1 00:00:29.520 ⇒ 00:00:30.380 Lisa Whall: Do you hate me?
2 00:00:31.990 ⇒ 00:00:32.860 Brylle Girang: What?
3 00:00:33.270 ⇒ 00:00:35.299 Lisa Whall: Are you so sick of me?
4 00:00:35.300 ⇒ 00:00:38.240 Brylle Girang: No! No, no, no, no, no.
5 00:00:38.260 ⇒ 00:00:43.469 Lisa Whall: I hate being this person, I just want it to work. Help me.
6 00:00:43.470 ⇒ 00:00:54.050 Brylle Girang: No, no, I really appreciate this. I mean, this is a lot better than you, you know, closing out and then just telling yourself, I don’t want to do this, this is too complicated.
7 00:00:54.260 ⇒ 00:00:55.800 Brylle Girang: I appreciate this.
8 00:00:55.800 ⇒ 00:00:59.119 Lisa Whall: Close, man. I’ve gotten close, but I won’t do it. I won’t quit.
9 00:00:59.530 ⇒ 00:01:01.650 Lisa Whall: I won’t quit! Please, please.
10 00:01:01.650 ⇒ 00:01:06.640 Brylle Girang: So, yeah, yeah, let’s crush this. So, can you share your screen and show me?
11 00:01:07.160 ⇒ 00:01:12.470 Lisa Whall: I’ll move it to this other screen. I’m sure it’s as easy shit, but it’s just not…
12 00:01:13.180 ⇒ 00:01:15.060 Lisa Whall: Clicking for me, so, okay.
13 00:01:15.260 ⇒ 00:01:17.239 Brylle Girang: No, I mean, you know, I can…
14 00:01:17.390 ⇒ 00:01:21.830 Brylle Girang: I can try it, I can try the book that you’re writing, so…
15 00:01:24.390 ⇒ 00:01:25.550 Lisa Whall: Okay.
16 00:01:26.240 ⇒ 00:01:26.870 Brylle Girang: Okay.
17 00:01:26.990 ⇒ 00:01:30.290 Brylle Girang: So what do you… what do you mean by the sidebar?
18 00:01:30.820 ⇒ 00:01:39.629 Lisa Whall: So, before, I went in here… yeah, like, this isn’t… I can’t get back to that original screen.
19 00:01:39.940 ⇒ 00:01:40.550 Brylle Girang: Okay.
20 00:01:40.850 ⇒ 00:01:43.180 Lisa Whall: That’s my first problem, so let’s fix that.
21 00:01:43.350 ⇒ 00:01:46.559 Lisa Whall: And I try to close out of this thing, and I can’t, so… anyways.
22 00:01:46.560 ⇒ 00:01:48.409 Brylle Girang: Okay. So,
23 00:01:49.100 ⇒ 00:01:55.490 Brylle Girang: You just double-click on that side. I’m going to annotate, let me know if you can see my cursor.
24 00:01:55.750 ⇒ 00:01:57.389 Lisa Whall: Double click there.
25 00:01:57.780 ⇒ 00:01:58.970 Brylle Girang: Yeah, double click there.
26 00:01:58.970 ⇒ 00:02:01.090 Lisa Whall: And then… and then I got this when I did.
27 00:02:01.090 ⇒ 00:02:06.020 Brylle Girang: Okay, sorry, not double-click, but right-click? What do you call it? Secondary click?
28 00:02:06.250 ⇒ 00:02:10.049 Brylle Girang: There, and then click, Add Folder to Workspace.
29 00:02:11.939 ⇒ 00:02:12.619 Lisa Whall: Okay.
30 00:02:14.810 ⇒ 00:02:18.110 Brylle Girang: And let’s try… okay, so you click this one.
31 00:02:18.720 ⇒ 00:02:20.330 Brylle Girang: BrainForge platform.
32 00:02:21.220 ⇒ 00:02:22.600 Lisa Whall: Okay, got it.
