18 00:02:08.820 ⇒ 00:02:09.820 Demilade Agboola: Sounds good, then.
19 00:02:10.370 ⇒ 00:02:11.440 Uttam Kumaran: How’s everything?
20 00:02:13.610 ⇒ 00:02:15.239 Demilade Agboola: Oh, pretty good.
21 00:02:15.240 ⇒ 00:02:16.690 Ashwini Sharma: Good, yeah.
22 00:02:16.690 ⇒ 00:02:20.289 Demilade Agboola: There’s a storm in Malta, but other than that, it’s fine.
23 00:02:20.790 ⇒ 00:02:24.999 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, it’s also getting very, very cold here, so…
24 00:02:25.200 ⇒ 00:02:34.309 Uttam Kumaran: gonna try to… although I have some… I’m finally getting a little bit of, like, time to focus and get some work done, so, it’s been good this week.
25 00:02:36.820 ⇒ 00:02:37.730 Demilade Agboola: Oh, it’s good.
26 00:02:38.740 ⇒ 00:02:49.649 Uttam Kumaran: Cool, okay, let’s get started. Maybe, Demi, I’ll just start with, you know, the kind of clients you and Mustafa are covering, so… maybe we want to talk through Magic Spoon, and then we can talk about default?
27 00:02:51.780 ⇒ 00:02:53.460 Demilade Agboola: Okay,
28 00:02:54.320 ⇒ 00:03:03.439 Demilade Agboola: So, Magic Spoon, Magic Spoon is fine. I… I know that, like, they seem to trust us, and they’re looking forward to handing over…
29 00:03:04.630 ⇒ 00:03:11.600 Demilade Agboola: like, partner… Like, we’re thinking about their partnerships with their current data partners.
30 00:03:11.910 ⇒ 00:03:17.690 Demilade Agboola: I think this week will just be about showing them the…
31 00:03:18.270 ⇒ 00:03:25.540 Demilade Agboola: output from, like, our dbt audit, as well as some output from our QAing. Other than that, I think we’re fine.
32 00:03:30.830 ⇒ 00:03:42.070 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, great. Yeah, my only question from yesterday is, like, if you wanted to talk today, or if you wanted my help to help you, like, kind of organize the entire audit, like, deliverable.
33 00:03:42.360 ⇒ 00:03:50.500 Uttam Kumaran: I know we… I don’t know if we got a chance to do that, but I know there’s a bunch of moving parts, so one thing I can probably try to help with is, like.
34 00:03:50.740 ⇒ 00:03:54.789 Uttam Kumaran: Get that all into something that’s in a more organized fashion that we can…
35 00:03:55.120 ⇒ 00:04:02.079 Uttam Kumaran: sort of, like, be like, here’s the… here’s the deliverable, like, check off. And that’s also something that we can reuse, you know?
36 00:04:03.000 ⇒ 00:04:11.000 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sounds good. I’ll send something to the default… sorry, the Magic Spoon internal Slack, tagging it.
37 00:04:11.540 ⇒ 00:04:12.370 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.
38 00:04:18.680 ⇒ 00:04:21.570 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. And then maybe let’s talk about, default?
39 00:04:23.450 ⇒ 00:04:24.979 Demilade Agboola: So for default.
40 00:04:26.130 ⇒ 00:04:32.340 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, I’ll just give the… for default, again, they also seem to be pretty fine.
41 00:04:34.570 ⇒ 00:04:39.109 Demilade Agboola: I will say that… I think it might be helpful to…
42 00:04:39.620 ⇒ 00:04:43.449 Demilade Agboola: Link, polyatomic, and default on a call.
43 00:04:43.610 ⇒ 00:04:49.769 Demilade Agboola: Just so that they can hash things out faster, and that wouldn’t be a blocker. But other than that, everything seems fine.
44 00:04:50.710 ⇒ 00:04:51.340 Mustafa Raja: Yep.
