Announcing the "St. Albnas" Hackathon! Clean some data, win $20 of swag.

Hey DEV Community!

We're excited to announce the "St. Albnas" Hackathon! Clean some data, have some fun, win some swag.

If you work with data at all, you've probably seen the St. Albnas meme originally shared by Adam Sroka.

Various misspellings of "St. Albans"

We decided to have some fun with it and run a li'l hackathon.

If you can write some code to successfully converge all the inaccurate spellings of St. Albans to the correct spelling - while avoiding false positives - we'll send you a code to get $20 in free Tinybird swag.

Here's how to do it

⭐️ Star and fork the repo
🧑🏽‍💻 Write some code to clean the data
📩 Submit a PR by 5 PM on Friday Jul 21
🐦 Follow Tinybird on Twitter or LinkedIn
📣 Share your submission on social media using the hashtag #stalbnashackathon (notice the intentional misspelling! 🤪) and tag Tinybird!

Full rules are in the GitHub repo

This is just for fun. No winners and losers. Just free swag for giving it a go.

But just to incentivize the competitors, we'll post the final leaderboard after it's all over.

What are you waiting for? Clone the repo and get going!
