WEBVTT
1 00:00:25.600 ⇒ 00:00:26.610 Uttam Kumaran: Hey!
2 00:00:29.170 ⇒ 00:00:30.010 Uttam Kumaran: How’s everything?
3 00:00:31.130 ⇒ 00:00:34.959 Samuel Roberts: It’s going alright. It was nice to get back to the platform a little bit after all that ABC stuff.
4 00:00:36.700 ⇒ 00:00:40.410 Samuel Roberts: So it’s… it feels better to make a little progress there, at least.
5 00:00:41.580 ⇒ 00:00:42.350 Samuel Roberts: About you?
6 00:00:43.590 ⇒ 00:00:44.950 Uttam Kumaran: Things are good.
7 00:00:46.980 ⇒ 00:00:52.560 Uttam Kumaran: Today was supposed to be, like, a chill day, and then one of our clients, Urban Stems, like.
8 00:00:52.760 ⇒ 00:00:57.139 Uttam Kumaran: their Redshift cluster was, like, on fire, and I had to fix a bunch of stuff.
9 00:00:57.360 ⇒ 00:01:01.179 Uttam Kumaran: But, did I tell you we’re in talking to CES?
10 00:01:01.410 ⇒ 00:01:02.520 Uttam Kumaran: For a sales opportunity?
11 00:01:02.520 ⇒ 00:01:06.750 Samuel Roberts: I think… I think you mentioned something about that, either on the call or on the meeting last week, yeah.
12 00:01:06.750 ⇒ 00:01:11.140 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so I talked to their head of data, she’s new, and it went really, really well. She, like.
13 00:01:11.140 ⇒ 00:01:11.730 Samuel Roberts: Nice.
14 00:01:11.730 ⇒ 00:01:13.150 Uttam Kumaran: We got along, so…
15 00:01:13.360 ⇒ 00:01:22.119 Uttam Kumaran: I… that’s really great. They want to do a lot of, like, data work and some identity resolution for their conference, like, understanding their attendees better.
16 00:01:22.120 ⇒ 00:01:22.810 Samuel Roberts: Sure.
17 00:01:22.810 ⇒ 00:01:26.739 Uttam Kumaran: Stuff like that, so that’s really, really great. Also, she’s really interested in, like.
18 00:01:27.100 ⇒ 00:01:36.889 Uttam Kumaran: using AI on top of a lot of their data, trying to, like, replace some dashboards with more, like, co-pilots, so… because some people are going to dashboards just for lookups, and she’s like.
19 00:01:36.890 ⇒ 00:01:37.279 Samuel Roberts: Like, we can…
20 00:01:37.310 ⇒ 00:01:45.290 Uttam Kumaran: move a lot of that to Copilot, so that’s really good. It looks like Robert had another positive sales conversation, which is good.
21 00:01:45.290 ⇒ 00:01:45.630 Samuel Roberts: Cool.
22 00:01:45.630 ⇒ 00:01:51.000 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I just feel like I wanna… like, I just wish I had, like, some free time to just crush through, like.
23 00:01:51.190 ⇒ 00:01:54.029 Uttam Kumaran: some of these Daxter… I mean, I fixed some stuff in Daxter last week.
24 00:01:54.030 ⇒ 00:01:54.460 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
25 00:01:54.460 ⇒ 00:02:00.350 Uttam Kumaran: good. I feel like now I’m happy, like, I think everybody’s sort of on the same page of, like, cursor and things like that.
26 00:02:00.750 ⇒ 00:02:03.920 Uttam Kumaran: And then I wanna…
27 00:02:04.600 ⇒ 00:02:15.349 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I want to just get this monoreap out, because I want to start shipping some features myself, like, to make small tweaks and updates, and then, naturally, I think I will push
28 00:02:15.550 ⇒ 00:02:19.210 Uttam Kumaran: the AI team to sort of figure out, like, how can anyone develop on this?
29 00:02:19.210 ⇒ 00:02:19.950 Samuel Roberts: Right.