45 00:04:52.150 ⇒ 00:04:53.900 Mustafa Raja: So this week,
46 00:04:54.490 ⇒ 00:05:10.999 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, for default for this week, we have planned the ingestion, of the data sources to Mother Duck using, Polyatomic, and then a dashboard, on the, on the Salesforce data, and then we’ll start setting up dbt-4 modeling.
47 00:05:11.100 ⇒ 00:05:16.120 Mustafa Raja: That’s… that’s the tasks for this week, and so far, we are on track.
48 00:05:17.450 ⇒ 00:05:18.080 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
49 00:05:21.570 ⇒ 00:05:37.889 Mustafa Raja: Yeah, apart from that, one thing that I would want to flag is I have, sent a loom in, in the default channel, Slack, and then what I would need is help on, deciding a few things, for the company dataset.
50 00:05:38.280 ⇒ 00:05:42.610 Mustafa Raja: It’s an ad hoc request from default.
51 00:05:45.730 ⇒ 00:05:49.189 Mustafa Raja: So if you can take a look at that, then that would be really nice.
52 00:05:49.960 ⇒ 00:05:50.660 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
53 00:06:00.350 ⇒ 00:06:02.209 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
54 00:06:02.370 ⇒ 00:06:07.380 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, maybe, Demi, I can have you take the first pass of that, and then let me know.
55 00:06:07.380 ⇒ 00:06:08.179 Demilade Agboola: Yes, I’m okay.
56 00:06:08.540 ⇒ 00:06:15.359 Uttam Kumaran: Cool. Let’s talk through CTA. So, Ashwini,
57 00:06:15.580 ⇒ 00:06:23.120 Uttam Kumaran: I know we had a pretty long conversation yesterday, so maybe you just want to let me know your plan, and then I can see what else I can cover today.
58 00:06:23.420 ⇒ 00:06:34.229 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, so today I’ll be mostly working on Magic Spoon QA stuff, because it’s been trending since a few days, right? And then, from tomorrow onwards, I’ll, you know, tackle the CTA thing.
59 00:06:34.610 ⇒ 00:06:35.510 Ashwini Sharma: Okay.
60 00:06:37.710 ⇒ 00:06:38.710 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
61 00:06:38.790 ⇒ 00:06:42.599 Ashwini Sharma: Great. So, yeah, in terms of CTA today, then, I’m gonna work on…
62 00:06:42.740 ⇒ 00:06:47.500 Uttam Kumaran: Kind of, like, creating tickets for things that were,
63 00:06:47.600 ⇒ 00:06:53.089 Uttam Kumaran: discussed yesterday. And then also seeing if I can update, sort of, the Gantt chart.
64 00:06:53.460 ⇒ 00:06:59.659 Uttam Kumaran: And then if I get any time, I’m gonna start a Notion doc around,
65 00:07:01.240 ⇒ 00:07:05.230 Uttam Kumaran: around, like, Snowflake’s AI capabilities.
66 00:07:05.560 ⇒ 00:07:08.469 Uttam Kumaran: That way me and Catherine can discuss that, too.
67 00:07:08.700 ⇒ 00:07:16.230 Uttam Kumaran: But just let me know, like, as you get started on that tomorrow, if you need, you know, any help with, with, with CTA stuff.
68 00:07:16.260 ⇒ 00:07:21.180 Ashwini Sharma: Sure. Have we done anything, like, creating of semantic views on Snowflake?
69 00:07:22.430 ⇒ 00:07:24.730 Uttam Kumaran: We haven’t done any of that yet, no.
70 00:07:24.730 ⇒ 00:07:25.520 Ashwini Sharma: Okay.
71 00:07:25.980 ⇒ 00:07:31.950 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, because, like, the Cortex thing on Snowflake relies heavily on semantic layer, right?
72 00:07:31.950 ⇒ 00:07:35.989 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, so we’ll have to… we’ll have to create… we’ll have to create that layer, yeah.
