1 00:00:33.660 ⇒ 00:00:34.770 Uttam Kumaran: Hello.
2 00:00:36.930 ⇒ 00:00:39.730 Emily Giant: Hi! Oh my gosh, when you said hi, I jumped.
3 00:00:39.730 ⇒ 00:00:42.650 Uttam Kumaran: Whoa, sorry.
4 00:00:43.100 ⇒ 00:00:49.240 Emily Giant: I was just so focused, and had forgotten that onto the call.
5 00:00:50.430 ⇒ 00:01:05.930 Uttam Kumaran: No, I’m just in your… I’m just in your ears. I’m not in the room. I’ve lost it. I’ve truly lost it. Did you have a holiday weekend at all? Were you able to, like, take some time? Yeah, we did. We had a… we had a really nice,
6 00:01:06.250 ⇒ 00:01:10.090 Uttam Kumaran: like, gathering some friends at my house on Friday, that was really nice.
7 00:01:10.090 ⇒ 00:01:10.680 Emily Giant: Yes.
8 00:01:11.120 ⇒ 00:01:14.610 Uttam Kumaran: Had some wine, and then, yes, just a relaxing weekend.
9 00:01:15.090 ⇒ 00:01:16.819 Emily Giant: That’s great, and I know Deborah.
10 00:01:16.820 ⇒ 00:01:17.980 Uttam Kumaran: You weren’t traveling?
11 00:01:17.980 ⇒ 00:01:33.000 Emily Giant: Yeah, I went to Spokane, which I… you know, usually I grumble about, like, seeing my cousins in Spokane, but I think it’s because usually we stay inside the house and don’t do anything, except for play with the kids, and this time we, like…
12 00:01:33.050 ⇒ 00:01:43.060 Emily Giant: ventured out, and it is beautiful. I had no idea, like, how lovely that area was. There’s so many lakes, like, lots of hiking, so it was…
13 00:01:43.230 ⇒ 00:01:58.049 Emily Giant: way better than anticipated, but I have my cousin that I’m very close with lives out there, and, I haven’t seen her in some time, so, like, every time I have a long weekend, I feel like I have to go meet somebody’s new child. So, she was, like, next on the list.
14 00:01:58.170 ⇒ 00:02:12.020 Emily Giant: But it was nice! I’m back home now. But, you know, that one extra day. The travel is bizarre out west, though. Like, that 3-hour time difference, like, gets me worse than going to Europe. Somehow, the, like.
15 00:02:12.640 ⇒ 00:02:13.470 Emily Giant: it feels.
16 00:02:13.470 ⇒ 00:02:14.160 Uttam Kumaran: Really?
17 00:02:14.160 ⇒ 00:02:21.209 Emily Giant: different, and it’s just different enough that it, like, really throws me off, and I don’t prepare for it, so I’m like…
18 00:02:21.560 ⇒ 00:02:25.119 Emily Giant: It’s, like, all weird today, in my head with time.
19 00:02:25.940 ⇒ 00:02:32.159 Uttam Kumaran: See, I’m just, like, tired all the time, so now that time difference is so easy.
20 00:02:32.160 ⇒ 00:02:33.679 Emily Giant: Yeah, I’m tired all the time.
21 00:02:33.680 ⇒ 00:02:40.459 Uttam Kumaran: But I could sleep at 7pm, or 10PM, or 1AM, right? Like, that the 3 hours doesn’t really change much.
22 00:02:42.240 ⇒ 00:02:44.359 Emily Giant: Luke says more about, like, your…
23 00:02:44.550 ⇒ 00:02:48.209 Emily Giant: Your, normal existence than it does about your ability.
24 00:02:48.210 ⇒ 00:02:55.999 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, like, I, you know, I woke up recently, I could kind of take a nap right now. It could really put me to it, yeah.
25 00:02:56.000 ⇒ 00:03:00.320 Emily Giant: I think I’m a little bit in that camp with you, where I’m just always exhausted, and so…
26 00:03:00.320 ⇒ 00:03:11.999 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t know. I feel like if I go to the gym or run, I get the energy back. Yeah. But, like, I’ve never been a morning gym person, I usually go, like, in the afternoon.
27 00:03:12.360 ⇒ 00:03:19.459 Emily Giant: Yeah, I always tell people that I don’t hate myself enough to be a morning gym person, but I agree that, like.
28 00:03:19.650 ⇒ 00:03:23.999 Emily Giant: The only thing that wakes me up is exercising. Everything else just makes me exhausted.
29 00:03:24.530 ⇒ 00:03:25.660 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.
30 00:03:26.260 ⇒ 00:03:30.130 Emily Giant: Well, Ademolade, you’re back in Nigeria now, aren’t you?
31 00:03:31.260 ⇒ 00:03:35.990 Demilade Agboola: Oh, yes, I am. Got in yesterday. Actually, no, the day before yesterday.
32 00:03:36.250 ⇒ 00:03:39.980 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, it’s fine, I’m in the capital.
33 00:03:40.320 ⇒ 00:03:42.260 Demilade Agboola: So it’s pretty chill.
34 00:03:42.530 ⇒ 00:03:43.530 Emily Giant: Nice!
35 00:03:43.850 ⇒ 00:03:58.049 Uttam Kumaran: Nice, dude, I’d love to see some pictures, or pictures with your family whenever. That’s a really, really, like… I’ve always wanted to visit, as soon as I started listening to Afrobeats, like, for the last, like, 4 years straight.
36 00:03:58.320 ⇒ 00:03:59.500 Uttam Kumaran: You know.