30 00:02:19.950 ⇒ 00:02:25.100 Uttam Kumaran: Like, if, for example, if I was to go to Amber and say, cool, here’s how you can go push a feature.
31 00:02:25.230 ⇒ 00:02:28.740 Uttam Kumaran: and I could go to Hannah, for example, like, that’s how I… that would be, like.
32 00:02:28.860 ⇒ 00:02:30.350 Uttam Kumaran: Out of this world, right?
33 00:02:30.660 ⇒ 00:02:33.820 Uttam Kumaran: If Justin or Hannah or Rico could, like.
34 00:02:33.820 ⇒ 00:02:36.920 Samuel Roberts: be like, I want this, like, how can they reasonably, like.
35 00:02:37.050 ⇒ 00:02:45.710 Uttam Kumaran: go through that development process, and it also helps us think about, like, how we can enable teams to use Cursor to develop full-stack apps, so…
36 00:02:45.940 ⇒ 00:02:49.749 Uttam Kumaran: What can I help with to help us, like, get that out, like…
37 00:02:49.750 ⇒ 00:02:52.200 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I mean, the QA testing was the big thing.
38 00:02:52.200 ⇒ 00:02:52.599 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool.
39 00:02:52.600 ⇒ 00:02:57.470 Samuel Roberts: I clicked around as much as I could, but I also, like, I didn’t even think of deleting a meeting, kind of thing, so I hadn’t even tested.
40 00:02:57.470 ⇒ 00:02:58.519 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41 00:02:58.520 ⇒ 00:03:05.230 Samuel Roberts: And then, yeah, just, like, little things, like you saw, the sidebar and everything. A lot of it is, like.
42 00:03:05.910 ⇒ 00:03:06.800 Samuel Roberts: from
43 00:03:07.190 ⇒ 00:03:17.169 Samuel Roberts: previous, so it’s kind of like, I got it to… I tried to get it to where the current platform was, but there’s still lots of weird quirks with that that, like, will get fixed over time anyway.
44 00:03:18.370 ⇒ 00:03:22.909 Samuel Roberts: But yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing is, like, if things are working.
45 00:03:23.070 ⇒ 00:03:27.679 Samuel Roberts: if the chats are not working, which is good, I had to restructure how Copilot was working, because I…
46 00:03:28.000 ⇒ 00:03:32.700 Samuel Roberts: Okay. I did it in a way that I guess wasn’t quite consistently working.
47 00:03:33.560 ⇒ 00:03:46.740 Samuel Roberts: But it’s more complicated than it needs to be right now. But basically, it’s just calling the N8Ns now. It’s like an extra step, which is a little annoying at this point, but once we start breaking apart those innate end flows and putting them into Copilot as, like, actions it can call.
48 00:03:46.960 ⇒ 00:03:47.330 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
49 00:03:47.330 ⇒ 00:03:50.230 Samuel Roberts: It’ll be… it’ll be better that way.
50 00:03:50.230 ⇒ 00:04:04.840 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, I think I’m less… honestly, I’m less interested in, like, spending a ton of time on UI fixes in the new platform, because as long as you can enable these, like, primitives, like, if you want to enable chat, like, we should use this methodology.
51 00:04:04.840 ⇒ 00:04:07.199 Samuel Roberts: then I think that’s better than…
52 00:04:07.690 ⇒ 00:04:11.650 Uttam Kumaran: Continuing, like… we build a lot of use case-specific things.
53 00:04:12.150 ⇒ 00:04:16.500 Uttam Kumaran: Now, instead, I think we should go into, like, this is the way, this is the framework by which we develop.
54 00:04:16.649 ⇒ 00:04:23.999 Samuel Roberts: Definitely. You know, anything that’s chat, yeah. I definitely wanted to get it to a point where it was doing everything the old platform did before I started.
55 00:04:24.600 ⇒ 00:04:25.489 Samuel Roberts: Tweaking things too much.
56 00:04:25.490 ⇒ 00:04:26.089 Uttam Kumaran: Australia, yeah.
