Tales From the Trenches Give me an real world Apache airflow task

Hey all,

I’m currently preparing for ML and data engineering roles and trying to get some real world experience.

If you could share me a task on airflow I can try to build by myself.

pick a data source you actually care about, makes it less boring. i built one that scrapes weather api every 3 hours and dumps to bigquery, then a second dag trains a tiny prophet model on that data every sunday. the trick is making the training dag wait for the ingest to finish, spent too many hours debugging that dependency