37 00:03:59.500 ⇒ 00:04:02.840 Demilade Agboola: Actually, at one point, I wanted to curate, like, an Afrobeats playlist and send it to.
38 00:04:02.840 ⇒ 00:04:05.010 Uttam Kumaran: Jeez. Yes, you need to get it.
39 00:04:05.010 ⇒ 00:04:06.159 Emily Giant: For all of us.
40 00:04:06.160 ⇒ 00:04:10.879 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, deep cuts, like, because I only listened, you know, I listened to the top folks.
41 00:04:11.020 ⇒ 00:04:14.149 Uttam Kumaran: But I could only listen to so much Burnaboy.
42 00:04:15.350 ⇒ 00:04:25.489 Uttam Kumaran: to get, like, other folks. That would be amazing, dude. I’m… I’m listening to extremely fast-paced tech house these past two weeks, because…
43 00:04:25.710 ⇒ 00:04:35.039 Uttam Kumaran: I’m doing a lot of, like… I’m back doing a lot of work here, and I’ve sort of carved out a lot of my afternoons for development work, so…
44 00:04:35.240 ⇒ 00:04:39.930 Uttam Kumaran: I, like, actually get to listen to, like, Music again, which is great.
45 00:04:39.930 ⇒ 00:04:45.989 Emily Giant: Yeah, that’s fun. I went through, like, a Ethiopian jazz phase, but I knew.
46 00:04:45.990 ⇒ 00:04:46.680 Uttam Kumaran: Wow.
47 00:04:46.680 ⇒ 00:04:48.010 Emily Giant: a new…
48 00:04:48.110 ⇒ 00:04:53.630 Emily Giant: like, Afrobeats would be really great if you could do that playlist, that would be really, really cool.
49 00:04:54.230 ⇒ 00:04:56.500 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sounds good. Does everyone use Spotify?
50 00:04:56.990 ⇒ 00:04:57.940 Uttam Kumaran: Yes.
51 00:04:57.940 ⇒ 00:04:59.219 Demilade Agboola: Alright, sounds good then.
52 00:05:00.140 ⇒ 00:05:01.320 Uttam Kumaran: Yes!
53 00:05:02.220 ⇒ 00:05:03.660 Amber Lin: I…
54 00:05:03.660 ⇒ 00:05:04.240 Emily Giant: Hi.
55 00:05:05.750 ⇒ 00:05:08.190 Amber Lin: Good morning. Good morning.
56 00:05:08.350 ⇒ 00:05:10.379 Amber Lin: I also would like the playlist.
57 00:05:11.540 ⇒ 00:05:26.180 Amber Lin: Sharing my screen… I think quite a few tickets carried over, so might have to push something out. Currently, we’re at 94, and I don’t think we can get 94 done.
58 00:05:26.330 ⇒ 00:05:32.709 Amber Lin: I think of these, probably…
59 00:05:32.950 ⇒ 00:05:35.000 Demilade Agboola: I think we’re gonna close to…
60 00:05:36.070 ⇒ 00:05:39.259 Demilade Agboola: like, the PR ones, they all.
61 00:05:39.260 ⇒ 00:05:39.610 Amber Lin: Okay.
62 00:05:39.610 ⇒ 00:05:40.920 Demilade Agboola: They would be much, yeah.
63 00:05:41.930 ⇒ 00:05:49.160 Emily Giant: Yeah, and I have a bunch in PR review also, so that will make it look more sane, too, if we just, like, move those out.
64 00:05:52.140 ⇒ 00:05:55.660 Amber Lin: So these were… I’ll just say that they’re… no, I’ll move them back.
65 00:05:55.660 ⇒ 00:05:56.370 Emily Giant: Yeah.
66 00:05:58.770 ⇒ 00:06:01.909 Uttam Kumaran: And I have one in PR view, one…
67 00:06:02.740 ⇒ 00:06:05.579 Uttam Kumaran: It’s just sitting there, I need to create a PR.
68 00:06:06.860 ⇒ 00:06:09.770 Uttam Kumaran: So this one…
69 00:06:10.260 ⇒ 00:06:18.279 Uttam Kumaran: They’re… so, let’s talk about 290. They’re talking… they’re giving me a little bit of issue. Not sure what’s gonna end up happening here.
70 00:06:18.560 ⇒ 00:06:27.260 Uttam Kumaran: Because Northbeam, it’s… Yeah, one way or the other, I think we… if…
71 00:06:27.560 ⇒ 00:06:36.740 Uttam Kumaran: I need to just talk to the Northbeam team one more time. If they’re taking the attribution from Shopify, then I can also get that directly from Shopify.
72 00:06:36.990 ⇒ 00:06:40.090 Uttam Kumaran: But… Yeah, this is still blocked.
73 00:06:40.660 ⇒ 00:06:42.969 Uttam Kumaran: Back transaction… yeah, sorry, go ahead.
74 00:06:43.690 ⇒ 00:06:45.329 Amber Lin: No, nothing, I want.
75 00:06:45.330 ⇒ 00:06:48.760 Uttam Kumaran: Fact transactions, this is in review.
76 00:06:51.390 ⇒ 00:07:09.020 Uttam Kumaran: Actually, all of the transactions… or… Staging Shop… oh, so 280… 280… And 281 are also interviewed.
77 00:07:15.400 ⇒ 00:07:21.789 Uttam Kumaran: And then, could we also add a ticket for me for this week? I want to do a cursor onboarding.
78 00:07:21.960 ⇒ 00:07:23.900 Emily Giant: Yes. Sorry, that was…
79 00:07:24.740 ⇒ 00:07:25.739 Uttam Kumaran: Over the period.