57 00:04:26.090 ⇒ 00:04:29.510 Samuel Roberts: want it to be like, I used to use this feature, and it’s not there anymore, kind of thing.
58 00:04:29.510 ⇒ 00:04:30.220 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
59 00:04:30.220 ⇒ 00:04:34.060 Samuel Roberts: And it was relatively easy to get Cursor to migrate.
60 00:04:34.340 ⇒ 00:04:39.339 Samuel Roberts: Relatively, some of those files over. But yeah, there’s definitely a lot of, like.
61 00:04:40.630 ⇒ 00:04:54.899 Samuel Roberts: it’s very vibe-coded, and so there’s a lot of, like, things can get fixed and, like, streamlined in little ways that might make it easier for someone that’s less technical to jump in and, like, drop a chat in, passing some stuff to it, get a chat enabled. Right now, it’s still very…
62 00:04:55.270 ⇒ 00:04:59.780 Samuel Roberts: there’s a little bit of… I don’t want to say cleanup work that has to happen, but, like, refactoring to, like…
63 00:04:59.910 ⇒ 00:05:08.149 Samuel Roberts: Like, I was even in there today, when I hit those metrics, all the things… all the heights got messed up, and I was just like, that’s because it’s not… things are, like, hard-coded in ways that I wouldn’t have.
64 00:05:08.150 ⇒ 00:05:09.209 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
65 00:05:09.210 ⇒ 00:05:16.079 Samuel Roberts: We’re just doing it, but, you know, we’ll find those things and fix them along the way. It’s internal, so it’s not, you know, the end of the world when something like that happens, but…
66 00:05:16.080 ⇒ 00:05:16.590 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
67 00:05:16.590 ⇒ 00:05:26.449 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I think the only thing in terms of that is, like, flipping it over, flipping URL, or changing so that there’s an actual domain for the new platform.
68 00:05:26.550 ⇒ 00:05:36.760 Samuel Roberts: The question is, is that gonna be platform. Or should… and I think the other thing is to keep the old platform running in parallel for a little while, so I have someone.
69 00:05:37.220 ⇒ 00:05:42.089 Uttam Kumaran: I would just swap it, and you can do one that’s, like, platform staging, platform dot.
70 00:05:42.610 ⇒ 00:05:43.100 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
71 00:05:43.100 ⇒ 00:05:44.240 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s funny.
72 00:05:44.240 ⇒ 00:05:44.720 Samuel Roberts: Fine, yeah.
73 00:05:44.720 ⇒ 00:05:46.679 Uttam Kumaran: I have no… I have no problem.
74 00:05:46.950 ⇒ 00:05:51.090 Samuel Roberts: Alright, cool. I just wanted to make sure. I didn’t want to just, like, make those changes if it was, like…
75 00:05:51.090 ⇒ 00:05:55.789 Uttam Kumaran: No, you’re good, dude, I’m telling you, my feedback is gonna be ripped through it.
76 00:05:55.790 ⇒ 00:06:00.800 Samuel Roberts: Good I will make that live, and I’ll make a post about that, and then… Okay, cool.
77 00:06:00.800 ⇒ 00:06:03.419 Uttam Kumaran: Send in Brainforge team, and then… Okay.
78 00:06:03.680 ⇒ 00:06:08.400 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, again, as long as, like, because people are now going to platform.brainforge anyway, so…
79 00:06:08.400 ⇒ 00:06:10.689 Samuel Roberts: It’ll just redirect them to the… it’ll just…
80 00:06:10.690 ⇒ 00:06:12.329 Uttam Kumaran: Load the new stuff, so…
81 00:06:12.330 ⇒ 00:06:15.790 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, that actually would be… that would be a little live QA for people figuring that.
82 00:06:15.790 ⇒ 00:06:16.630 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.
83 00:06:16.630 ⇒ 00:06:18.269 Samuel Roberts: broken, so… Alright, cool.
84 00:06:18.690 ⇒ 00:06:23.609 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I mean, besides that, like, I think it’s pretty… pretty good.
