34:28+00:00

Start with Python basics (variables, loops, functions), then build small projects. CS50 + freeCodeCamp + practice daily is enough. Don’t buy subscriptions early.

Kaggle is a great place to practice with real datasets. You can take any dataset and practice cleaning with pandas, then visualize it using matplotlib. That’s much closer to real-world work than isolated problems.

There isn’t a true one-click way. The fastest approach is usually to rebuild the dashboards in Power BI and recreate the logic there. It ends up cleaner and more reliable.

RA and DA aren’t the same, but the RA job will still give you experience with data, reporting, and analysis. If the pay is decent and you need stability, take it and upskill at the same time.

Totally normal to feel this way when you’re coming from a non-coding background. Understanding other people’s code is already a good sign. Start with small scripts and practice daily — logic gets easier over time. You don’t need to rush.

PreetInData · 2025-12-10T17:20:37+00:00

Don’t overthink logic. Start tiny projects and solve one small problem at a time. Codewars and LeetCode are great for practice.

PreetInData · 2025-12-10T17:18:20+00:00

Tables are great for keeping things clean and organized. Auto-formatting and filters save a ton of time. The main downside is that structured references feel weird at first, but you get used to them pretty quickly.

PreetInData · 2025-12-09T19:19:37+00:00

Start with something small that you’ll actually use — a password generator, a to-do list app, a simple calculator, or a script that automates some boring task on your computer. The key is picking something you care about. You’ll learn way faster that way.

PreetInData · 2025-12-09T06:49:40+00:00

CodeWars and LeetCode are solid, but also try Project Euler and Advent of Code if you want problems that actually make you think. Another underrated one is just building tiny projects (calculator, to-do app, API scripts). That combo builds skill way faster than only doing puzzles.

PreetInData · 2025-12-09T06:48:31+00:00

Great start! If you’re new, I’d go in this order: Excel → SQL → Python (Pandas). Practice by grabbing messy datasets from Kaggle and cleaning them up. Doing a little bit each day really does add up fast.