80 00:07:25.740 ⇒ 00:07:28.150 Emily Giant: on my end, but I am excited about that.
81 00:07:28.150 ⇒ 00:07:31.159 Uttam Kumaran: I did not get to do that last week, and…
82 00:07:31.360 ⇒ 00:07:36.240 Uttam Kumaran: I want to do that this week. I’ll just… I’ll do that just for this group.
83 00:07:36.390 ⇒ 00:07:41.499 Uttam Kumaran: And I’ll sort of share how I’m using Cursor and what’s the best way. I would love to do that.
84 00:07:42.290 ⇒ 00:07:43.440 Uttam Kumaran: We do have… I would love to…
85 00:07:43.440 ⇒ 00:07:46.070 Amber Lin: on Thursday, with all the analysts.
86 00:07:47.060 ⇒ 00:07:53.859 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know if all the analysts are gonna be in it, maybe we can replace, like, our stand-up on Thursday with this.
87 00:07:54.360 ⇒ 00:07:55.459 Amber Lin: Okay.
88 00:07:55.460 ⇒ 00:07:56.550 Uttam Kumaran: You’re okay with that?
89 00:07:58.620 ⇒ 00:08:01.049 Uttam Kumaran: Since we already have that blocked out.
90 00:08:04.890 ⇒ 00:08:11.129 Uttam Kumaran: I’ll actually ask Alex, too, if maybe he wants… if he wants to come, or Emily, do you know if anyone else on the team would be, like, curious?
91 00:08:11.130 ⇒ 00:08:12.330 Emily Giant: Probably Tazdiq.
92 00:08:13.010 ⇒ 00:08:13.660 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
93 00:08:14.920 ⇒ 00:08:20.220 Amber Lin: Emily, I think you can invite people to this event, so if you wanna…
94 00:08:20.330 ⇒ 00:08:24.060 Amber Lin: Invite, the person you mentioned, feel free to just add them.
95 00:08:24.060 ⇒ 00:08:25.320 Emily Giant: Oh, yeah, cool.
96 00:08:26.610 ⇒ 00:08:27.150 Amber Lin: Yep.
97 00:08:28.010 ⇒ 00:08:32.450 Amber Lin: Okay, we’re at 72, so I think that’s better.
98 00:08:32.630 ⇒ 00:08:35.330 Amber Lin: I’m gonna mark this as done.
99 00:08:38.110 ⇒ 00:08:39.010 Amber Lin: Okay.
100 00:08:40.630 ⇒ 00:08:45.459 Amber Lin: Whoa… Let’s add…
101 00:08:46.410 ⇒ 00:08:56.359 Amber Lin: due dates to these. Also, I think 26th might be too much to finish, so is there anything we can…
102 00:08:57.020 ⇒ 00:09:04.300 Amber Lin: We can move, or… Reallocate.
103 00:09:14.610 ⇒ 00:09:18.769 Demilade Agboola: So, for instance, some of them, like 310, kind of…
104 00:09:18.910 ⇒ 00:09:22.269 Demilade Agboola: It’s in, like, hand-in-hand with 272.
105 00:09:26.610 ⇒ 00:09:33.660 Demilade Agboola: And potentially, we could take out some of the, like, maybe weekly and monthly, and just have, like, the marketing left.
106 00:09:36.560 ⇒ 00:09:44.389 Amber Lin: Subscription… so also, I assume also for subscription snapshots? I can move this one out.
107 00:09:45.240 ⇒ 00:09:46.150 Demilade Agboola: Yam.
108 00:09:46.380 ⇒ 00:09:47.190 Amber Lin: Okay.
109 00:09:48.800 ⇒ 00:09:56.360 Amber Lin: I mean… And then on this one… On the cycle.
110 00:09:57.390 ⇒ 00:10:02.109 Amber Lin: Okay, I think this is a more manageable point.
111 00:10:02.790 ⇒ 00:10:12.699 Amber Lin: Emily, same with here. These are mostly Looker sessions. I assume they’re all blocked because we’re not done yet, right?
112 00:10:12.950 ⇒ 00:10:13.720 Emily Giant: Correct.
113 00:10:13.720 ⇒ 00:10:14.510 Amber Lin: Okay.
114 00:10:14.870 ⇒ 00:10:16.200 Amber Lin: Change that.
115 00:10:18.850 ⇒ 00:10:24.299 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so let’s… I think, yeah, let’s see…
116 00:10:24.890 ⇒ 00:10:28.560 Amber Lin: I think this one could be… could be soon in transactions, we could do.
117 00:10:28.560 ⇒ 00:10:31.480 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, those two, hopefully this sprint.
118 00:10:31.480 ⇒ 00:10:32.200 Amber Lin: Okay.
119 00:10:37.010 ⇒ 00:10:39.830 Demilade Agboola: But we already have, like, fact line items, though.
120 00:10:40.190 ⇒ 00:10:41.300 Demilade Agboola: Hmm. So…
121 00:10:49.190 ⇒ 00:10:54.120 Amber Lin: do, I think probably suborders we can do next week.
122 00:10:55.710 ⇒ 00:10:56.889 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah.
123 00:10:56.890 ⇒ 00:10:57.570 Amber Lin: Okay.
124 00:10:58.120 ⇒ 00:11:01.490 Amber Lin: So I’ll say this is for…
125 00:11:04.740 ⇒ 00:11:07.559 Amber Lin: End of this cycle, these…
126 00:11:11.530 ⇒ 00:11:15.030 Amber Lin: This week… Okay.
127 00:11:20.060 ⇒ 00:11:26.259 Amber Lin: Are we doing these sessions with these teams that cycle? Is that possible, or should I move it out?
