1 00:03:37.610 ⇒ 00:03:40.240 Uttam Kumaran: Try to get Greg thinking about it too much.
2 00:03:41.520 ⇒ 00:03:45.570 Uttam Kumaran: he should just go into Cursor and say, write me a scope to do this. What?
3 00:03:45.770 ⇒ 00:03:54.320 Uttam Kumaran: maybe… I don’t know, I haven’t… it’s been a long time since my first time writing a scope. I’m not sure how I felt the first time. I was very nervous.
4 00:03:54.910 ⇒ 00:03:58.779 Uttam Kumaran: the first, like, SOW I wrote, I was like, I have no idea what I’m doing.
5 00:03:58.780 ⇒ 00:04:02.099 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I have no idea, you’re just kind of throwing words on a page, yeah.
6 00:04:02.100 ⇒ 00:04:04.210 Uttam Kumaran: But we do have a lot of examples, so…
7 00:04:04.340 ⇒ 00:04:06.059 Clarence Stone: I still feel that way, Utam.
8 00:04:06.750 ⇒ 00:04:10.610 Uttam Kumaran: Really? Yeah. I… I feel… I,
9 00:04:11.270 ⇒ 00:04:16.499 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I don’t know what part I get nervous about. Yeah, I still get a little nervous about it.
10 00:04:16.980 ⇒ 00:04:18.010 Clarence Stone: But, but, I mean, here’s…
11 00:04:18.019 ⇒ 00:04:19.979 Robert Tseng: Clarence tuning in with a little FSD.
12 00:04:19.980 ⇒ 00:04:22.060 Clarence Stone: on the Tesla? Pretty cool.
13 00:04:22.680 ⇒ 00:04:26.500 Clarence Stone: Yeah, I have to get work done sometime.
14 00:04:28.260 ⇒ 00:04:43.339 Clarence Stone: It’s a little, a little choppy. Like, what I, what I want to tell the team is, like, if you just start with AI, like, you’re gonna have a conversation with a client anyway, and it’s always gonna get tweaked, whatever, you know, they need, so it’ll get…
15 00:04:43.580 ⇒ 00:04:44.130 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
16 00:04:44.130 ⇒ 00:04:47.429 Clarence Stone: dialed in. Just have other people take a look.
17 00:04:48.610 ⇒ 00:04:52.440 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, it’s the co-authoring, right, Robert? Like, that’s what the… that’s what we talk a lot about, is like…
18 00:04:52.440 ⇒ 00:04:57.330 Robert Tseng: That’s what we realized. It doesn’t really matter how much we put into it. I mean… Yeah, I mean, I think we should.
19 00:04:57.330 ⇒ 00:04:58.970 Uttam Kumaran: Nov about this yesterday, too.
20 00:04:58.970 ⇒ 00:04:59.520 Robert Tseng: Yeah.
21 00:04:59.660 ⇒ 00:05:08.819 Uttam Kumaran: Because I was, like, on from… we’re all engineers, so we’re always gonna be nervous, like, are we getting these right? But for the most part, it’s just, like, they’re… they’re trying to get work from us, and, like, we shouldn’t worry too much about it.
22 00:05:08.920 ⇒ 00:05:13.009 Uttam Kumaran: Most of it is just, like, encapsulate as much as we can. Yeah.
23 00:05:13.580 ⇒ 00:05:19.710 Uttam Kumaran: But yeah, I think as much as… I think that’s a good recommendation for both of these. I’m gonna tell Greg…
24 00:05:19.810 ⇒ 00:05:22.930 Uttam Kumaran: I need… you go call Caitlin, and…
25 00:05:23.130 ⇒ 00:05:32.539 Uttam Kumaran: present this, but… but get her feedback, like, get her to write it with you, basically. So maybe I’m gonna… I read a tweet, I’ll screenshot the tweet I read, and I’ll say, like.
26 00:05:32.810 ⇒ 00:05:35.969 Uttam Kumaran: And also, it’s gonna help him build a relationship with those two folks.
27 00:05:36.150 ⇒ 00:05:37.720 Uttam Kumaran: So, yeah, okay.
28 00:05:38.960 ⇒ 00:05:39.590 Robert Tseng: Nice.
29 00:05:42.720 ⇒ 00:05:54.240 Robert Tseng: All right, cool. I actually, like, paused the meeting, and I, like, didn’t unpause it until too late, because I… so I’ll make sure we record it next time, but, all right, that’s… I think that’s it for my side.
30 00:05:54.450 ⇒ 00:05:55.810 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Alright.
31 00:05:55.810 ⇒ 00:05:56.370 Robert Tseng: Thanks, guys.
32 00:05:56.370 ⇒ 00:05:57.199 Uttam Kumaran: Thank you, folks.
