3 00:01:26.240 ⇒ 00:01:27.580 Amber Lin: Hello?
4 00:01:28.010 ⇒ 00:01:33.829 Amber Lin: Every morning. In this meeting, I am so tired.
5 00:01:36.050 ⇒ 00:01:37.830 Amber Lin: Okay.
6 00:01:37.830 ⇒ 00:01:39.500 Demilade Agboola: Stone, 45 for you, right?
7 00:01:40.010 ⇒ 00:01:43.139 Amber Lin: Yes, it is 7.45. Hi, U, Tom!
8 00:01:43.320 ⇒ 00:01:44.040 Uttam Kumaran: bye.
9 00:01:45.450 ⇒ 00:01:50.440 Amber Lin: Do we know if Emily’s gonna be joining? I know usually Friday she has a conflict.
10 00:01:51.670 ⇒ 00:01:57.229 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, I’m gonna see feeling too great today. Apparently, she had, like, allergies, so eyes are, like, shutting.
11 00:02:00.450 ⇒ 00:02:06.530 Amber Lin: Ouch. I hope she’s okay. Okay.
12 00:02:07.740 ⇒ 00:02:21.619 Amber Lin: Looking at this one… So, how far are we from being done with fact orders?
13 00:02:22.450 ⇒ 00:02:27.029 Demilade Agboola: I should send the PR in today, and then we can be done with that.
14 00:02:27.640 ⇒ 00:02:28.600 Amber Lin: Okay.
15 00:02:29.530 ⇒ 00:02:39.150 Amber Lin: That one carried over from last sprint. And then for Emily’s, I know she’s working on the looker.
16 00:02:39.760 ⇒ 00:02:42.599 Amber Lin: Just don’t know which one’s in progress yet.
17 00:02:43.240 ⇒ 00:02:46.420 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so 342 is done.
18 00:02:50.230 ⇒ 00:02:53.300 Uttam Kumaran: 3.38 is in progress.
19 00:02:55.140 ⇒ 00:03:01.639 Uttam Kumaran: And that’s kind of, like, probably where I’m at right now. I need to send something about the North theme.
20 00:03:03.070 ⇒ 00:03:04.010 Amber Lin: So…
21 00:03:04.080 ⇒ 00:03:06.449 Uttam Kumaran: North Beam stuff. I guess I don’t…
22 00:03:07.500 ⇒ 00:03:14.399 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t know, Demolado, what should we do for Northam? They said we can’t get some of this data out because it’s Shopify.
23 00:03:18.730 ⇒ 00:03:22.920 Demilade Agboola: So, the difference between Shopify, but it’s not just… it’s not enough thing.
24 00:03:24.450 ⇒ 00:03:30.939 Uttam Kumaran: Well, like, the North Beam… Northbeam basically has attribution data.
25 00:03:32.290 ⇒ 00:03:36.010 Uttam Kumaran: like, it’s like marketing attribution, but basically, the North Beam.
26 00:03:43.300 ⇒ 00:03:44.260 Demilade Agboola: Hello?
27 00:03:44.260 ⇒ 00:03:45.160 Amber Lin: Hello?
28 00:03:46.360 ⇒ 00:03:47.620 Demilade Agboola: I think Michael’s helped.
29 00:03:48.470 ⇒ 00:03:49.200 Amber Lin: Yeah.
30 00:03:49.880 ⇒ 00:03:51.500 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, sorry, okay, how about?
31 00:03:52.680 ⇒ 00:03:59.080 Uttam Kumaran: They’re… they were basically saying that their data is just based on Shopify, and so…
32 00:04:00.150 ⇒ 00:04:08.509 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, they gave some excuse. So, like, I guess I need to figure out, like, whether the source of truth from this is actually just coming from Shopify.
33 00:04:09.120 ⇒ 00:04:15.449 Uttam Kumaran: And there’s, like, Northbeam is just, like, a… yeah, I don’t know, I need to call… I need to call somebody about this.
34 00:04:15.610 ⇒ 00:04:19.600 Demilade Agboola: Can you share the, like, what NorthVim has? Like, what… what that looks like?
35 00:04:20.180 ⇒ 00:04:21.000 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
36 00:04:21.360 ⇒ 00:04:28.789 Uttam Kumaran: I will, I can log in and send it to you.
37 00:04:29.130 ⇒ 00:04:33.219 Demilade Agboola: Okay, is there the… do you have the login… is it login in OnePass?
38 00:04:34.030 ⇒ 00:04:38.870 Uttam Kumaran: Let me… Let me just see, let me check if I have it. Hold up.