128 00:11:29.560 ⇒ 00:11:34.389 Amber Lin: I think that would require us to be done with a lot of the modeling and the summary tables.
129 00:11:34.390 ⇒ 00:11:39.400 Emily Giant: Yeah, I think that it’d be safer to move it out, and just, like, really nail down the tables.
130 00:11:39.400 ⇒ 00:11:39.870 Amber Lin: Okay.
131 00:11:39.870 ⇒ 00:11:44.439 Emily Giant: When we don’t do it, we don’t have to do a lot the next round.
132 00:11:45.570 ⇒ 00:11:46.370 Amber Lin: Okay.
133 00:11:47.100 ⇒ 00:11:51.599 Amber Lin: So, I’ll also say, end this cycle…
134 00:11:53.570 ⇒ 00:11:57.420 Amber Lin: For these historical ones, are they still blocked?
135 00:11:58.160 ⇒ 00:12:03.430 Emily Giant: They’ll be blocked until we know what the new structure with loop is going to look like.
136 00:12:03.430 ⇒ 00:12:04.900 Amber Lin: Hmm, okay, I see.
137 00:12:04.900 ⇒ 00:12:05.250 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
138 00:12:06.000 ⇒ 00:12:09.490 Amber Lin: Are they all, like, 1 or 2 point tickets?
139 00:12:09.910 ⇒ 00:12:14.290 Emily Giant: No. The Align Historical would be, like, 5.
140 00:12:14.460 ⇒ 00:12:15.520 Uttam Kumaran: Right, yeah.
141 00:12:16.580 ⇒ 00:12:20.430 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I’m gonna work on Loop after I do this Shopify stuff.
142 00:12:21.130 ⇒ 00:12:22.180 Amber Lin: Okay.
143 00:12:22.830 ⇒ 00:12:25.790 Amber Lin: And then the paid media one is about…
144 00:12:29.040 ⇒ 00:12:33.689 Uttam Kumaran: paid media stuff, this is gonna be based on Northbeam, right?
145 00:12:34.460 ⇒ 00:12:37.619 Uttam Kumaran: We can get it? Yeah, so, probably similarly.
146 00:12:40.270 ⇒ 00:12:43.270 Uttam Kumaran: It’s a real bummer, a little formal.
147 00:12:43.270 ⇒ 00:12:43.930 Amber Lin: Okay.
148 00:12:48.290 ⇒ 00:12:54.919 Amber Lin: We’ll set the due… what’s a reasonable due date we can set, or are we waiting… still waiting on…
149 00:12:56.230 ⇒ 00:12:58.350 Amber Lin: I’ll say end of cycle, we’ll figure it out.
150 00:12:58.350 ⇒ 00:12:59.989 Emily Giant: Yeah, that’s… I think that’s fine.
151 00:12:59.990 ⇒ 00:13:01.050 Amber Lin: Okay.
152 00:13:01.840 ⇒ 00:13:08.400 Amber Lin: And then… Usman, for your tickets here…
153 00:13:15.760 ⇒ 00:13:16.510 Amber Lin: Okay.
154 00:13:17.510 ⇒ 00:13:19.330 Amber Lin: Is this something worth doing?
155 00:13:19.800 ⇒ 00:13:21.610 Amber Lin: For Hevo Pipelines?
156 00:13:22.090 ⇒ 00:13:25.700 Uttam Kumaran: Can you click on this?
157 00:13:26.420 ⇒ 00:13:27.570 Uttam Kumaran: Pretty sure.
158 00:13:32.310 ⇒ 00:13:34.970 Amber Lin: So this is a month ago, so I’m not sure if it’s still valid.
159 00:13:36.390 ⇒ 00:13:41.320 Uttam Kumaran: This is just not a pre… I’m sort of just continuing what is already there, so I’m not, like…
160 00:13:41.540 ⇒ 00:13:45.280 Uttam Kumaran: doing anything specific on this stuff,
161 00:13:45.990 ⇒ 00:13:52.790 Uttam Kumaran: I think you can mark it as done, because as part of the new transactions logic, this is covered in the documentation I’m writing, so…
162 00:13:52.790 ⇒ 00:13:53.440 Amber Lin: Okay.
163 00:13:54.090 ⇒ 00:14:02.989 Amber Lin: Awesome. I assume these still need to be done. I’ll say, when do you want due dates for these to be?
164 00:14:03.410 ⇒ 00:14:03.930 Amber Lin: So the…
165 00:14:03.930 ⇒ 00:14:04.940 Uttam Kumaran: This is for transit.
166 00:14:05.060 ⇒ 00:14:07.460 Amber Lin: This week is fine. Okay.
167 00:14:07.640 ⇒ 00:14:09.130 Uttam Kumaran: for transactions.
168 00:14:09.740 ⇒ 00:14:14.690 Amber Lin: And then for subscriptions… .
169 00:14:15.540 ⇒ 00:14:25.339 Uttam Kumaran: I think I’m gonna try to build fax subscriptions probably next week. I wanna get through all the Shopify stuff, so… all the core transactions-related tickets.
170 00:14:26.870 ⇒ 00:14:29.709 Amber Lin: Is there additional tickets you want me to create?
171 00:14:30.980 ⇒ 00:14:32.320 Uttam Kumaran: No, that’s fine.
172 00:14:32.510 ⇒ 00:14:33.250 Amber Lin: Okay.
173 00:14:33.370 ⇒ 00:14:35.720 Uttam Kumaran: I think it’s all covered under the five points there.