85 00:06:23.800 ⇒ 00:06:25.369 Samuel Roberts: I mean…
86 00:06:26.150 ⇒ 00:06:30.710 Samuel Roberts: I’m not sure what else there is to do, there’s just, like I said, QA ongoing, but… Besides that.
87 00:06:31.570 ⇒ 00:06:36.449 Uttam Kumaran: What do you, like, do you think it’s, like, that’s, like, a tomorrow thing? Because I wanted to start to push…
88 00:06:36.790 ⇒ 00:06:41.260 Uttam Kumaran: I wanted to start to work on the Melissearch thing this week.
89 00:06:41.410 ⇒ 00:06:44.990 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe I’m on the plane tomorrow, so I was gonna work on that, maybe?
90 00:06:45.120 ⇒ 00:06:46.530 Uttam Kumaran: And so…
91 00:06:46.680 ⇒ 00:06:52.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, you just let me know, like, when we think we can… because I think that, and then…
92 00:06:52.740 ⇒ 00:06:58.739 Uttam Kumaran: Like, being able to get out the additional departments, and then also starting to log.
93 00:06:59.020 ⇒ 00:07:01.209 Uttam Kumaran: Is, like, the key things that… yeah.
94 00:07:01.210 ⇒ 00:07:06.879 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, the logging stuff, I had done a little bit of diving into, trying to figure out the best way to
95 00:07:08.050 ⇒ 00:07:15.980 Samuel Roberts: crack everything across, like, co-pilotKit, NAN, and stuff like that. I have some stuff stashed away that I was in the middle of,
96 00:07:16.250 ⇒ 00:07:20.390 Samuel Roberts: But it’s not quite there, but we can… I can make a big push on that.
97 00:07:20.580 ⇒ 00:07:29.329 Samuel Roberts: I think getting live is really just a matter of just switching the domain over at this point, so I… I would be hesitant to say do it right now, as I’m about to, like, go…
98 00:07:29.610 ⇒ 00:07:30.390 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
99 00:07:30.390 ⇒ 00:07:32.890 Samuel Roberts: But I can do that first thing in the morning and make a.
100 00:07:32.890 ⇒ 00:07:33.270 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
101 00:07:33.270 ⇒ 00:07:36.219 Samuel Roberts: That way, like, if things are going,
102 00:07:36.420 ⇒ 00:07:40.009 Samuel Roberts: Tomorrow, you know, if anything crashes and burns, it’s not…
103 00:07:40.010 ⇒ 00:07:40.830 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
104 00:07:40.830 ⇒ 00:07:50.200 Samuel Roberts: when I’m offline. But yeah, I think that’s really all it is. Everything, all the data, you know, everything’s… nothing’s staging data, everything’s pointing to the regular stuff, so it should be good.
105 00:07:50.810 ⇒ 00:07:51.380 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
106 00:07:51.760 ⇒ 00:07:57.170 Uttam Kumaran: Has anything changed with, like, how to run it, like, on my machine?
107 00:07:57.990 ⇒ 00:08:06.060 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, so now it’s just… it’s one command. I actually… I don’t know if the README is updated, that’s one thing I can probably take a swing at, but it should be…
108 00:08:06.060 ⇒ 00:08:06.830 Uttam Kumaran: Great.
109 00:08:07.140 ⇒ 00:08:11.879 Samuel Roberts: But yeah, basically it’s a… it’s a next app instead of a,
110 00:08:12.320 ⇒ 00:08:14.300 Samuel Roberts: Instead of a… just a React app.
111 00:08:15.140 ⇒ 00:08:26.739 Samuel Roberts: And so, Next gives you, like, all the backend stuff, so it’s… it’s frustrating, because, like, NextDev is a little slow, so, like… Okay. Because it compiles every time you, like, hit a new page.
112 00:08:27.090 ⇒ 00:08:33.860 Samuel Roberts: So it’s not, like, the best experience, but it’s better than having to, like, run two separate things and deploy two separate things. Okay.
