7 00:01:37.070 ⇒ 00:01:38.560 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, I’m doing well.
8 00:01:46.360 ⇒ 00:01:53.180 Casie Aviles: Yeah, some won’t be here, so I’ll be taking over at least for this day again,
9 00:01:53.580 ⇒ 00:02:00.150 Casie Aviles: Let’s see if Gabe will come. But, yeah, I can start with… ABC…
10 00:02:01.840 ⇒ 00:02:03.780 Casie Aviles: Let me just share the screen.
11 00:02:14.820 ⇒ 00:02:15.780 Casie Aviles: Okay.
12 00:02:18.390 ⇒ 00:02:21.910 Casie Aviles: Alright, I guess I’ll start with…
13 00:02:22.090 ⇒ 00:02:26.210 Casie Aviles: the central dock work. I know you worked on…
14 00:02:27.640 ⇒ 00:02:31.119 Casie Aviles: a draft, right, Mustafa? For… for the central doc.
15 00:02:32.080 ⇒ 00:02:36.880 Mustafa Raja: Yes, so Sam reviewed it, and he suggested me some changes.
16 00:02:37.080 ⇒ 00:02:44.650 Mustafa Raja: Which makes sense. And then, amber said that…
17 00:02:44.800 ⇒ 00:03:01.060 Mustafa Raja: Rather than pest dog, I should be working on some, some other dog that’s more messed up. So, I’ll be holding off on, pest one, and I’ll be, start… I’ll start working on mechanical.
18 00:03:01.180 ⇒ 00:03:03.069 Mustafa Raja: A mechanical dog, you know?
19 00:03:03.220 ⇒ 00:03:05.679 Mustafa Raja: And I didn’t test that.
20 00:03:07.320 ⇒ 00:03:09.809 Mustafa Raja: So, that’s the plan moving forward.
21 00:03:18.870 ⇒ 00:03:22.380 Casie Aviles: Right, so… for the mechanical dock…
22 00:03:24.030 ⇒ 00:03:27.140 Casie Aviles: Is there anything that, that’s…
23 00:03:28.300 ⇒ 00:03:33.320 Casie Aviles: Will you be doing, like, the same, like, formatting that you… that we have here? Yes.
24 00:03:33.320 ⇒ 00:03:44.130 Mustafa Raja: That’s the idea with this, with this format. This is more of a generalized format that all of the central docs will be using.
25 00:03:44.660 ⇒ 00:03:52.049 Mustafa Raja: So yeah, I’m going to use the same general format here, for my calendar also.
26 00:03:53.590 ⇒ 00:03:54.630 Casie Aviles: Okay, cool.
27 00:03:56.470 ⇒ 00:04:00.540 Casie Aviles: Alright, yeah, let us know if you need, like, any…
28 00:04:01.550 ⇒ 00:04:06.350 Casie Aviles: review as well on, on, like, what… how it comes out to, since I think, yeah, there’s a lot of, like.
29 00:04:07.670 ⇒ 00:04:14.479 Casie Aviles: changes that needs to happen on mechanical. Since best is kind of, you know, the one that’s performing.
30 00:04:14.620 ⇒ 00:04:15.420 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
31 00:04:15.420 ⇒ 00:04:17.090 Casie Aviles: More structured much better.
32 00:04:17.510 ⇒ 00:04:17.880 Mustafa Raja: Yeah.
33 00:04:19.290 ⇒ 00:04:20.089 Casie Aviles: Okay.
34 00:04:20.480 ⇒ 00:04:25.570 Casie Aviles: Alright cool.
35 00:04:25.820 ⇒ 00:04:30.460 Casie Aviles: Okay, so let me also go to the migration.
36 00:04:32.890 ⇒ 00:04:41.100 Casie Aviles: Alright, so switching over to the migration, yeah, I know, I know we have, we’ve already, like, started working on migrating the models.
37 00:04:42.820 ⇒ 00:04:43.770 Mustafa Raja: Yes.
38 00:04:45.240 ⇒ 00:04:51.009 Mustafa Raja: So, I sent over the, what’s it called, the proposal, and…
39 00:04:52.080 ⇒ 00:05:09.599 Mustafa Raja: Tim said that he will, you know, give us access. Now, I haven’t checked if the access has already been given or not, but I’ll do that, and then I’ll, if it hasn’t been given, I’ll nudge him on that.
40 00:05:11.470 ⇒ 00:05:16.650 Mustafa Raja: So we have access, so that we make sure that we have access on the Gemini models that we need.
41 00:05:17.390 ⇒ 00:05:19.349 Uttam Kumaran: Can you send him, send him an email?
42 00:05:19.580 ⇒ 00:05:21.920 Mustafa Raja: I, I sent… I sent a Slack.
43 00:05:22.140 ⇒ 00:05:23.939 Casie Aviles: Yeah, listen to external.