174 00:14:35.950 ⇒ 00:14:36.650 Amber Lin: Okay.
175 00:14:36.650 ⇒ 00:14:38.370 Uttam Kumaran: Or 274 and 281.
176 00:14:38.370 ⇒ 00:14:47.040 Amber Lin: 27421, okay. And then… is… is this something we’re still doing for DIB products?
177 00:14:52.150 ⇒ 00:14:58.340 Uttam Kumaran: E… yes, I don’t… I… yes, this is… this is still to do.
178 00:14:59.100 ⇒ 00:15:03.539 Uttam Kumaran: So, I guess, can we also put, Emily, who is best to,
179 00:15:03.790 ⇒ 00:15:05.960 Uttam Kumaran: Get feedback on this from the analyst, Kurt.
180 00:15:06.630 ⇒ 00:15:07.540 Emily Giant: Perry.
181 00:15:07.540 ⇒ 00:15:10.260 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. Great. So, I’m just gonna…
182 00:15:10.750 ⇒ 00:15:16.270 Uttam Kumaran: Should I just assume Perry for things? I sort of, like, want to get… Okay, okay.
183 00:15:16.270 ⇒ 00:15:18.749 Emily Giant: If it’s marketing, PK. If it’s…
184 00:15:19.250 ⇒ 00:15:22.060 Emily Giant: Inventory, Felipe, if it’s anything else, Perry.
185 00:15:22.240 ⇒ 00:15:28.619 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great. Yeah, as I just ship stuff, I want them to start running selects and just peek at it. Are they…
186 00:15:28.780 ⇒ 00:15:36.199 Uttam Kumaran: Is everybody, like, can they all access stuff via Table Plus, or are they, like, they need it in Looker?
187 00:15:36.390 ⇒ 00:15:43.789 Emily Giant: They would need it in Looker, and they’re not going to be able to run selects, they’ll have to do it, like, via the Looker interface, but…
188 00:15:43.790 ⇒ 00:15:50.470 Uttam Kumaran: what do you think is best? Like, should I ship, should I, like, ship them…
189 00:15:50.570 ⇒ 00:15:53.920 Uttam Kumaran: there’s a couple ways we can do this. I can either give them, like, a Excel.
190 00:15:54.210 ⇒ 00:15:54.750 Emily Giant: Hmm.
191 00:15:54.750 ⇒ 00:16:01.640 Uttam Kumaran: snippet. I can also… quickly create like, an explorer?
192 00:16:02.140 ⇒ 00:16:04.589 Uttam Kumaran: And just use the Looker Autofill.
193 00:16:04.590 ⇒ 00:16:08.770 Emily Giant: I would just do that. That’s gonna be the least…
194 00:16:08.900 ⇒ 00:16:12.570 Emily Giant: Lyft with you having to explain stuff, because they’ll know how to do it.
195 00:16:14.460 ⇒ 00:16:17.979 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, and then you’re… okay, okay, cool, alright, great.
196 00:16:20.620 ⇒ 00:16:21.200 Amber Lin: Oh.
197 00:16:21.570 ⇒ 00:16:27.929 Amber Lin: Is there a ticket for Loop, or is that just included in the subscriptions?
198 00:16:28.240 ⇒ 00:16:31.710 Uttam Kumaran: The loop, ingestion is done.
199 00:16:31.910 ⇒ 00:16:32.920 Amber Lin: Okay, I see.
200 00:16:32.920 ⇒ 00:16:37.729 Uttam Kumaran: I think I may have… we may have closed that one, but that’s what’s… that data is powering this, yeah.
201 00:16:41.370 ⇒ 00:16:49.240 Amber Lin: Okay, apart from these ones in PR review, I think you have…
202 00:16:49.980 ⇒ 00:16:55.619 Amber Lin: 19 points, which is about 20 hours per week.
203 00:16:55.970 ⇒ 00:16:59.640 Amber Lin: Is that too much? Which ones would you like to move out?
204 00:16:59.860 ⇒ 00:17:01.960 Amber Lin: Also have… Do we deterg?
205 00:17:01.960 ⇒ 00:17:02.579 Uttam Kumaran: That’s right.
206 00:17:02.580 ⇒ 00:17:04.429 Amber Lin: As far as indem products…
207 00:17:05.339 ⇒ 00:17:09.739 Uttam Kumaran: Can you… if I can just scroll to see everything that’s on my plate.
208 00:17:09.740 ⇒ 00:17:10.270 Amber Lin: Huh?
209 00:17:15.829 ⇒ 00:17:20.189 Uttam Kumaran: I would move… Subscription summary.
210 00:17:25.729 ⇒ 00:17:32.129 Uttam Kumaran: And I would move… The dbt tests…
211 00:17:35.380 ⇒ 00:17:37.569 Amber Lin: For subscriptions and transactions?
212 00:17:39.030 ⇒ 00:17:41.280 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I would just move these out, yeah.
213 00:17:42.940 ⇒ 00:17:45.860 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Who’s this I’m comfortable with?
214 00:17:46.130 ⇒ 00:17:55.579 Amber Lin: Okay, and then for this DIM product ticket, and then this OMS refund ticket, when are we doing it? This week or next week?
215 00:18:00.710 ⇒ 00:18:05.300 Uttam Kumaran: 279 is this week.
216 00:18:08.490 ⇒ 00:18:14.850 Uttam Kumaran: 3.23, I feel like I can also get this week. I’m gonna aim to try to get as much of this done this week, but…
217 00:18:14.850 ⇒ 00:18:15.440 Amber Lin: Okay.