113 00:08:33.860 ⇒ 00:08:34.530 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
114 00:08:34.530 ⇒ 00:08:45.999 Samuel Roberts: But yeah, I think I will make sure that… yeah, it’s just the standard Next repo readme in there right now that I can… actually does show you how to get it up and running. It’s just npm run dev or whatever, you know, whatever you’re using.
115 00:08:46.680 ⇒ 00:08:47.180 Samuel Roberts: Okay.
116 00:08:48.080 ⇒ 00:08:53.540 Samuel Roberts: And so, I’ll see if I can get Carson to make a little bit of a… Better…
117 00:08:55.570 ⇒ 00:09:02.290 Samuel Roberts: read me for that. But yeah, so you should… the only issue right now is environment variables.
118 00:09:03.100 ⇒ 00:09:07.960 Samuel Roberts: Okay. And that is… so you actually won’t be able to, now that I say that, get anything running.
119 00:09:08.130 ⇒ 00:09:12.939 Samuel Roberts: I can share the current.en file.
120 00:09:13.140 ⇒ 00:09:15.330 Samuel Roberts: that I have.
121 00:09:17.380 ⇒ 00:09:18.600 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay.
122 00:09:18.840 ⇒ 00:09:21.589 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, but if you just.
123 00:09:22.130 ⇒ 00:09:23.849 Samuel Roberts: This is actually something I was thinking about… oh, go ahead.
124 00:09:26.100 ⇒ 00:09:32.410 Uttam Kumaran: I guess… Yeah, I don’t know, you’d have to put it in, like, GitHub.
125 00:09:32.510 ⇒ 00:09:33.800 Uttam Kumaran: Or…
126 00:09:34.040 ⇒ 00:09:34.570 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
127 00:09:36.100 ⇒ 00:09:36.690 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
128 00:09:36.690 ⇒ 00:09:40.180 Samuel Roberts: I mean, we can have an env example, which is a good…
129 00:09:40.180 ⇒ 00:09:42.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s what you should do. And then, yeah.
130 00:09:42.990 ⇒ 00:09:46.140 Samuel Roberts: Getting all of them is a little bit of a wrangling. Okay.
131 00:09:46.460 ⇒ 00:09:59.640 Samuel Roberts: Because there’s, like, several different… which is a whole other thing I need to think through a little bit more long-term, is, like, there’s different Supabase instances for, like, the Zoom chats go one place, the Slack chats go somewhere else, the internal stuff is somewhere.
132 00:09:59.640 ⇒ 00:10:00.630 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. And so…
133 00:10:00.630 ⇒ 00:10:04.779 Samuel Roberts: It needs, like, 2 or 3 different… Superbase credentials right now.
134 00:10:04.780 ⇒ 00:10:10.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, but we should just have it all in Heroku, or wherever, or, like, wherever, yeah, the deploy step happens, right?
135 00:10:10.990 ⇒ 00:10:17.460 Samuel Roberts: It is in Heroku right now, but I had to get it in there. Heroku doesn’t seem to have a great way to, like, hold them, though. I haven’t.
136 00:10:17.460 ⇒ 00:10:18.200 Uttam Kumaran: I actually played with this.
137 00:10:18.200 ⇒ 00:10:37.219 Samuel Roberts: CLI as much. It was a little bit manual. I had to, like, have Cursor write a script to upload each NVAR to Heroku, rather than copy and paste it. Okay. The other thing is, I know there are other tools for managing, like, NVAR stuff. I know Vercel has got a decent one, which is, since it’s the next app, deploying on Vercel is…
138 00:10:37.860 ⇒ 00:10:40.199 Samuel Roberts: As even more painless than anything.
139 00:10:40.590 ⇒ 00:10:45.510 Samuel Roberts: And then Heroku even, but Heroku is fine with it. I thought there might be an issue with that, but I think it’s fine.
140 00:10:45.790 ⇒ 00:10:51.359 Samuel Roberts: So I don’t think there’s a need to necessarily go,
141 00:10:52.380 ⇒ 00:10:57.459 Samuel Roberts: move it over to Vercel, but managing the environment variables is… is one thing that I think
142 00:10:57.760 ⇒ 00:10:59.669 Samuel Roberts: Let me see if Heroku hasn’t pulled them.