73 00:07:37.730 ⇒ 00:07:43.249 Ashwini Sharma: Okay, yeah, today, I’ll mostly be occupied with Magix phones,
74 00:07:44.040 ⇒ 00:07:53.560 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, I’m doing the extract again, because the QA dataset that they shared contains a lot of attributes, which earlier was not… not even asked, right?
75 00:07:53.760 ⇒ 00:08:00.589 Ashwini Sharma: So, I’m running the extract again, and once it is done, I’ll start working on the QA.
76 00:08:01.020 ⇒ 00:08:11.890 Ashwini Sharma: Yeah, I’ll look at the CTA thing tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I was going to ask, yesterday’s meeting, like, when Catherine sends out an invite, we don’t record that, right?
77 00:08:12.580 ⇒ 00:08:18.540 Uttam Kumaran: No, we don’t record that one. So, typically what happens is… I try to…
78 00:08:18.750 ⇒ 00:08:22.090 Uttam Kumaran: record on Granola on my end, but I was on mobile.
79 00:08:22.890 ⇒ 00:08:24.810 Uttam Kumaran: chance to.
80 00:08:26.020 ⇒ 00:08:29.780 Uttam Kumaran: What I would suggest is, like, I don’t know if… do you use granola at all?
81 00:08:29.990 ⇒ 00:08:31.800 Ashwini Sharma: No, I haven’t used that, huh?
82 00:08:31.800 ⇒ 00:08:39.070 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, maybe I can invite you. Typically, for any meeting that’s, like, off of our platform, I try to record it there.
83 00:08:39.950 ⇒ 00:08:43.330 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe I can invite you,
84 00:08:43.970 ⇒ 00:08:46.600 Uttam Kumaran: Just so you have it as backup as well.
85 00:08:46.600 ⇒ 00:08:49.370 Ashwini Sharma: Sure, yeah, yeah. Some of the meetings invite, like.
86 00:08:49.660 ⇒ 00:08:52.959 Ashwini Sharma: Earlier, I had seen one meeting invite sent out by Shivani.
87 00:08:53.490 ⇒ 00:08:57.330 Ashwini Sharma: And I thought the same, maybe this won’t be recorded, yeah.
88 00:08:57.490 ⇒ 00:09:00.420 Uttam Kumaran: Yes, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, good.
89 00:09:03.560 ⇒ 00:09:04.220 Ashwini Sharma: Okay.
90 00:09:09.790 ⇒ 00:09:11.200 Uttam Kumaran: Cool,
91 00:09:12.390 ⇒ 00:09:21.799 Uttam Kumaran: On Element, yeah, we had a… we had a good meeting yesterday with them. We’re delivering some stuff for their wholesale team, so things are sort of moving along fine there.
92 00:09:22.040 ⇒ 00:09:29.879 Uttam Kumaran: On… I haven’t yet heard back from,
93 00:09:30.430 ⇒ 00:09:39.059 Uttam Kumaran: Kidra, so… sort of waiting to hear back on if they’re going to engage with the sort of product analytics service line that we proposed.
94 00:09:42.130 ⇒ 00:09:51.420 Uttam Kumaran: And then… yeah, I guess I’m interested also, Demi, in, like, how… in your review of all of Greg’s stuff.
95 00:09:51.530 ⇒ 00:09:53.599 Uttam Kumaran: For product analytics, for default.
96 00:09:53.890 ⇒ 00:10:00.649 Uttam Kumaran: I left a little bit of a review on the Gantt chart, but have a look, because it’ll be, sort of be you guys.
97 00:10:01.000 ⇒ 00:10:04.919 Uttam Kumaran: On… basically pairing on delivering stuff for default, so…
98 00:10:06.310 ⇒ 00:10:09.460 Demilade Agboola: Okay, sounds good. It’s in the default channel, right?
99 00:10:10.680 ⇒ 00:10:14.240 Mustafa Raja: That is an EP, I believe. Oh, it’s an EP channel.
