1 00:00:41.800 ⇒ 00:00:43.050 Amber Lin: Hello.
2 00:00:45.140 ⇒ 00:00:46.390 Demilade Agboola: Hi, Amber, how are you?
3 00:00:47.190 ⇒ 00:00:56.850 Amber Lin: very sleepy. I mostly just want to ask what we wanna… what do we want to meet the analysts about tomorrow?
4 00:00:59.390 ⇒ 00:01:03.599 Demilade Agboola: Oh, we’re missing tomorrow or Thursday, I believe it. But wait, tomorrow is Thursday.
5 00:01:03.600 ⇒ 00:01:04.370 Amber Lin: Yeah.
6 00:01:04.370 ⇒ 00:01:05.090 Demilade Agboola: Gotcha.
7 00:01:06.610 ⇒ 00:01:08.940 Demilade Agboola: Gotcha. Sometimes I get lost in days of the week.
8 00:01:09.280 ⇒ 00:01:23.480 Amber Lin: Yeah. I remember… I forgot last time we said we wanted to meet on something, but it was too early. We could also show them cursor. I was… I don’t know what we should show them.
9 00:01:24.700 ⇒ 00:01:31.279 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, also with visual and cursor. I know cursor is something that they’re big on.
10 00:01:31.450 ⇒ 00:01:38.079 Demilade Agboola: The models that we’re building are not yet necessarily ready to be shown to those stakeholders yet.
11 00:01:38.800 ⇒ 00:01:47.349 Demilade Agboola: There is some progress, but nothing, stakeholder facing right now.
12 00:01:49.390 ⇒ 00:01:53.569 Demilade Agboola: So yeah, we could definitely show them, Chris. So, I know…
13 00:01:54.240 ⇒ 00:02:00.780 Demilade Agboola: I will say, though, that, like, I know they don’t necessarily… Lean heavy into technical stuff.
14 00:02:01.370 ⇒ 00:02:05.290 Demilade Agboola: In the sense that, like, when I showed them Metaplane, they were actually quiet.
15 00:02:06.200 ⇒ 00:02:09.149 Demilade Agboola: It wasn’t necessarily, like, they were the most responsive, slash.
16 00:02:09.150 ⇒ 00:02:09.720 Amber Lin: I see.
17 00:02:09.729 ⇒ 00:02:11.129 Demilade Agboola: each crowd, yeah.
18 00:02:11.430 ⇒ 00:02:12.500 Amber Lin: I see.
19 00:02:12.690 ⇒ 00:02:24.530 Amber Lin: I just don’t… do you think it’s necessary that we meet them tomorrow? Like, I think it’s important to engage stakeholders, I just… I don’t think we’re… we have much to present.
20 00:02:26.130 ⇒ 00:02:26.745 Demilade Agboola: Oh…
21 00:02:28.880 ⇒ 00:02:37.470 Demilade Agboola: I will talk to Emily today, slash tomorrow, or more of today, because I know she, she was putting… she’s making some data available in Looker.
22 00:02:37.980 ⇒ 00:02:42.540 Demilade Agboola: If that data is available in Looker, we could potentially also show them
23 00:02:42.870 ⇒ 00:02:48.489 Demilade Agboola: that data, and ask them if they want to QA it, basically, as well.
24 00:02:48.950 ⇒ 00:02:55.020 Demilade Agboola: Because, I created, like, some facts order line, the fact line items that, you know.
25 00:02:55.630 ⇒ 00:02:58.139 Demilade Agboola: I believe she was working on it.
26 00:02:58.140 ⇒ 00:02:59.210 Amber Lin: Okay.
27 00:02:59.210 ⇒ 00:03:09.310 Demilade Agboola: So if that’s available, that’s something we could also look at as well. So maybe it’ll be half cursor, half, like, showing the database is exposed there, and getting feedback on it.
28 00:03:13.900 ⇒ 00:03:22.829 Amber Lin: Yeah, I think so. Tomorrow, I know tomorrow we’re meeting with Utam about cursor, I think Mozi Utam’s showing Emily.
29 00:03:22.990 ⇒ 00:03:25.779 Amber Lin: And then… I checked…
30 00:03:25.780 ⇒ 00:03:26.310 Demilade Agboola: March.
31 00:03:26.310 ⇒ 00:03:26.930 Amber Lin: Beautiful.
32 00:03:26.930 ⇒ 00:03:30.109 Demilade Agboola: Or the… the stakeholder meeting.
33 00:03:30.110 ⇒ 00:03:39.179 Amber Lin: Yeah. So, I think we can decide then. I just want to decide a bit earlier if we want to cancel, we should cancel today, but you think it’s likely gonna happen?