143 00:11:08.150 ⇒ 00:11:10.940 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, you can, okay, you can use the CLI to pull them, there you go.
144 00:11:12.630 ⇒ 00:11:16.690 Samuel Roberts: And you might need to… okay, I’ll… I think what the best thing to do is maybe put a…
145 00:11:17.720 ⇒ 00:11:21.160 Samuel Roberts: And, an example in…
146 00:11:21.320 ⇒ 00:11:26.490 Samuel Roberts: And then maybe just have a little Heroku script that, as long as you’re off to Heroku, you can pull the environment variables.
147 00:11:26.630 ⇒ 00:11:27.869 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, that’s it.
148 00:11:27.870 ⇒ 00:11:32.579 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, alright, I hadn’t… I hadn’t really touched Taro. I’ve used Versailles and VAR stuff before, but…
149 00:11:32.580 ⇒ 00:11:37.969 Uttam Kumaran: But I don’t mind, like, again, it’s just… if it’s just us for now, then you can send me a one-time secret with everything, or…
150 00:11:37.970 ⇒ 00:11:38.710 Samuel Roberts: I was thinking for now.
151 00:11:38.710 ⇒ 00:11:44.859 Uttam Kumaran: You just toss it in… toss your dot… actually, you should just do this, you should toss your dot end into 1Password.
152 00:11:44.860 ⇒ 00:11:46.289 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, that’s what I was thinking initially.
153 00:11:46.290 ⇒ 00:11:46.980 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
154 00:11:47.350 ⇒ 00:11:54.940 Samuel Roberts: So, I can… I can do that. There’s a few different ones, and I’ve been adding them here and there as I add more things that needed, like, linear and stuff, but…
155 00:11:55.160 ⇒ 00:11:57.640 Samuel Roberts: I’ll do that now, actually. Let’s do it, yeah.
156 00:11:58.430 ⇒ 00:12:01.690 Uttam Kumaran: And then I’m just gonna… I’m also gonna collapse,
157 00:12:02.290 ⇒ 00:12:06.439 Uttam Kumaran: the alerts, like we talked about, too, all to this… I made this channel Infra Alerts.
158 00:12:06.610 ⇒ 00:12:12.609 Samuel Roberts: Okay, yeah, I just saw that update. I was… that was something I… I had, like, a draft that I went and looked at today, and was like, oh, I never actually said…
159 00:12:12.610 ⇒ 00:12:13.980 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’m just gonna… I’ll just…
160 00:12:13.980 ⇒ 00:12:14.679 Samuel Roberts: of error.
161 00:12:14.910 ⇒ 00:12:17.660 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, as soon as I start, like, doing…
162 00:12:18.400 ⇒ 00:12:24.029 Uttam Kumaran: like, if I start developing shit, I just, like, have to… I’m just like, let me just crank out as much shit as I can.
163 00:12:24.030 ⇒ 00:12:24.690 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
164 00:12:24.860 ⇒ 00:12:31.079 Uttam Kumaran: Also, for me, I’m happy to do all, like, the boring, like, janitor stuff. Like, I don’t mind that.
165 00:12:33.490 ⇒ 00:12:49.979 Uttam Kumaran: like, I actually enjoy using Kurtzer to, like, do refactors and stuff. Like, one thing, for example, Daxter, I want to separate the Daxter stuff that’s for clients, for data, or, like, basically separate it, like, per team. That way, I can make you code owner of the AI-related pipelines.
166 00:12:50.290 ⇒ 00:12:51.070 Uttam Kumaran: like…
167 00:12:51.360 ⇒ 00:12:55.950 Samuel Roberts: Yes. So that way you can review those, and it’s like, right now it’s me and Awasha and everything, but…
168 00:12:56.140 ⇒ 00:13:01.740 Uttam Kumaran: Could put you in rotation there, or, like, put each of the… AI folks on rotation.