44 00:05:23.940 ⇒ 00:05:27.859 Mustafa Raja: In the external channel. So, and he did reply.
45 00:05:27.860 ⇒ 00:05:29.290 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
46 00:05:29.810 ⇒ 00:05:32.560 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, he did reply, and… So yeah.
47 00:05:36.510 ⇒ 00:05:40.740 Casie Aviles: Yeah, and it’s for the development, project for now, right? Okay.
48 00:05:43.590 ⇒ 00:05:45.950 Mustafa Raja: I think we’ll only need one project, though, no?
49 00:05:46.370 ⇒ 00:05:52.220 Mustafa Raja: We wouldn’t need multiple… Since we… You need the API keynote?
50 00:05:52.650 ⇒ 00:05:55.960 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s… yeah, we also established that.
51 00:05:56.140 ⇒ 00:06:00.899 Casie Aviles: Yes, sir, they… Okay, yeah, we can have it in the development project for now.
52 00:06:01.550 ⇒ 00:06:05.320 Casie Aviles: Since we can… we’ll be using the same keys anyway.
53 00:06:08.360 ⇒ 00:06:09.180 Casie Aviles: Alright.
54 00:06:09.900 ⇒ 00:06:15.469 Casie Aviles: Okay, so you’re… we’re just going to check if we have it, and then follow up if it’s not there yet token.
55 00:06:16.980 ⇒ 00:06:21.010 Casie Aviles: And then for, for, like, Getting the, the act.
56 00:06:21.200 ⇒ 00:06:22.969 Casie Aviles: Andy, to the staging.
57 00:06:23.400 ⇒ 00:06:25.260 Casie Aviles: Environment, so the…
58 00:06:25.600 ⇒ 00:06:36.139 Casie Aviles: clients can test. That’s going to be for next week. I know Tom sent also, like, the Heroku apps that we have right now, so those aren’t… those are still active.
59 00:06:36.280 ⇒ 00:06:40.690 Casie Aviles: But we’ll be… Phasing those out once we have it,
60 00:06:40.830 ⇒ 00:06:44.729 Casie Aviles: working on… well, I mean, it’s already in Google, but…
61 00:06:45.290 ⇒ 00:06:50.300 Casie Aviles: We’re going to test a bit more, and make sure that it’s ready for the…
62 00:06:53.140 ⇒ 00:07:02.310 Casie Aviles: for the CSR2 test with, but we have, like, a staging version of it, or, like, yeah, devs version and staging version of Andy as well.
63 00:07:03.400 ⇒ 00:07:04.030 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
64 00:07:05.980 ⇒ 00:07:10.530 Casie Aviles: Okay, so I think that’s all we have for the migration.
65 00:07:11.820 ⇒ 00:07:15.519 Casie Aviles: Okay, moving on to the zips.
66 00:07:18.630 ⇒ 00:07:25.429 Casie Aviles: So yeah, for the zips, I’ve just been mainly working on Validating the…
67 00:07:25.840 ⇒ 00:07:29.499 Casie Aviles: The discrepancies, and making sure that, the…
68 00:07:30.140 ⇒ 00:07:37.669 Casie Aviles: the spreadsheets are normalized. So I’ve, so yesterday I was working on it, and then… There were some…
69 00:07:39.810 ⇒ 00:07:43.040 Casie Aviles: So what Sam suggested was I also, like.
70 00:07:43.600 ⇒ 00:07:46.350 Casie Aviles: Consider, like, some of the more freeform
71 00:07:46.940 ⇒ 00:07:55.449 Casie Aviles: fields, for example, these, they’re not very in a normalized state, so that’s also something I also asked Furser, and I think Furser’s been doing pretty well.
72 00:07:55.740 ⇒ 00:07:58.020 Casie Aviles: For this kind of task,
73 00:07:58.520 ⇒ 00:08:02.490 Casie Aviles: So, right now, I’m just going to close out and try to, like.
74 00:08:05.190 ⇒ 00:08:08.279 Casie Aviles: For example, in this, validation sheet.
75 00:08:08.550 ⇒ 00:08:14.680 Casie Aviles: That we have, so anything that’s missing, we’re going to reconcile that also. And I’m also using Furser to do that.
76 00:08:17.290 ⇒ 00:08:23.789 Casie Aviles: So… that’s it. And then I’ve also… we, from yesterday, I also… we were… we also worked on, like.
77 00:08:24.060 ⇒ 00:08:28.510 Casie Aviles: An automated testing for the… For Andy, so…
78 00:08:29.510 ⇒ 00:08:33.579 Casie Aviles: Essentially, what that means is we’re going to be going through, like.
79 00:08:34.520 ⇒ 00:08:38.749 Casie Aviles: A set of task questions that got, like, a thumbs-down feedback.