34 00:03:40.220 ⇒ 00:03:41.430 Emily Giant: Hi, everyone. Sorry.
35 00:03:41.430 ⇒ 00:03:42.370 Amber Lin: Yay!
36 00:03:42.950 ⇒ 00:03:43.860 Amber Lin: Hi, Emily.
37 00:03:43.860 ⇒ 00:03:44.250 Demilade Agboola: That’s true.
38 00:03:44.250 ⇒ 00:03:51.750 Amber Lin: We’re talking about tomorrow, what we want to do for the meeting with the stakeholders, thinking about different things we can show.
39 00:03:52.270 ⇒ 00:04:04.360 Emily Giant: What I would do if we keep it… I heard you mentioning canceling it, which I think would be fine. Like, everyone is so out of office and, like, all over the place this week that it would not be the worst thing.
40 00:04:04.360 ⇒ 00:04:15.750 Emily Giant: But I would do a review of the snapshot data in Looker. I’m working on adding it now, so that they can use it. That would be the one thing we could go over, is just, like, utilizing the snapshot data.
41 00:04:15.970 ⇒ 00:04:16.630 Amber Lin: Mmm.
42 00:04:17.399 ⇒ 00:04:31.739 Emily Giant: But we can also decide, like, a little later today, if we want to cancel. Like, if some… like, yesterday, I got derailed with some, like, errors in Looker for teams and, like, wasn’t able to do it, so I never know what the day is going to bring, if I’m going to get, like.
43 00:04:31.930 ⇒ 00:04:35.499 Emily Giant: Totally bulldozed with something else that will…
44 00:04:35.640 ⇒ 00:04:44.729 Emily Giant: make us incapable of doing that, but I would say, like, plan on that, and then maybe decide at, like, 3 o’clock, if we want to cancel it or not.
45 00:04:44.850 ⇒ 00:04:47.020 Amber Lin: Okay. Let me know.
46 00:04:47.020 ⇒ 00:04:47.930 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, sounds good.
47 00:04:47.930 ⇒ 00:04:51.780 Amber Lin: Yeah, I don’t think there’s much…
48 00:04:52.490 ⇒ 00:04:57.880 Amber Lin: And the tickets, we should go over… Let’s just do a quick…
49 00:04:57.880 ⇒ 00:05:11.349 Emily Giant: at, like, all my LookML ones. All of mine are the same. They’re all, like, adding everything to Looker, so I’m just, like, chipping through that. But Demolade, we need to figure out, like, if there’s a juncture that we have to tie back to Hivo, so that, like.
50 00:05:11.610 ⇒ 00:05:17.130 Emily Giant: we have sub-order level data. Or if we need to have Alex, like, add stuff to the Shopify.
51 00:05:17.920 ⇒ 00:05:19.230 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, I think we need to have…
52 00:05:20.440 ⇒ 00:05:21.340 Emily Giant: Alex
53 00:05:26.260 ⇒ 00:05:28.600 Emily Giant: Sorry, I think you may have cut out.
54 00:05:29.630 ⇒ 00:05:36.919 Demilade Agboola: Oh, I was thinking… yes, we need Alex to be able to, like, enrich the data, because we have sub… we have the order IDs, but not suborder IDs.
55 00:05:37.090 ⇒ 00:05:48.930 Emily Giant: Yeah, and, like, I think we probably could, with the line item ID, tie it back to Suborder and HEVO, but I’d like to, like, because of all the work you did, like, I don’t really want to have to do that. So…
56 00:05:49.160 ⇒ 00:05:50.020 Emily Giant: let’s…
57 00:05:50.020 ⇒ 00:05:50.490 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, boy.
58 00:05:50.490 ⇒ 00:05:51.660 Emily Giant: Alex?
59 00:05:52.800 ⇒ 00:05:55.879 Emily Giant: Or I’ll chat with Alex, and see…
60 00:05:56.350 ⇒ 00:06:01.139 Emily Giant: If that’s, like, something that he can do in the short term. Because they are so overloaded.
61 00:06:02.390 ⇒ 00:06:07.849 Demilade Agboola: Oh, okay. Yeah, I think that’s what we’ll just have to do in that case.
62 00:06:08.040 ⇒ 00:06:11.920 Demilade Agboola: If we can… if we can get it directly, that’s cool.
63 00:06:12.100 ⇒ 00:06:20.010 Demilade Agboola: Like, we can get to enriched, but if no, yeah, we can always try and see if we can add it from evil. Yeah. Ultimately, we’re trying to avoid HIVO as much as possible.
