3 00:01:47.930 ⇒ 00:01:48.820 Robert Tseng: Hey!
4 00:01:51.660 ⇒ 00:01:54.770 Robert Tseng: Who’s, who’s the homework?
5 00:01:56.410 ⇒ 00:01:57.180 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
6 00:02:10.820 ⇒ 00:02:12.110 Surfield Thomas: Yo, Robert, can you hear me?
7 00:02:12.370 ⇒ 00:02:13.620 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I can hear you.
8 00:02:13.620 ⇒ 00:02:14.510 Surfield Thomas: Awesome, sweet.
9 00:02:14.760 ⇒ 00:02:23.570 Surfield Thomas: I don’t know what was happening with that meeting. I was in there, and then no one else was in there, so… yeah, it’s Zoom. Zoom always gives me the runaround.
10 00:02:23.820 ⇒ 00:02:24.135 Robert Tseng: Oh.
11 00:02:25.810 ⇒ 00:02:32.849 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I mean, I was… it was a rowdy meeting. I was, all the… all our guys talking, so I just didn’t see you.
12 00:02:33.120 ⇒ 00:02:36.579 Surfield Thomas: Okay, cool. Wait, so they’re still in there, the AI meeting?
13 00:02:36.580 ⇒ 00:02:37.909 Robert Tseng: Yeah, yeah, they’re still there.
14 00:02:37.910 ⇒ 00:02:42.010 Surfield Thomas: How the… dude, this is crazy. Hold on, let me just show you real quick.
15 00:02:42.220 ⇒ 00:02:44.260 Surfield Thomas: Cause I’m kind of… I’m so confused.
16 00:02:44.470 ⇒ 00:02:46.850 Surfield Thomas: Oh, no, I can’t share. I can’t share my screen.
17 00:02:47.710 ⇒ 00:02:48.410 Robert Tseng: Oh, what?
18 00:02:49.200 ⇒ 00:02:51.049 Surfield Thomas: Yeah, I can’t. Oh, no, I can, I can, hold on.
19 00:02:51.460 ⇒ 00:02:52.740 Surfield Thomas: Desktop share.
20 00:02:53.350 ⇒ 00:02:55.030 Surfield Thomas: So, this is what I clicked.
21 00:02:55.880 ⇒ 00:02:56.690 Surfield Thomas: Right?
22 00:02:56.690 ⇒ 00:02:57.400 Robert Tseng: Huh.
23 00:02:57.400 ⇒ 00:03:01.400 Surfield Thomas: app slash stand up, and then when I sent you that picture, I was the only one in there.
24 00:03:01.600 ⇒ 00:03:02.620 Robert Tseng: Ugh.
25 00:03:03.920 ⇒ 00:03:13.500 Surfield Thomas: So unless this isn’t connecting right… and that’s what I mean, like, Zoom always does something weird, because I’m like, I just clicked this Droid button. So that’s why I was like, well, you’re not in there and no one else is in here.
26 00:03:13.750 ⇒ 00:03:14.150 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
27 00:03:14.150 ⇒ 00:03:16.509 Surfield Thomas: what you’re saying, they were in there, which is… I don’t know.
28 00:03:16.510 ⇒ 00:03:19.449 Robert Tseng: The join button is unreliable. Sometimes it just loads.
29 00:03:19.450 ⇒ 00:03:20.310 Surfield Thomas: Thanks to some random.
30 00:03:20.310 ⇒ 00:03:24.350 Robert Tseng: I always go into the calendar invite, and then I click it.
31 00:03:24.350 ⇒ 00:03:33.340 Surfield Thomas: I got you. Okay, so then now that makes sense. I was like, yeah, I was in there, I was like, mmm, this is kind of weird. Alright, cool. I guess let me give you just the high low, like, the lowdown of…
32 00:03:33.340 ⇒ 00:03:33.680 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
33 00:03:33.810 ⇒ 00:03:43.769 Surfield Thomas: So, we’re good. We’re able to launch the thing without, Cameron, so he’s not a blocker. We brought on the next engineer on the…
34 00:03:43.820 ⇒ 00:03:54.020 Surfield Thomas: what is that? The Eden side, so now it’s four of us. I just spoke this morning with, the India side lead.