80 00:08:39.690 ⇒ 00:08:47.540 Casie Aviles: And then Andy would be… or, like, this workflow will be able to, like, test all of those at once, and so we don’t have to, like, manually go to…
81 00:08:47.900 ⇒ 00:08:50.819 Casie Aviles: Andy sending each message all the time.
82 00:08:51.450 ⇒ 00:08:53.390 Uttam Kumaran: Nice. Great, great, great.
83 00:08:53.870 ⇒ 00:08:58.819 Casie Aviles: Yeah, that’s, something we work on. So it’s… for now, it’s going to be, like, internal,
84 00:09:00.260 ⇒ 00:09:06.630 Casie Aviles: It’s in… yeah, it’s already in one of our branches, but I just have, like, one more field to try to add there.
85 00:09:06.820 ⇒ 00:09:12.419 Casie Aviles: Which is like the SQL generated… the generated SQL. It’s not yet attached, so I’m just going to add that.
86 00:09:13.620 ⇒ 00:09:19.269 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I think, I think that’s all. I’ll try to close out everything about the zips today.
87 00:09:20.180 ⇒ 00:09:22.479 Casie Aviles: So we can start moving on.
88 00:09:22.930 ⇒ 00:09:24.720 Casie Aviles: Next week. Okay.
89 00:09:25.780 ⇒ 00:09:32.180 Casie Aviles: Yeah, I think, I think that’s all we had for ABC right now, for the work streams that are active.
90 00:09:33.350 ⇒ 00:09:33.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
91 00:09:34.700 ⇒ 00:09:35.400 Casie Aviles: Okay.
92 00:09:35.730 ⇒ 00:09:41.300 Casie Aviles: And I don’t have much insight into the transcript work, but I know that it’s also already unreal.
93 00:09:41.400 ⇒ 00:09:47.290 Casie Aviles: And I guess my question there, Otam, is that’s already connected to BQ, right?
94 00:09:48.180 ⇒ 00:09:49.040 Uttam Kumaran: That’s correct.
95 00:09:49.210 ⇒ 00:09:49.900 Casie Aviles: Okay.
96 00:09:52.680 ⇒ 00:09:53.990 Uttam Kumaran: That is correct.
97 00:09:55.490 ⇒ 00:10:01.250 Casie Aviles: Okay, yep, I… yeah, I guess that’s it for ABC, that’s all I had. I can move…
98 00:10:01.510 ⇒ 00:10:04.989 Casie Aviles: I can talk a little bit about Lee Loader, there’s not a lot.
99 00:10:09.930 ⇒ 00:10:19.240 Casie Aviles: So just yesterday, I think Nan… yeah, Nano Banana, the latest version, came out, so I just, it was just, like, a one-line fix that I’ve been…
100 00:10:19.800 ⇒ 00:10:24.339 Casie Aviles: Working on, so they should have that as well.
101 00:10:24.680 ⇒ 00:10:30.720 Casie Aviles: Other than that, I think we’ve just basically,
102 00:10:31.290 ⇒ 00:10:37.630 Casie Aviles: realigned on what we have to do next, based on the updated Gantt chart.
103 00:10:37.890 ⇒ 00:10:44.140 Casie Aviles: So I also, like, reorganized the projects and put the existing tickets into, like, the right
104 00:10:44.770 ⇒ 00:10:46.830 Casie Aviles: for extremes now for Lilo.
105 00:10:47.120 ⇒ 00:10:48.080 Casie Aviles: So I think…
106 00:10:48.080 ⇒ 00:10:48.740 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
107 00:10:49.600 ⇒ 00:10:55.440 Casie Aviles: That’s what we have, although… yeah, we don’t really have much development work for this week.
108 00:10:57.020 ⇒ 00:10:57.490 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
109 00:10:57.490 ⇒ 00:10:59.399 Casie Aviles: I think next week we’re… we’re gonna…
110 00:10:59.520 ⇒ 00:11:04.110 Casie Aviles: pick up again. I haven’t heard back from Pranav yet, but yeah.
111 00:11:04.740 ⇒ 00:11:05.920 Casie Aviles: That’s true. Okay.
112 00:11:08.980 ⇒ 00:11:13.329 Casie Aviles: Well, yeah, I think that’s… that’s all for Lilo.
113 00:11:15.330 ⇒ 00:11:21.299 Casie Aviles: I guess internal, if we have any updates there. I haven’t been working on internal much.
114 00:11:21.520 ⇒ 00:11:22.320 Casie Aviles: Safety.
115 00:11:23.890 ⇒ 00:11:30.949 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I do have a… I do have something there, so I have been… I just shipped a bunch yesterday.
116 00:11:31.460 ⇒ 00:11:38.160 Uttam Kumaran: And, you know, I think we did… we were able to achieve the railway migration, which was great.
117 00:11:38.260 ⇒ 00:11:39.270 Casie Aviles: Oh.
