1 00:18:46.300 ⇒ 00:18:46.970 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, dude.
2 00:18:46.970 ⇒ 00:18:47.500 Brylle Girang: Nope.
3 00:18:48.040 ⇒ 00:18:48.850 Brylle Girang: Hi.
4 00:18:49.380 ⇒ 00:18:50.670 Uttam Kumaran: Hey, how’s everything?
5 00:18:51.200 ⇒ 00:18:59.040 Brylle Girang: Good, good! I am super, super excited, especially since I’m building out these modules and then the certification roadmaps.
6 00:18:59.770 ⇒ 00:19:00.850 Brylle Girang: Yeah. Awesome.
7 00:19:00.850 ⇒ 00:19:12.060 Uttam Kumaran: Sorry, I know this… you wanted 30 minutes. I’m… some of the SLs have to leave, so I think we’re gonna… I wanna just meet with them today, but I have the rest of the day, I’m totally free.
8 00:19:12.160 ⇒ 00:19:21.569 Uttam Kumaran: So maybe just, like, brief me with kind of where you’re at, and then… do you want to come with me to this next meeting? It’s actually in, like, I don’t know, 5-10 minutes, and then…
9 00:19:21.760 ⇒ 00:19:25.730 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know how long it’s gonna be, and then we can just hop back into this stuff.
10 00:19:26.820 ⇒ 00:19:32.899 Brylle Girang: Okay, let me check… Because I have an appointment in…
11 00:19:33.520 ⇒ 00:19:38.700 Brylle Girang: 40 minutes, but I could definitely hop on the next meeting. In the meantime.
12 00:19:40.510 ⇒ 00:19:44.499 Brylle Girang: So, I am working on the modules. Let me share my screen.
13 00:19:44.820 ⇒ 00:19:45.380 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
14 00:19:46.750 ⇒ 00:19:54.400 Brylle Girang: Initially, we had 5 modules, but I am expanding it to, like, 8, because the module for the cursor one is to
15 00:19:54.730 ⇒ 00:19:56.529 Brylle Girang: too heavy.
16 00:19:57.000 ⇒ 00:20:00.619 Brylle Girang: But… So this is divided into…
17 00:20:01.010 ⇒ 00:20:10.950 Brylle Girang: like, these 8 modules. So the first one is about the standards, the second one is about setting up Cursor and GitHub, so it’s meant for actual new hires.
18 00:20:10.950 ⇒ 00:20:24.240 Brylle Girang: The next one is about, you know, GitHub for Brainforge, about the Forge, our knowledge base, about cloud agents, and then some applied tasks, which I’m still finalizing, but this is more about
19 00:20:24.240 ⇒ 00:20:35.879 Brylle Girang: actually doing something about the previous modules. And then lastly, like, a certification module. I want us to, like, give an official BrainForge certificate
20 00:20:36.000 ⇒ 00:20:41.940 Brylle Girang: Telling them that, hey, you’re done with the foundations, you learned about Brainforge, etc.
21 00:20:42.250 ⇒ 00:20:53.779 Brylle Girang: Okay. So, that’s, like, the foundation curriculum right now, and at the same time, I’m working on the certifications. You saw this. One problem that I had is that
22 00:20:54.000 ⇒ 00:21:00.590 Brylle Girang: especially for Snowflake and the other vendors, they have large, large certification roadmaps.
23 00:21:00.800 ⇒ 00:21:06.069 Brylle Girang: And I want to make sure that we don’t ask our people to, like, hey, go to this site, figure out what the.
24 00:21:06.070 ⇒ 00:21:07.059 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25 00:21:07.640 ⇒ 00:21:26.529 Brylle Girang: So what I’m trying to do here is to make sure that we lay down the things that they need to look at, depending on their service lines, or depending on their role, so that, you know, we take out the bulk of the thinking, and then just, you know, hand it over to them in a silver platter.
26 00:21:26.580 ⇒ 00:21:27.630 Uttam Kumaran: And then… Yes.
27 00:21:27.630 ⇒ 00:21:34.010 Brylle Girang: remove any… any reasons for them not to do it, because it’s basically just there. They just need to follow it.
28 00:21:34.640 ⇒ 00:21:37.080 Uttam Kumaran: And is this all in that PR?
29 00:21:37.870 ⇒ 00:21:43.260 Brylle Girang: Yes, yes, especially the certifications, these are all in the PR, yes.
30 00:21:43.840 ⇒ 00:21:44.759 Brylle Girang: Which, which way?
