No. You get a working system you built and deployed. That's what matters.

Pipeline Punks teaches you to build systems yourself through labs,
workshops, and cohorts. You write the code, you deploy it, you understand how it works.
True North Data Strategies implements those same systems for your company
as production-grade delivery. We build it, we deploy it, we maintain it.
Tier 1 labs and workshops: Basic programming skills (can read and write code, understand functions and APIs).
Tier 2-3 and cohorts: Intermediate+ (have built and deployed systems before, comfortable with version control and cloud platforms).
Labs include async support via GitHub Issues. Post questions, get guidance, debug together. Response time: within 24 hours on business days. If you need more intensive support, consider a workshop or cohort instead.