118 00:11:39.980 ⇒ 00:11:51.749 Uttam Kumaran: So, that’s all set. The one problem is because Railway Auto… like, Railway Auto Deploy for review apps takes the entire repo, I may build us our own auto-deploy.
119 00:11:51.940 ⇒ 00:11:56.169 Uttam Kumaran: So that it’s faster. It’s taking, like, 8 minutes right now, which is kind of crazy.
120 00:11:57.780 ⇒ 00:12:14.459 Uttam Kumaran: So, I’m gonna try to work on that. And then… the other thing is, like, oh, I also want to share with you guys that I installed some, like, really, really helpful plugins that I would encourage you guys to also…
121 00:12:14.880 ⇒ 00:12:20.229 Uttam Kumaran: Install… Let me find…
122 00:12:20.230 ⇒ 00:12:21.050 Casie Aviles: cursor?
123 00:12:21.280 ⇒ 00:12:22.579 Uttam Kumaran: This is for cursor, yeah.
124 00:12:22.580 ⇒ 00:12:23.100 Casie Aviles: Okay.
125 00:12:23.890 ⇒ 00:12:25.620 Uttam Kumaran: Let me find them.
126 00:12:45.270 ⇒ 00:12:46.539 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, yeah, here.
127 00:12:46.720 ⇒ 00:12:50.420 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll send it to both of you guys in the… in the platform.
128 00:12:51.070 ⇒ 00:12:51.660 Casie Aviles: Okay.
129 00:12:55.430 ⇒ 00:12:58.699 Uttam Kumaran: Check out this plugin. I’ve been using the, like.
130 00:12:59.120 ⇒ 00:13:01.720 Uttam Kumaran: I’ve been using some of them, it’s, like, super, super nice.
131 00:13:05.030 ⇒ 00:13:07.579 Uttam Kumaran: Like, for example, Loop on CI,
132 00:13:08.020 ⇒ 00:13:12.069 Uttam Kumaran: It basically, like, if you’re waiting on something to pass CI, it’ll just sit in loop.
133 00:13:12.490 ⇒ 00:13:17.320 Uttam Kumaran: And then… another one is, like, Fixed merge conflicts.
134 00:13:17.870 ⇒ 00:13:20.270 Uttam Kumaran: So you don’t have to say that again and again.
135 00:13:21.050 ⇒ 00:13:22.160 Uttam Kumaran: It’s really nice.
136 00:13:25.110 ⇒ 00:13:26.190 Casie Aviles: I see, yeah.
137 00:13:26.360 ⇒ 00:13:27.500 Casie Aviles: This is cool.
138 00:13:27.830 ⇒ 00:13:32.459 Casie Aviles: So these are skills kind of like… oh, it’s kind of like what they’re doing with Claude.
139 00:13:33.900 ⇒ 00:13:36.160 Uttam Kumaran: Yes. Yes.
140 00:13:38.380 ⇒ 00:13:40.610 Casie Aviles: Okay, I’ll give this a try.
141 00:13:41.430 ⇒ 00:13:45.049 Uttam Kumaran: And then, this is one that I’m gonna be testing this one.
142 00:13:51.450 ⇒ 00:13:52.980 Casie Aviles: Continual learning.
143 00:13:59.440 ⇒ 00:14:07.159 Casie Aviles: I see, incrementally learns durable user preferences on Facebook. Okay, yeah, I think that’s good. Like, one challenge…
144 00:14:07.410 ⇒ 00:14:15.089 Casie Aviles: I think with, you know, with coding with cursors, the context is kind of lost, so that’s why I’ve been getting into the habit of
145 00:14:15.490 ⇒ 00:14:21.020 Casie Aviles: just… getting it to write an MD as well, like, whenever I work on something.
146 00:14:23.400 ⇒ 00:14:26.439 Casie Aviles: Is that kind of what this addresses? Like…
147 00:14:26.580 ⇒ 00:14:28.939 Casie Aviles: Making sure the context is persistent.
148 00:14:32.050 ⇒ 00:14:33.510 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, yeah.
149 00:14:34.920 ⇒ 00:14:36.280 Casie Aviles: Okay, yeah.
150 00:14:40.400 ⇒ 00:14:41.380 Uttam Kumaran: Exactly.
151 00:14:46.190 ⇒ 00:14:49.089 Casie Aviles: Alright, yeah, I’ll also give these a try.
152 00:14:49.370 ⇒ 00:14:53.339 Casie Aviles: Look, nice.
153 00:14:56.850 ⇒ 00:15:00.749 Casie Aviles: Alright, yeah, I think, I think that’s all I had for, for,
154 00:15:02.560 ⇒ 00:15:05.669 Casie Aviles: For all the work streams we have at the moment.
155 00:15:05.670 ⇒ 00:15:06.270 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