169 00:13:02.000 ⇒ 00:13:03.020 Samuel Roberts: Definitely.
170 00:13:04.220 ⇒ 00:13:07.989 Samuel Roberts: Okay, yeah, I wasn’t sure if there was a way to split all that stuff up with the way the Daxter stuff was coming into Slack.
171 00:13:07.990 ⇒ 00:13:10.940 Uttam Kumaran: It’s just, like, new, we just have to set a folder, it’s… that’s true.
172 00:13:10.940 ⇒ 00:13:12.349 Samuel Roberts: Oh, okay, okay, cool.
173 00:13:12.350 ⇒ 00:13:12.910 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
174 00:13:15.230 ⇒ 00:13:16.099 Samuel Roberts: Password in.
175 00:13:54.400 ⇒ 00:13:55.220 Samuel Roberts: Hmm.
176 00:14:22.320 ⇒ 00:14:24.969 Samuel Roberts: Alright, let me stop this…
177 00:14:31.490 ⇒ 00:14:35.559 Samuel Roberts: Alright, so that should be the current… Environment variables you need.
178 00:14:35.930 ⇒ 00:14:39.630 Samuel Roberts: But I will make an example as well.
179 00:14:51.090 ⇒ 00:14:53.359 Samuel Roberts: Not all of these are even predictable right now, but…
180 00:17:55.410 ⇒ 00:18:00.599 Uttam Kumaran: And then also, if we can rename the repo eventually, too, that’d be great.
181 00:18:00.830 ⇒ 00:18:04.560 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I figured once we got it live and everything, that would be totally…
182 00:20:40.340 ⇒ 00:20:42.470 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, I’ll pull this down now.
183 00:20:56.090 ⇒ 00:20:57.490 Samuel Roberts: Probably gotta hop off of this.
184 00:20:57.860 ⇒ 00:21:04.820 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, let me, let me just try to pull this up while I have you. Yeah, probably smart. Hold on one second.
185 00:21:13.050 ⇒ 00:21:15.300 Uttam Kumaran: What the heck?
186 00:21:31.700 ⇒ 00:21:35.200 Uttam Kumaran: Do you use cursor? I mean, do you use a… do you use a arc?
187 00:21:36.350 ⇒ 00:21:38.009 Samuel Roberts: I’ve used ARK a little bit.
188 00:21:38.710 ⇒ 00:21:39.769 Uttam Kumaran: Are you using Chrome?
189 00:21:40.220 ⇒ 00:21:41.710 Samuel Roberts: I’m using Chrome mostly, yeah.
190 00:21:43.440 ⇒ 00:21:44.890 Uttam Kumaran: Should try Arc, it’s good, dude.
191 00:21:44.890 ⇒ 00:21:56.850 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, I… well, what I actually thought recently was using Arc, because I have so many Chrome windows open, and now I have, like, personal and work profile, and, like, I was trying to figure out, like, what’s opening where when I click it. Yeah.
192 00:21:57.160 ⇒ 00:21:58.000 Uttam Kumaran: We should use art.
193 00:21:58.000 ⇒ 00:22:01.159 Samuel Roberts: personal stuff, at least, and then that way I can have, like.
194 00:22:01.270 ⇒ 00:22:06.920 Samuel Roberts: it’s also, like, when I jump around Chrome tabs or Chrome Windows on the Mac, It’s like…
195 00:22:07.090 ⇒ 00:22:11.369 Samuel Roberts: I don’t know what’s where, and so just having, like, a separate browser that is, like, I know what’s there.
196 00:22:11.610 ⇒ 00:22:12.200 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
197 00:22:12.200 ⇒ 00:22:12.750 Samuel Roberts: But…
198 00:22:13.030 ⇒ 00:22:13.840 Uttam Kumaran: My child is…
199 00:22:13.840 ⇒ 00:22:15.200 Samuel Roberts: Way back, but…
200 00:22:15.640 ⇒ 00:22:21.080 Uttam Kumaran: My challenge is, like, cur- is, like, I always had this with VS, but, like, cursor windows, like, I end up having too much.