39 00:04:42.690 ⇒ 00:04:44.680 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, it is in…
40 00:04:49.080 ⇒ 00:04:55.919 Uttam Kumaran: Let me just make sure what… because I’m maybe in, like, another person’s… Yeah, it’s in 1Password.
41 00:04:57.160 ⇒ 00:05:01.870 Uttam Kumaran: We move into the urban stems, okay.
42 00:05:02.490 ⇒ 00:05:05.589 Demilade Agboola: Okay? Alright.
43 00:05:07.090 ⇒ 00:05:15.310 Uttam Kumaran: And then, my… I guess I also want to talk about, dude, like, editing this… editing this repo is nightmare, bro.
44 00:05:15.810 ⇒ 00:05:17.600 Demilade Agboola: I…
45 00:05:20.010 ⇒ 00:05:21.220 Uttam Kumaran: I, like.
46 00:05:21.510 ⇒ 00:05:23.980 Demilade Agboola: Don’t know what to do, because…
47 00:05:24.100 ⇒ 00:05:36.200 Uttam Kumaran: some of these models I can’t test in staging, because they’re just take… like, I guess I just have to go one by one. I tried to make a bunch of changes, like, something failed, I couldn’t isolate it, like…
48 00:05:37.080 ⇒ 00:05:41.450 Uttam Kumaran: And their SLAs for updates are, like, 4 hours, so if something messes up.
49 00:05:41.610 ⇒ 00:05:45.880 Uttam Kumaran: we get a ping, so, like, I don’t know, I feel like I have to do this on the weekend.
50 00:05:47.000 ⇒ 00:05:53.000 Demilade Agboola: Okay, what changes do you want to do? Is it, like, the one that Emily wants to bring in, or is it something else?
51 00:05:53.000 ⇒ 00:06:00.089 Uttam Kumaran: Well, it’s the… well, I think it’s cha- moving stuff to the new folder is one thing, and then there’s a bunch of snapshot…
52 00:06:00.190 ⇒ 00:06:02.950 Uttam Kumaran: Changes that she also proposed.
53 00:06:03.400 ⇒ 00:06:04.270 Demilade Agboola: Okay.
54 00:06:04.270 ⇒ 00:06:05.220 Uttam Kumaran: Failing?
55 00:06:05.710 ⇒ 00:06:08.639 Uttam Kumaran: But I don’t know, I feel like…
56 00:06:08.750 ⇒ 00:06:14.370 Uttam Kumaran: I kind of need your brain, because I’m… I haven’t… I haven’t done a lot of snapshot work in this repo.
57 00:06:14.850 ⇒ 00:06:15.290 Demilade Agboola: And directed.
58 00:06:15.550 ⇒ 00:06:20.610 Uttam Kumaran: probably just, like, wasting time with a couple things, so, like, I don’t know, I feel like maybe we should just do, like.
59 00:06:21.580 ⇒ 00:06:25.729 Uttam Kumaran: Me and you should do a working session and try to bust through all this stuff.
60 00:06:27.030 ⇒ 00:06:35.060 Demilade Agboola: Alright, sounds good, sounds good. Yeah, I’ll look at it, just try and get some context on what’s needed, and then, yeah, just blast through them.
61 00:06:35.860 ⇒ 00:06:43.969 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s like, I want to also, like, archive all models, and like, I need… it’s just the problem is, like, we also need to test
62 00:06:44.600 ⇒ 00:06:45.610 Uttam Kumaran: And…
63 00:06:46.440 ⇒ 00:06:52.810 Uttam Kumaran: during the week, it’s so hard, because I can… I can put in, like, 3… like, 2-3 hours, and then I have to jump.
64 00:06:52.970 ⇒ 00:06:55.380 Uttam Kumaran: And if those models fail, then, like.
65 00:06:55.840 ⇒ 00:06:59.559 Demilade Agboola: we’re screwed, because I have to jump back. So, like, I feel like I have to just go…
66 00:07:00.110 ⇒ 00:07:04.009 Uttam Kumaran: I have to probably try to just do this on Sunday, maybe, or something.
67 00:07:04.390 ⇒ 00:07:07.040 Demilade Agboola: I mean, I’m actually gonna be working…
68 00:07:07.820 ⇒ 00:07:13.229 Demilade Agboola: I’m gonna try to do it later today, some of the changes, because I actually have a free afternoon.
69 00:07:13.510 ⇒ 00:07:14.480 Amber Lin: So…
70 00:07:14.550 ⇒ 00:07:16.100 Uttam Kumaran: I may try to, like…
71 00:07:16.500 ⇒ 00:07:17.339 Demilade Agboola: That’s be using it.
