HN discussionThis is good. Although when I think of a cookbook, I'm mostly interested in some re-usable snippets of codes that can be used again and again. A good example would be Chris Albon's site https://chrisalbon.com For eg: - a recipe for splitting comma separated values in a column into multiple rows or - a data cleaning recipe that removes all unwanted spaces/trailing newlines/punctuations I've searched but never come ac…

on “Data Engineering Cookbook”Also, I love the cookbooks that Chris Albon put together https://chrisalbon.com/ I make especially heavy use of the data wrangling recipes everytime I can't figure out how to do something in pandas.