218 00:18:15.440 ⇒ 00:18:16.110 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
219 00:18:16.580 ⇒ 00:18:17.529 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
220 00:18:17.530 ⇒ 00:18:23.560 Uttam Kumaran: The game is… I don’t… it’s sort of blocked by them, so you can play End of this week, too, but I’m kind of going back and forth with them.
221 00:18:23.920 ⇒ 00:18:24.560 Amber Lin: Okay.
222 00:18:25.710 ⇒ 00:18:27.020 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
223 00:18:27.570 ⇒ 00:18:30.710 Amber Lin: Oh, Emily, I missed one here.
224 00:18:31.380 ⇒ 00:18:37.219 Emily Giant: That one, just… you can put that in won’t do. It’ll fix itself when we do all the subscription stuff.
225 00:18:37.860 ⇒ 00:18:39.280 Amber Lin: Okay.
226 00:18:39.690 ⇒ 00:18:52.559 Amber Lin: Let me check if we have any additional… One’s coming in… I’ll mark that as long…
227 00:18:52.910 ⇒ 00:18:57.020 Amber Lin: For this one, unscheduled models, is that one time?
228 00:18:59.390 ⇒ 00:19:03.359 Uttam Kumaran: No, this one I’m gonna… this one, I’m gonna wait until Emily’s PR…
229 00:19:06.500 ⇒ 00:19:07.300 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
230 00:19:08.090 ⇒ 00:19:09.729 Emily Giant: Are those notes helpful, Oh, Tom?
231 00:19:10.010 ⇒ 00:19:15.419 Uttam Kumaran: Those notes are helpful, yeah. I just need to, like, block out time and do that.
232 00:19:15.420 ⇒ 00:19:23.540 Emily Giant: Yeah, and if there’s anything I can do to, like, con… like, continue breaking it into chunks, let me know. My… like, that was…
233 00:19:23.750 ⇒ 00:19:35.069 Emily Giant: a huge portion of the work I was doing, that PR, obviously, there was models that were changed, so I do have more time this week to, like, break it up, and if there’s anything I can do to, like, help.
234 00:19:35.530 ⇒ 00:19:36.580 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
235 00:19:37.190 ⇒ 00:19:43.390 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that you weren’t getting hit by other people to, like, get it out, and I was like.
236 00:19:43.800 ⇒ 00:19:45.550 Uttam Kumaran: We should do this the right way, I just need, like.
237 00:19:45.550 ⇒ 00:19:46.050 Emily Giant: Yeah.
238 00:19:46.050 ⇒ 00:19:46.860 Uttam Kumaran: guarantee.
239 00:19:46.860 ⇒ 00:19:50.059 Emily Giant: No, they can wait. They’ve waited this long. Okay. So…
240 00:19:50.060 ⇒ 00:19:57.280 Uttam Kumaran: You can blame me, but they’re gonna ask me, and they’re gonna… it’s good reason, stuff like that, yeah.
241 00:19:57.410 ⇒ 00:20:02.000 Emily Giant: I think they’re used to my glacial pace, so… It’s fine.
242 00:20:02.990 ⇒ 00:20:04.390 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
243 00:20:07.400 ⇒ 00:20:16.650 Amber Lin: Let me add due dates, I don’t know if the deadline for your tickets. Let me cancel these…
244 00:20:17.570 ⇒ 00:20:24.749 Amber Lin: First… So for fax orders, when would that be done?
245 00:20:25.830 ⇒ 00:20:30.999 Demilade Agboola: So fact orders should be end of this week, all things being equal, fact orders…
246 00:20:32.300 ⇒ 00:20:35.050 Demilade Agboola: This is today.
247 00:20:35.520 ⇒ 00:20:36.160 Amber Lin: Huh.
248 00:20:39.290 ⇒ 00:20:44.740 Demilade Agboola: And then… Test for Fact Daughter is also end of this week.
249 00:20:47.640 ⇒ 00:20:52.180 Demilade Agboola: Facts or borders.
250 00:20:52.690 ⇒ 00:20:56.639 Demilade Agboola: Should be… It’s maybe, like, early next week?
251 00:20:57.160 ⇒ 00:20:58.300 Demilade Agboola: Ideally.
252 00:21:00.290 ⇒ 00:21:03.559 Demilade Agboola: Not tomorrow, like, next… probably next week.
253 00:21:05.490 ⇒ 00:21:09.409 Demilade Agboola: I think we stopped.
254 00:21:09.410 ⇒ 00:21:11.750 Amber Lin: We’re not done. Oh, okay.
255 00:21:11.750 ⇒ 00:21:13.429 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, or maybe…
256 00:21:13.430 ⇒ 00:21:20.850 Amber Lin: Are you ready to do it in a cycle? Because we still have some… some… we don’t have all the revenue summary tables.
257 00:21:21.800 ⇒ 00:21:27.570 Demilade Agboola: I mean, yeah, definitely… You know, let’s just put it in backlog for now.
258 00:21:28.130 ⇒ 00:21:28.850 Amber Lin: Okay.
259 00:21:29.910 ⇒ 00:21:32.669 Amber Lin: I’ll put it to the next cycle.
260 00:21:33.280 ⇒ 00:21:34.000 Amber Lin: Okay.
261 00:21:35.350 ⇒ 00:21:39.559 Amber Lin: The two dbt tests… oh, this one, suborders.
262 00:21:41.490 ⇒ 00:21:43.829 Demilade Agboola: So Soul Border should be around the 9th as well.
263 00:21:44.130 ⇒ 00:21:44.840 Amber Lin: Okay.
264 00:21:49.560 ⇒ 00:21:57.740 Amber Lin: And then daily revenue summary. Would you, by then, have enough to do the daily revenue summary?