72 00:07:17.340 ⇒ 00:07:20.710 Uttam Kumaran: Make some of the… just the file move changes that she wanted.
73 00:07:21.110 ⇒ 00:07:23.639 Uttam Kumaran: Make sure it can get tested in staging.
74 00:07:23.860 ⇒ 00:07:25.439 Uttam Kumaran: And then push it.
75 00:07:25.600 ⇒ 00:07:33.280 Uttam Kumaran: The other question, then a lot, is this currently the staging runs are running in, like, dbt staging underscore, like, a number.
76 00:07:33.580 ⇒ 00:07:38.419 Uttam Kumaran: I want… I want the dbt staging to always be in a fixed schema.
77 00:07:39.140 ⇒ 00:07:42.179 Demilade Agboola: not the PR schema, a specific PR.
78 00:07:42.180 ⇒ 00:07:49.299 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t want it to be a unique schema per PR, because, like, we can’t test incremental and snapshots there, it’s gonna take, like, way too long.
79 00:07:49.650 ⇒ 00:07:51.820 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, yeah.
80 00:07:52.630 ⇒ 00:07:57.420 Uttam Kumaran: Though… I don’t know if you know, like, how to do that in cloud.
81 00:07:58.410 ⇒ 00:08:00.710 Demilade Agboola: I’m not sure, but I could always look into it.
82 00:08:01.070 ⇒ 00:08:01.850 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
83 00:08:04.490 ⇒ 00:08:05.100 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
84 00:08:05.650 ⇒ 00:08:06.420 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
85 00:08:06.560 ⇒ 00:08:12.490 Demilade Agboola: I just created a ticket for, like, just, like, for our work, so, like, you know…
86 00:08:12.490 ⇒ 00:08:14.180 Amber Lin: What is it called?
87 00:08:14.400 ⇒ 00:08:17.290 Demilade Agboola: Just, like, infrastructure work, just… just… Yeah.
88 00:08:21.740 ⇒ 00:08:25.160 Amber Lin: And… How many points would this be?
89 00:08:28.080 ⇒ 00:08:29.350 Uttam Kumaran: Day 5 points.
90 00:08:30.010 ⇒ 00:08:32.959 Amber Lin: Or, I don’t know, yeah, that’s what I think.
91 00:08:34.549 ⇒ 00:08:35.759 Uttam Kumaran: In terms of time.
92 00:08:36.380 ⇒ 00:08:44.169 Demilade Agboola: Yeah. I just don’t… I want to be able to work on it, but I also just want us to be, like, have an idea about, like, like, that’s part of what I’m working on.
93 00:08:45.320 ⇒ 00:08:48.470 Amber Lin: Is this on… is this on you or on Utam?
94 00:08:48.650 ⇒ 00:08:49.539 Demilade Agboola: It’s on me.
95 00:08:49.700 ⇒ 00:08:50.629 Amber Lin: Oh, okay.
96 00:08:51.200 ⇒ 00:08:56.960 Amber Lin: Can I… should I create a ticket for you as well? I know you were working on some of the…
97 00:08:57.410 ⇒ 00:08:59.629 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, maybe just create a similar ticket.
98 00:08:59.800 ⇒ 00:09:00.180 Amber Lin: Yeah.
99 00:09:00.180 ⇒ 00:09:02.620 Uttam Kumaran: Both of us can have it, that way it gets tracked.
100 00:09:16.310 ⇒ 00:09:17.030 Amber Lin: Odoo…
101 00:09:21.610 ⇒ 00:09:26.860 Amber Lin: Okay. Are any of these PRs reviewed and merged?
102 00:09:29.590 ⇒ 00:09:32.750 Uttam Kumaran: These are… these have not been reviewed and merged.
103 00:09:33.290 ⇒ 00:09:33.920 Amber Lin: Okay.
104 00:09:34.100 ⇒ 00:09:34.610 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
105 00:09:34.610 ⇒ 00:09:37.000 Amber Lin: Who do we need to review, though?
106 00:09:37.470 ⇒ 00:09:42.460 Uttam Kumaran: I need to ping, sorry?
107 00:09:42.680 ⇒ 00:09:43.860 Demilade Agboola: Good to have me in there.
108 00:09:45.300 ⇒ 00:09:46.129 Uttam Kumaran: I think…
109 00:09:46.320 ⇒ 00:09:51.259 Uttam Kumaran: I mean, you could take a look at the PR. I also need to get a review from Perry, probably.
110 00:09:51.680 ⇒ 00:09:52.950 Amber Lin: Hmm, okay.
111 00:09:55.300 ⇒ 00:09:58.040 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I need to do that, that’s not me.