33 00:02:23.840 ⇒ 00:02:25.020 Brylle Girang: Then click Add.
34 00:02:25.360 ⇒ 00:02:25.880 Lisa Whall: Okay.
35 00:02:27.660 ⇒ 00:02:31.640 Brylle Girang: There we go. So, I’m going to remove everything.
36 00:02:32.070 ⇒ 00:02:36.929 Brylle Girang: Okay. Okay. You drag this to the top.
37 00:02:37.920 ⇒ 00:02:39.889 Lisa Whall: Drug it to the shelf, okay? Yep.
38 00:02:40.780 ⇒ 00:02:43.590 Lisa Whall: I love the annotations, it’s awesome, by the way.
39 00:02:43.590 ⇒ 00:02:44.170 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
40 00:02:45.910 ⇒ 00:02:46.470 Lisa Whall: Huh.
41 00:02:47.140 ⇒ 00:02:49.769 Brylle Girang: Just above resources, just above resources.
42 00:02:50.140 ⇒ 00:02:50.780 Lisa Whall: Oh.
43 00:02:51.630 ⇒ 00:02:52.400 Brylle Girang: air.
44 00:02:53.260 ⇒ 00:02:54.930 Brylle Girang: Okay, just click move.
45 00:02:56.460 ⇒ 00:02:58.240 Brylle Girang: That is it.
46 00:03:00.210 ⇒ 00:03:03.989 Brylle Girang: Okay, so, so… Is this what you were looking for? Like…
47 00:03:04.320 ⇒ 00:03:08.119 Lisa Whall: Well, but where’s, like, the… the search screen, and why does this.
48 00:03:09.250 ⇒ 00:03:13.739 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha. So you click this one if you’re looking for, like, the chat?
49 00:03:14.530 ⇒ 00:03:15.599 Lisa Whall: Yeah. You clicked this.
50 00:03:15.600 ⇒ 00:03:16.260 Brylle Girang: one.
51 00:03:16.860 ⇒ 00:03:17.540 Lisa Whall: Okay.
52 00:03:18.190 ⇒ 00:03:19.690 Brylle Girang: There we go. Okay.
53 00:03:19.690 ⇒ 00:03:25.430 Lisa Whall: So why isn’t… I’m just sorry to be nitpicky, but why isn’t it in the middle of the screen like it was before?
54 00:03:25.730 ⇒ 00:03:30.620 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so, how you can do that is you can either click this one.
55 00:03:34.020 ⇒ 00:03:34.650 Lisa Whall: Click.
56 00:03:35.200 ⇒ 00:03:36.150 Lisa Whall: Okay.
57 00:03:36.490 ⇒ 00:03:37.070 Brylle Girang: Yep.
58 00:03:37.450 ⇒ 00:03:45.010 Brylle Girang: And then… Click… Hmm, that’s weird, just a moment.
59 00:03:47.150 ⇒ 00:03:53.780 Brylle Girang: Never mind. Let’s do a shortcut instead. So, you click Command, Option, and E.
60 00:03:54.300 ⇒ 00:03:55.950 Brylle Girang: At the same time, in your keyboard.
61 00:03:56.680 ⇒ 00:03:57.420 Lisa Whall: Okay.
62 00:03:57.950 ⇒ 00:03:59.260 Brylle Girang: Command-Option-E.
63 00:04:06.060 ⇒ 00:04:07.209 Brylle Girang: There we go.
64 00:04:07.470 ⇒ 00:04:09.649 Lisa Whall: Okay, okay, I gotta write these down.
65 00:04:09.830 ⇒ 00:04:12.230 Lisa Whall: So… Command.
66 00:04:15.030 ⇒ 00:04:16.089 Lisa Whall: Option.
67 00:04:17.560 ⇒ 00:04:18.790 Lisa Whall: Okay.