265 00:21:58.430 ⇒ 00:22:05.970 Demilade Agboola: It depends on, like, the other models, or things like transactions and stuff. If those are right.
266 00:22:05.970 ⇒ 00:22:09.819 Amber Lin: Well, all we will be missing would be the…
267 00:22:10.180 ⇒ 00:22:15.669 Amber Lin: The subscriptions Revenue Summary. I think we have everything else. We have transactions.
268 00:22:16.480 ⇒ 00:22:21.200 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, let’s just… let’s just put that, like, end of cycle.
269 00:22:21.390 ⇒ 00:22:22.340 Amber Lin: Okay.
270 00:22:22.540 ⇒ 00:22:24.279 Amber Lin: Well, same with the revenue.
271 00:22:26.320 ⇒ 00:22:27.210 Amber Lin: Okay.
272 00:22:27.460 ⇒ 00:22:43.410 Amber Lin: You’re at 19 points, probably a little bit less since these are in progress. I think that’s reasonable. Emily’s at 17, UTAM without the wants of PR, are at 14 points, which I think is manageable.
273 00:22:44.180 ⇒ 00:22:45.370 Amber Lin: Okay.
274 00:22:45.680 ⇒ 00:22:46.890 Emily Giant: Just quick…
275 00:22:46.890 ⇒ 00:22:48.300 Amber Lin: note.
276 00:22:48.440 ⇒ 00:22:54.880 Emily Giant: in… not this week, not next week, but in 2 weeks, I’m gone for 2 weeks. So, I just want to make sure everyone.
277 00:22:54.880 ⇒ 00:22:55.590 Amber Lin: Hold on a sec.
278 00:22:55.590 ⇒ 00:22:58.669 Emily Giant: Really set up, and has that in the back of their head.
279 00:22:59.580 ⇒ 00:23:00.819 Emily Giant: For one that happens.
280 00:23:00.820 ⇒ 00:23:02.040 Amber Lin: Next cycle.
281 00:23:02.250 ⇒ 00:23:03.600 Emily Giant: Yep, exactly.
282 00:23:04.460 ⇒ 00:23:05.659 Amber Lin: Gotcha, okay.
283 00:23:06.360 ⇒ 00:23:07.279 Amber Lin: Let me see if I…
284 00:23:07.280 ⇒ 00:23:09.669 Emily Giant: And I’ll still be reachable,
285 00:23:09.940 ⇒ 00:23:18.870 Emily Giant: because I don’t want to, like, be the blocker here, but, I will be at Oktoberfest for at least 3 of those days, so I don’t think anyone.
286 00:23:18.870 ⇒ 00:23:19.630 Uttam Kumaran: That’s lovely.
287 00:23:19.630 ⇒ 00:23:20.880 Emily Giant: To talk to me.
288 00:23:21.090 ⇒ 00:23:28.080 Uttam Kumaran: I think the biggest thing is, as long as, like, we can start the cadence of, like, I can go direct to the analysts for reviews on stuff, then we’ll be good, yeah.
289 00:23:28.080 ⇒ 00:23:35.320 Emily Giant: That’s what I was thinking. As long as we can, like, really work towards that being, like, analyst time, then we should be totally fine.
290 00:23:35.320 ⇒ 00:23:40.229 Amber Lin: Should we ask them to carve out working sessions for next cycle?
291 00:23:42.110 ⇒ 00:23:51.199 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know… yeah, I just think, like, they… I just want to be able to DM them, or at least in that channel, basically, so I can ask them for feedback.
292 00:23:52.070 ⇒ 00:23:52.820 Amber Lin: Okay.
293 00:23:54.960 ⇒ 00:23:57.370 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
294 00:23:58.160 ⇒ 00:24:10.070 Amber Lin: We have 6 minutes left. I do… we haven’t done a retro in a very, very long time. I’m just gonna pull it up so we can put some thoughts, on that board.
295 00:24:10.750 ⇒ 00:24:18.630 Emily Giant: And… Remember, I’m gonna send out the, email today to Monarchy. I’m gonna also add the analysts.
296 00:24:18.820 ⇒ 00:24:23.539 Emily Giant: So, thank you so much for putting that together. I was just waiting for Zach to, like.
297 00:24:23.730 ⇒ 00:24:28.629 Emily Giant: give it the ultimate green light, and this morning we chatted, and he was like, yeah, go ahead and send it out, so thank you.
298 00:24:28.630 ⇒ 00:24:32.100 Amber Lin: That’s some good feedback, too, so I’m glad we asked.
299 00:24:34.090 ⇒ 00:24:36.569 Amber Lin: That went well…
300 00:24:39.700 ⇒ 00:24:40.410 Amber Lin: Okay.
301 00:24:40.910 ⇒ 00:24:46.500 Amber Lin: Can we just put some quick stickies there to… to reflect and…
302 00:24:46.740 ⇒ 00:24:49.039 Amber Lin: See what we can do better this sprint.
303 00:24:52.890 ⇒ 00:24:53.910 Emily Giant: Oopsies.
304 00:27:51.180 ⇒ 00:27:59.129 Amber Lin: Okay, 2 minutes. Any action items we should do? I mo- I mostly read all of these.
305 00:27:59.290 ⇒ 00:28:07.979 Amber Lin: Usually, we would put stickies that we don’t have time. I just want to know, what is some takeaways, what are some learnings we can apply this cycle and do better?
306 00:28:09.480 ⇒ 00:28:15.640 Emily Giant: I think my main one is, making sure that my PRs aren’t massive.