100 00:10:14.880 ⇒ 00:10:16.140 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
101 00:10:16.960 ⇒ 00:10:17.540 Demilade Agboola: Okay.
102 00:10:19.550 ⇒ 00:10:22.869 Demilade Agboola: I appreciate that, because I was, like, I hadn’t seen anything.
103 00:10:22.870 ⇒ 00:10:23.570 Mustafa Raja: Yes.
104 00:10:26.640 ⇒ 00:10:30.020 Uttam Kumaran: Cool.
105 00:10:30.560 ⇒ 00:10:31.579 Uttam Kumaran: What else?
106 00:10:39.000 ⇒ 00:10:40.669 Uttam Kumaran: Seems like mostly it, right?
107 00:10:48.020 ⇒ 00:10:52.259 Demilade Agboola: Sorry, just… I’m just saying that, like, Eden might have an issue.
108 00:10:52.460 ⇒ 00:10:57.490 Demilade Agboola: with some of their ad spend. Like, it literally just came in now. Just got tagged in it.
109 00:10:58.900 ⇒ 00:11:04.460 Demilade Agboola: Curious, Ashwini, are you capable to jump into that, or do you want me to jump into that?
110 00:11:05.380 ⇒ 00:11:07.789 Ashwini Sharma: Sorry, jump into what, Teminade?
111 00:11:08.210 ⇒ 00:11:10.689 Demilade Agboola: Aiden’s ad spend logic.
112 00:11:11.990 ⇒ 00:11:14.850 Ashwini Sharma: Oh, I, I will be, I think, Magic…
113 00:11:15.160 ⇒ 00:11:18.430 Ashwini Sharma: Spoon is going to take my entire day today,
114 00:11:19.280 ⇒ 00:11:21.789 Ashwini Sharma: This is a new thing, right?
115 00:11:22.040 ⇒ 00:11:25.640 Demilade Agboola: Yeah, they literally just sent the message right now, so, like, one minute ago.
116 00:11:29.510 ⇒ 00:11:31.290 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, Wish is out today.
117 00:11:31.700 ⇒ 00:11:36.169 Demilade Agboola: Okay. Alright, in that case, I’ll hop on the… I’ll hop on that and try and get it resolved.
118 00:11:37.010 ⇒ 00:11:37.700 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
119 00:11:42.060 ⇒ 00:11:46.840 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, but I guess, like… For… for that, like,
120 00:11:51.350 ⇒ 00:11:54.430 Uttam Kumaran: Oh yeah, I guess this really couldn’t have been,
121 00:11:56.830 ⇒ 00:12:00.859 Uttam Kumaran: Like a metaplane thing, right? Because we can’t really see it.
122 00:12:01.800 ⇒ 00:12:08.820 Demilade Agboola: It’s more of a… The logic that seems to work sort of isn’t working anymore, and so now…
123 00:12:09.000 ⇒ 00:12:13.879 Demilade Agboola: We need to just kind of figure out, like, what about the new data that’s coming in is changing.
124 00:12:15.260 ⇒ 00:12:15.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
125 00:12:16.220 ⇒ 00:12:18.289 Demilade Agboola: And Stuart is…
126 00:12:18.520 ⇒ 00:12:23.450 Demilade Agboola: being quite loud about it, so we just kind of need to resolve it any bits me, but…
127 00:12:24.110 ⇒ 00:12:25.310 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay, okay.
128 00:12:25.900 ⇒ 00:12:28.380 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, let me know where to cover on other clients.
129 00:12:28.750 ⇒ 00:12:30.239 Demilade Agboola: Okay, alright, sounds good.
130 00:12:31.030 ⇒ 00:12:31.720 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
131 00:12:32.630 ⇒ 00:12:34.599 Uttam Kumaran: Alright, thanks guys.
132 00:12:35.990 ⇒ 00:12:36.730 Mustafa Raja: Okay.
133 00:12:37.040 ⇒ 00:12:38.170 Uttam Kumaran: Thanks again. Bye.