112 00:09:59.150 ⇒ 00:10:00.300 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
113 00:10:00.570 ⇒ 00:10:02.200 Amber Lin: And…
114 00:10:03.240 ⇒ 00:10:11.629 Amber Lin: Alright, I want to write a quick update, because I feel like this week we’ve done a lot of…
115 00:10:11.910 ⇒ 00:10:21.709 Amber Lin: stuff with the infrastructure work and with their PRs, I don’t think I’ve documented it. As part of the update I want to send, how should we…
116 00:10:21.880 ⇒ 00:10:25.790 Amber Lin: phrase this week’s… Update.
117 00:10:26.500 ⇒ 00:10:30.270 Amber Lin: just… I just want a little bit of context on what we’ve been doing on…
118 00:10:30.840 ⇒ 00:10:37.619 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I would talk about, I would talk about the cursor, onboarding, I would talk about, like.
119 00:10:37.830 ⇒ 00:10:40.910 Uttam Kumaran: Metaplane is, like, completely up and running now.
120 00:10:41.400 ⇒ 00:10:43.989 Uttam Kumaran: Which is great for alerting.
121 00:10:45.760 ⇒ 00:10:48.459 Uttam Kumaran: I would say the setbacks this week is really, like.
122 00:10:48.740 ⇒ 00:10:55.160 Uttam Kumaran: The… our development environment is really tough to work in, so we got to make some more infrastructure changes.
123 00:10:56.320 ⇒ 00:10:58.199 Uttam Kumaran: Sooner rather than later.
124 00:10:59.720 ⇒ 00:11:06.230 Uttam Kumaran: I would say we have, like, probably, like, 30% of revenue marked, like, kind of ready and testing.
125 00:11:07.710 ⇒ 00:11:10.379 Uttam Kumaran: So, that’s kind of, like, where we’re at there.
126 00:11:14.370 ⇒ 00:11:19.130 Amber Lin: Okay, that’s good. And… Yes?
127 00:11:19.400 ⇒ 00:11:24.880 Amber Lin: Last 3 minutes, I just want to see, is there anything here that needs to get pushed out?
128 00:11:25.070 ⇒ 00:11:28.280 Amber Lin: Or is this still a reasonable workload?
129 00:11:29.830 ⇒ 00:11:36.980 Uttam Kumaran: I think this is fine. I just, like, it’s taking… my other PR is just taking time to test, because we have this stuff that came in.
130 00:11:37.680 ⇒ 00:11:45.470 Uttam Kumaran: So one of the things for… I think we talked about this in the retro, is for next sprint, we should just budget some time for
131 00:11:45.770 ⇒ 00:11:49.390 Uttam Kumaran: ad hoc on my schedule. I don’t think it has to be on demo latkes.
132 00:11:49.500 ⇒ 00:11:51.879 Uttam Kumaran: But I’m kind of like, I’m kind of like…
133 00:11:52.470 ⇒ 00:11:57.529 Uttam Kumaran: dealing with any, like, pressing issues. I’m also helping Emily, so, like.
134 00:11:57.720 ⇒ 00:12:02.549 Uttam Kumaran: Probably, like, 20 or 30% of my time is going… like, 30% of my time is just going ad hoc.
135 00:12:02.660 ⇒ 00:12:06.420 Uttam Kumaran: I want to make sure that it’s reflected in… That’s pretty low.
136 00:12:06.970 ⇒ 00:12:07.690 Amber Lin: I see.
137 00:12:08.170 ⇒ 00:12:14.220 Amber Lin: When we planned it, I think we… we assigned you about, let’s say, 8 points, I think?
138 00:12:14.410 ⇒ 00:12:15.010 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
139 00:12:15.010 ⇒ 00:12:21.240 Amber Lin: But now it has grown. Alright.
140 00:12:21.770 ⇒ 00:12:33.340 Amber Lin: I think that’s all. I will write the update, I’ll check with you guys, and I’ll send it to them. Haven’t asked Zach yet for the communication review, I’ll probably ask as well in the update.
141 00:12:33.700 ⇒ 00:12:34.940 Amber Lin: Okay, okay.
142 00:12:34.940 ⇒ 00:12:36.010 Demilade Agboola: Alright, sounds good.
143 00:12:36.640 ⇒ 00:12:37.090 Amber Lin: Alright.
144 00:12:37.540 ⇒ 00:12:38.620 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you, guys.
145 00:12:38.660 ⇒ 00:12:39.670 Amber Lin: Thank you.
146 00:12:39.670 ⇒ 00:12:40.270 Demilade Agboola: Bye.