201 00:22:21.170 ⇒ 00:22:23.549 Samuel Roberts: Like, I need to create a workspace.
202 00:22:24.660 ⇒ 00:22:32.260 Uttam Kumaran: And I have not done that yet, because I have 5… I have 5 repos open. There’s, like, 2 clients, one, the Dagster, the…
203 00:22:32.260 ⇒ 00:22:33.110 Samuel Roberts: Oh, God, yeah.
204 00:22:33.110 ⇒ 00:22:42.330 Uttam Kumaran: extra one, one for Urban Stems, the old platform and the new pla- and, like, what I did was, I opened the cursor, like, a level above, so I have.
205 00:22:42.330 ⇒ 00:22:42.970 Samuel Roberts: Like, the old.
206 00:22:42.970 ⇒ 00:22:44.300 Uttam Kumaran: Front and back.
207 00:22:44.300 ⇒ 00:22:45.339 Samuel Roberts: Back-end new platform.
208 00:22:45.340 ⇒ 00:22:49.270 Uttam Kumaran: No, I should open, that’s why I should open just a GitHub repo, I’m an idiot.
209 00:22:49.510 ⇒ 00:22:59.990 Samuel Roberts: It’s a little confusing, because then you have, like, multiple gits sometimes, and you have multiple… like, you have to really pointed to the right files, it doesn’t just, like, look… because it has so much to, like, potentially look at, but…
210 00:23:00.160 ⇒ 00:23:05.720 Samuel Roberts: It’s working a little bit. I might stop it now that I’m not looking at the old platform quite as much, trying to.
211 00:23:05.720 ⇒ 00:23:15.150 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I should probably have, like, my own cursor rule about, like, what is what, or something, I don’t know. Or, like, if every repo’s cursor rule, it should figure it out, right? I don’t know.
212 00:23:15.150 ⇒ 00:23:20.180 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, theoretically, if everything’s in there. But if you’re just, like, asking a question without pointing it in the right place.
213 00:23:20.180 ⇒ 00:23:24.990 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah. It doesn’t know where to go, or it’s pulling up, like, multiple same files, because the… Yeah.
214 00:23:24.990 ⇒ 00:23:28.019 Samuel Roberts: Platform has the same name as the new platform font.
215 00:23:28.020 ⇒ 00:23:28.800 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
216 00:23:29.250 ⇒ 00:23:30.350 Samuel Roberts: Oh, yeah.
217 00:23:30.930 ⇒ 00:23:36.600 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so where is this? Cool.
218 00:23:47.690 ⇒ 00:23:56.459 Uttam Kumaran: It’s so brutal, dude. Anytime I open, like, email or Slack or do anything, there’s so many, like, things to take care of, and I, like…
219 00:23:56.460 ⇒ 00:23:57.100 Samuel Roberts: Yeah.
220 00:23:57.850 ⇒ 00:24:04.520 Uttam Kumaran: And they’re, like, a client thing for signature just came that we’ve been waiting on. I’m like, focus on…
221 00:24:04.520 ⇒ 00:24:05.170 Samuel Roberts: in the repository.
222 00:24:05.170 ⇒ 00:24:05.960 Uttam Kumaran: Set up.
223 00:24:06.070 ⇒ 00:24:07.440 Samuel Roberts: Do not.
224 00:24:07.620 ⇒ 00:24:09.949 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t want to waste your time, okay, hold on.
225 00:24:09.950 ⇒ 00:24:11.210 Samuel Roberts: You’re good, you’re good.
226 00:24:11.730 ⇒ 00:24:12.410 Uttam Kumaran: Alright.
227 00:24:12.410 ⇒ 00:24:14.549 Samuel Roberts: There’s always too much to do.
228 00:24:25.750 ⇒ 00:24:28.610 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so I’m set up here…
229 00:24:29.230 ⇒ 00:24:31.469 Uttam Kumaran: Maybe I’ll just share my screen really quick and…
230 00:24:31.470 ⇒ 00:24:32.340 Samuel Roberts: Yeah, sure.