31 00:21:44.760 ⇒ 00:21:47.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, is it a PR that closed, or you’re still working on it?
32 00:21:48.350 ⇒ 00:21:52.880 Brylle Girang: The certifications are… have already been closed and merged. This was the CPR…
33 00:21:52.880 ⇒ 00:21:56.850 Uttam Kumaran: The, the… the… I mean, the whole mod… all the modules.
34 00:21:57.250 ⇒ 00:22:07.899 Brylle Girang: Oh, in the current PR, it’s still 5 modules, so I’m going to push this most recent one, which divides it into, like, the 8 modules.
35 00:22:08.760 ⇒ 00:22:09.150 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
36 00:22:09.570 ⇒ 00:22:12.879 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I think that’s where I can probably give you the most feedback.
37 00:22:13.210 ⇒ 00:22:21.170 Uttam Kumaran: Because I can think about how I’ve taught everybody, and sort of think about, like, the structuring,
38 00:22:22.450 ⇒ 00:22:27.910 Uttam Kumaran: And then sort of think about, like, okay, at the end of this module, what are people supposed to be capable of?
39 00:22:28.270 ⇒ 00:22:28.610 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
40 00:22:28.730 ⇒ 00:22:29.300 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.
41 00:22:29.300 ⇒ 00:22:29.640 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
42 00:22:29.640 ⇒ 00:22:31.070 Uttam Kumaran: So I can give you feedback on that.
43 00:22:31.580 ⇒ 00:22:32.779 Brylle Girang: Yeah, definitely.
44 00:22:32.860 ⇒ 00:22:39.830 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so this week is just focused on building out these modules, building the certification roadmaps.
45 00:22:39.900 ⇒ 00:22:54.769 Brylle Girang: And then my main blocker right now is the Forge, because I really want this to live in the forge immediately. I don’t see this being useful if it’s in the Markdown file, because then people will be… it will not be interactive. I want this to be really interactive.
46 00:22:55.190 ⇒ 00:23:00.870 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so I can switch to that. I mean, I’m basically… this is talking to you, and then talking to the SLs.
47 00:23:01.330 ⇒ 00:23:06.069 Uttam Kumaran: is my last sort of meeting, so I can just switch to working on that, and then I’m gonna have…
48 00:23:06.770 ⇒ 00:23:09.259 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna have lunch and do that, so…
49 00:23:09.550 ⇒ 00:23:13.930 Brylle Girang: Okay, great. Oh, how, how, until what time will you be working today?
50 00:23:15.040 ⇒ 00:23:16.890 Uttam Kumaran: Probably…
51 00:23:16.890 ⇒ 00:23:17.430 Brylle Girang: Oh, crap.
52 00:23:17.430 ⇒ 00:23:23.820 Uttam Kumaran: next 3-4 hours, because I’m in… I’m in… I’m in West Coast now, so I got 2 more hours.
53 00:23:23.820 ⇒ 00:23:24.170 Brylle Girang: Okay.
54 00:23:24.980 ⇒ 00:23:27.289 Brylle Girang: So, you… when are you going home?
55 00:23:27.840 ⇒ 00:23:28.849 Uttam Kumaran: I’m at home.
56 00:23:29.400 ⇒ 00:23:32.139 Brylle Girang: Oh, okay, gotcha, gotcha, that was good cheese.
57 00:23:32.280 ⇒ 00:23:40.589 Uttam Kumaran: Alright, so I’ll be go… yeah, so I’ll be going back to Austin on Sunday. I’ll be here working next 3 days. So yeah, I’ll be on for the next 3…
58 00:23:41.560 ⇒ 00:23:44.069 Uttam Kumaran: 2-3 hours or so, probably, so…
59 00:23:44.790 ⇒ 00:23:49.699 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha, alright. I’m going to hop on the next meeting, and then I’ll let you know, hopefully.
60 00:23:49.700 ⇒ 00:23:56.409 Uttam Kumaran: Throw this all into a PR, so that I can read it, even if you’re, like, out, so that I can still leave comments. Okay.
61 00:23:56.410 ⇒ 00:23:58.619 Brylle Girang: Yeah, okay, I’ll leave you a Slack message.
62 00:23:58.860 ⇒ 00:24:01.610 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay, okay, okay, perfect. Yeah, let’s hop on this next one.
63 00:24:01.910 ⇒ 00:24:02.620 Brylle Girang: Either.
64 00:24:02.780 ⇒ 00:24:03.520 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.