307 00:28:15.930 ⇒ 00:28:17.800 Emily Giant: So that they’re reviewable?
308 00:28:18.320 ⇒ 00:28:27.589 Amber Lin: Is there a way that we can ensure that? Does it… does it mean, splitting it up, or when we’re creating it, of… how… how are we gonna do it?
309 00:28:28.360 ⇒ 00:28:38.499 Emily Giant: That’s a great question. I’ve actually asked Alex and Zach for feedback on this, too, because I was concerned two weeks ago about the size of this PR, and
310 00:28:38.660 ⇒ 00:28:50.130 Emily Giant: I think it is really, like, when I know, like, as soon as I sense that something might be, like, the blue whale, to, like.
311 00:28:50.590 ⇒ 00:29:02.120 Emily Giant: sync with UTAM, like, voice to voice, and… or Demolade, and say, like, this is what I’m looking at, this is the problem, what is the best way for me to break this up? Because, like.
312 00:29:02.240 ⇒ 00:29:13.019 Emily Giant: I’m so used to working in a silo that I’m not good at this. There’s only, like, one me on the team, and so I’m just, like, still learning how to, like.
313 00:29:13.960 ⇒ 00:29:17.159 Emily Giant: To break these up in a way that’s manageable for other people.
314 00:29:17.610 ⇒ 00:29:25.189 Emily Giant: And, I think it’s really just in the communication, so that they can tell me, with their experience, how to do it.
315 00:29:26.320 ⇒ 00:29:26.890 Amber Lin: Oh.
316 00:29:27.360 ⇒ 00:29:32.120 Amber Lin: I think the la- the next point is how do we…
317 00:29:32.860 ⇒ 00:29:38.830 Amber Lin: How do we give people more… visibility.
318 00:29:39.430 ⇒ 00:29:42.840 Amber Lin: Is there… what can we implement to do that?
319 00:29:48.170 ⇒ 00:29:48.720 Emily Giant: Mmm…
320 00:29:48.720 ⇒ 00:29:54.889 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I mean, I don’t know, I would probably push this back on you, Amber, because on my side, I think we were just, like, trying to get these
321 00:29:55.020 ⇒ 00:30:01.269 Uttam Kumaran: pass out, but I’m curious if you can maybe meet with Alex or Zach and ask them, like, hey.
322 00:30:01.380 ⇒ 00:30:06.119 Uttam Kumaran: like, probably be candid with them on, like, hey, how has communication been? What do you need to see?
323 00:30:06.260 ⇒ 00:30:16.830 Uttam Kumaran: Like, that we aren’t showing. I mean, the… they’re seeing a lot of, like, our updates or job issues, but I’m curious about, like, what they think about our feedback, our updates so far.
324 00:30:17.580 ⇒ 00:30:18.250 Emily Giant: Yeah.
325 00:30:18.480 ⇒ 00:30:20.360 Emily Giant: And, like, I think all of us…
326 00:30:20.530 ⇒ 00:30:35.340 Emily Giant: are so, like, brain-dead by the time that we talk to them, that, like, I know, speaking for myself anyway, like, I sync with them every day and tell them what we’ve done. But I am, like.
327 00:30:35.650 ⇒ 00:30:42.340 Emily Giant: we’re in that spot where we’re, like, up all night, every night, just doing it, so, like, I’m just doing such a…
328 00:30:43.050 ⇒ 00:30:46.859 Emily Giant: Surface-level job of,
329 00:30:47.080 ⇒ 00:30:54.209 Emily Giant: sharing those comms, that maybe even during our stand-up, if we just jot down, like, 3 bullet points to send to them every
330 00:31:00.550 ⇒ 00:31:01.579 Emily Giant: Something like that.
331 00:31:01.580 ⇒ 00:31:08.300 Amber Lin: Because last time, we also wrote the message to the CEO in the stand-up, essentially. I think that would.
332 00:31:08.300 ⇒ 00:31:09.160 Emily Giant: helpful.
333 00:31:09.340 ⇒ 00:31:09.680 Amber Lin: Okay.
334 00:31:09.680 ⇒ 00:31:10.680 Emily Giant: Yeah.
335 00:31:10.680 ⇒ 00:31:16.339 Amber Lin: Anything about the rework we can improve while we’re working on…
336 00:31:16.970 ⇒ 00:31:23.380 Amber Lin: Yeah, I think we already are. Like, for example, the subscriptions, we know that it’s blocked.
337 00:31:23.530 ⇒ 00:31:27.079 Emily Giant: Because we’re not doing it now. Until…
338 00:31:27.260 ⇒ 00:31:44.989 Emily Giant: like, last time, we did it in reverse, where, like, we did the historical, and then we, like, at the same time as the new inventory mart, and then it was like, oh shit, like, this is not working. And, this time, we’re not doing subscriptions until the new mart’s finished.
339 00:31:45.090 ⇒ 00:31:52.970 Emily Giant: And I think, like, that is the fix, is, like, just knowing that we don’t want to base what we’re doing off of what exists.
340 00:31:57.000 ⇒ 00:32:04.750 Amber Lin: Okay, I have to hop, so thank you for… Talk to you guys.
341 00:32:04.890 ⇒ 00:32:06.350 Amber Lin: Tomorrow.
342 00:32:06.980 ⇒ 00:32:09.680 Emily Giant: Sounds… Alright.
343 00:32:09.680 ⇒ 00:32:10.190 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you, guys.
344 00:32:10.430 ⇒ 00:32:11.520 Emily Giant: Thank you, Juan, bye.
345 00:32:11.520 ⇒ 00:32:12.280 Amber Lin: Bye.