64 00:06:20.160 ⇒ 00:06:36.740 Emily Giant: Yeah, Hivo’s just shitty. Excuse my language, but they, like, change stuff without… they change stuff all the time, and that’s why our data breaks all the time, because if we’re not managing it constantly, then Hivo doesn’t really care how we have things set up.
65 00:06:37.530 ⇒ 00:06:38.309 Demilade Agboola: So… Yeah.
66 00:06:38.690 ⇒ 00:06:41.280 Emily Giant: Yeah. Okay, I’ll ask Alex today.
67 00:06:41.550 ⇒ 00:06:47.289 Emily Giant: I brought it up to him already this morning, after I was, like, I was just testing some of your PRs yesterday.
68 00:06:47.440 ⇒ 00:06:57.430 Emily Giant: just to, like, know how to start building out stuff in Looker, and I was like, oh man, yeah, he’s… I looked through all the tables, too, and there’s no way to do it.
69 00:06:59.690 ⇒ 00:07:02.980 Emily Giant: There’s… join back to suborder, like, you’ve done as much as you can.
70 00:07:03.920 ⇒ 00:07:13.230 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, it’s a huge… it’s a huge hole that is missing, so, like, once we can figure that out, I think that allows us to do also water level analysis.
71 00:07:13.580 ⇒ 00:07:14.830 Emily Giant: Yeah, agreed.
72 00:07:18.060 ⇒ 00:07:31.790 Amber Lin: I think we can cancel it, but I don’t know if that’s a good call or not, because people are that focused this week to listen to our sessions.
73 00:07:31.990 ⇒ 00:07:37.329 Emily Giant: Yeah, people are all over the place this week with it being a short week. Like, even Zach has been…
74 00:07:37.680 ⇒ 00:07:38.900 Emily Giant: all over the place.
75 00:07:40.170 ⇒ 00:07:42.880 Emily Giant: He’s all over the place, you know it’s a mess, so…
76 00:07:42.880 ⇒ 00:07:46.630 Amber Lin: Yeah, okay, I’ll cancel that,
77 00:07:50.540 ⇒ 00:07:54.070 Amber Lin: What should I say? I should say, canceling…
78 00:07:54.580 ⇒ 00:07:57.929 Amber Lin: So, everyone has a bit more time to work.
79 00:07:58.230 ⇒ 00:08:01.090 Emily Giant: With the short week, since everyone had Monday off.
80 00:08:08.720 ⇒ 00:08:11.630 Amber Lin: See you in 2 weeks.
81 00:08:11.970 ⇒ 00:08:14.270 Emily Giant: Yep. Question mark, sent.
82 00:08:14.270 ⇒ 00:08:22.590 Amber Lin: Okay, tomorrow’s first session with Utam is 15 minutes. Do you think we need any… do you think we need more time?
83 00:08:22.720 ⇒ 00:08:23.510 Emily Giant: Yes.
84 00:08:23.650 ⇒ 00:08:27.190 Amber Lin: Okay, I will extend that to 30…
85 00:08:27.340 ⇒ 00:08:29.249 Emily Giant: Or at least I know that I will.
86 00:08:29.260 ⇒ 00:08:38.100 Amber Lin: Okay. I have so many questions already. Gotcha. So I’ll just start it early, and then we can end it early if needed. Awesome. Okay.
87 00:08:38.700 ⇒ 00:08:43.970 Emily Giant: Alright, yay, okay, I’m just gonna keep working on Looker today, so I’ll be around if you need anything.
88 00:08:43.970 ⇒ 00:08:45.140 Amber Lin: Alright, sounds good.
89 00:08:45.140 ⇒ 00:08:52.799 Demilade Agboola: Also, the… I mean, just for heads up, the snapshot data is still, like, a PR request waiting to be merged, like, approved and then merged.
90 00:08:53.820 ⇒ 00:08:54.690 Demilade Agboola: So…
91 00:08:54.690 ⇒ 00:08:56.860 Emily Giant: Say that again? You said there’s a PR?
92 00:08:57.410 ⇒ 00:09:00.469 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, the snapshot data is basically pure.
93 00:09:00.470 ⇒ 00:09:05.130 Emily Giant: Yeah, sorry, I meant to be… I’ll go look at it after this call.
94 00:09:05.640 ⇒ 00:09:07.429 Demilade Agboola: Alright, that would be great.
95 00:09:07.890 ⇒ 00:09:08.720 Demilade Agboola: Thank you.
96 00:09:08.720 ⇒ 00:09:12.660 Emily Giant: Thanks for finishing that, and slipping that into the sprint. I’ll talk to y’all later.
97 00:09:13.990 ⇒ 00:09:14.870 Demilade Agboola: Alright, bye.