35 00:03:54.030 ⇒ 00:04:08.849 Surfield Thomas: So they’re gonna be onboarding him, and then that team’s gonna be growing up to 10, well, over the course of, let’s call it, like, the next month. We chatted with them last week about, like, onboarding a whole bunch more people, all sorts of crazy shit.
36 00:04:08.850 ⇒ 00:04:24.290 Surfield Thomas: So we’re good on the development side from right now. Cameron can’t hurt us, but what they basically kind of have me doing is calling him out for all the things that he said he was gonna give us, and then they’re documenting a bunch of stuff on their side to kind of prove that he didn’t actually develop the thing that he was supposed to.
37 00:04:24.290 ⇒ 00:04:25.600 Robert Tseng: Yeah. But…
38 00:04:25.950 ⇒ 00:04:39.869 Surfield Thomas: Let me see, so that’s good on that side. So I guess my question to you is, you brought up a great point, you guys are supposed to be working on something on the data side. Do you have documentation on what that’s supposed to be? Because…
39 00:04:40.200 ⇒ 00:04:59.159 Surfield Thomas: Right now, we’re deploying the system, setting up CICD, and still learning about the system, but I want to make sure that we know what triggers you guys are looking for, because he built it in a weird fucking way. Like, the thing uses, PlanetScale, so I don’t know if you want direct connectors from the database, or us to send you, like.
40 00:04:59.160 ⇒ 00:05:07.880 Surfield Thomas: mixed panel type things, or whatever. I had us scheduled for a meeting, ideally, to figure that out. I think it’s, like, now.
41 00:05:07.900 ⇒ 00:05:18.979 Surfield Thomas: Like, supposed to be from the Gantt chart, but if you send me over at least the documentation, I could know what that is, or if you want to speak to it lightly now, that could also help.
42 00:05:19.180 ⇒ 00:05:33.609 Robert Tseng: Yeah, we already put together some documentation, because we had originally asked this of Cameron, so I’ll… I’ll have… I mean, I think Awash was the main contributor there, so I’ll just have him, kind of reshare that with you. Okay. Yeah.
43 00:05:34.520 ⇒ 00:05:38.999 Surfield Thomas: Sweet. Alright, so then I think once I see that, I might have to schedule a call with you in a way.
44 00:05:39.000 ⇒ 00:05:39.430 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
45 00:05:39.430 ⇒ 00:05:41.129 Surfield Thomas: After I download it.
46 00:05:41.180 ⇒ 00:05:47.750 Robert Tseng: To then figure out where the tie-ins are, because I don’t know if Cameron’s already built the integrations, probably not, or if we have those. I think not.
47 00:05:47.750 ⇒ 00:05:52.520 Surfield Thomas: And then we can start, adding those in, because we’re using Jira,
48 00:05:52.930 ⇒ 00:05:57.499 Surfield Thomas: Adding feature tickets, all that sort of stuff, so we’re, like, fully-fledged engineering team, kind of ripping.
49 00:05:57.500 ⇒ 00:05:58.220 Robert Tseng: Okay.
50 00:05:58.330 ⇒ 00:05:59.230 Robert Tseng: Okay.
51 00:05:59.350 ⇒ 00:05:59.950 Robert Tseng: Good to hear.
52 00:05:59.950 ⇒ 00:06:00.970 Surfield Thomas: It’s all good on the side.
53 00:06:01.140 ⇒ 00:06:04.949 Robert Tseng: Alright, yeah, I’ll get that sent over to you today, yeah.
54 00:06:05.740 ⇒ 00:06:10.260 Surfield Thomas: Alright, cool. Yeah, share it right in the channel, and then I’ll add it, and then I’ll have our PM start breaking it down.
55 00:06:10.260 ⇒ 00:06:11.750 Robert Tseng: Okay, sounds good.
56 00:06:11.920 ⇒ 00:06:12.720 Surfield Thomas: Alright, cool.
57 00:06:12.720 ⇒ 00:06:13.980 Robert Tseng: Alright, thanks, Surf.
58 00:06:13.980 ⇒ 00:06:14.600 Surfield Thomas: Easy.
59 00:06:14.650 ⇒ 00:06:15.930 Robert Tseng: Talk to you later. Bye.