68 00:04:18.790 ⇒ 00:04:19.619 Brylle Girang: Thank you, exactly.
69 00:04:19.620 ⇒ 00:04:22.489 Lisa Whall: So now, where’s my side? Where’s my side?
70 00:04:22.780 ⇒ 00:04:24.559 Brylle Girang: Yeah, you can click Command-B.
71 00:04:25.600 ⇒ 00:04:26.380 Lisa Whall: Okay.
72 00:04:35.180 ⇒ 00:04:36.080 Brylle Girang: Try it out.
73 00:04:36.430 ⇒ 00:04:36.970 Lisa Whall: Yep.
74 00:04:38.730 ⇒ 00:04:39.700 Brylle Girang: There we go.
75 00:04:40.030 ⇒ 00:04:44.099 Lisa Whall: Okay. That’s perfect. I would have never figured that out.
76 00:04:44.250 ⇒ 00:04:44.900 Lisa Whall: So…
77 00:04:44.900 ⇒ 00:04:49.629 Brylle Girang: Yeah, no worries, no worries. I think a call is really, really helpful when it comes to.
78 00:04:49.630 ⇒ 00:04:52.980 Lisa Whall: All about it, yep. Okay.
79 00:04:52.980 ⇒ 00:05:02.440 Brylle Girang: Command-Option-E, make sure that your agent, like the chat bar, is going to be centered, and Command-B, make sure that your sidebar opens.
80 00:05:02.440 ⇒ 00:05:08.060 Lisa Whall: Okay. Okay, so let’s… let’s just go through, and then we’ll move on to the next thing. Okay. Sure.
81 00:05:08.640 ⇒ 00:05:09.600 Lisa Whall: What was…
82 00:05:13.790 ⇒ 00:05:25.839 Lisa Whall: Customers… I’m just gonna put something in here. I was doing this earlier. It works great, by the way. I really was able to find a lot of stuff, so I’m super happy with the results. I’ll include BigQuery.
83 00:05:27.480 ⇒ 00:05:29.619 Lisa Whall: Okay, up and down…
84 00:05:34.560 ⇒ 00:05:37.739 Lisa Whall: Okay, we’ll, like, let it do its thing.
85 00:05:38.430 ⇒ 00:05:44.230 Lisa Whall: Because this is where I… okay, so… Going through… It’s grabbing the stuff.
86 00:05:52.470 ⇒ 00:05:56.390 Lisa Whall: Okay, great. So that’s… I got that information.
87 00:05:56.890 ⇒ 00:05:58.250 Lisa Whall: Interesting.
88 00:05:58.660 ⇒ 00:06:03.580 Lisa Whall: Now I want to do a new search. This is where I think I screwed things up before. So now I want.
89 00:06:03.580 ⇒ 00:06:03.900 Brylle Girang: Okay.
90 00:06:04.100 ⇒ 00:06:06.509 Lisa Whall: Completely unrelated to this.
91 00:06:06.900 ⇒ 00:06:07.560 Brylle Girang: Okay.
92 00:06:07.690 ⇒ 00:06:10.649 Brylle Girang: You can click this one, so this is the plus button.
93 00:06:11.470 ⇒ 00:06:13.780 Lisa Whall: Ha ha ha ha!
94 00:06:13.780 ⇒ 00:06:20.340 Brylle Girang: Yes, and then at the same time, you can just… the shortcut, the keyboard shortcut for that is Command-N.
95 00:06:21.370 ⇒ 00:06:22.200 Lisa Whall: M…
96 00:06:22.650 ⇒ 00:06:23.649 Brylle Girang: N, as in…
97 00:06:24.130 ⇒ 00:06:25.209 Lisa Whall: What’s that?
98 00:06:25.810 ⇒ 00:06:26.460 Brylle Girang: Awesome.
99 00:06:27.530 ⇒ 00:06:31.110 Brylle Girang: I’m trying to think of a country that starts with N. Norway.
100 00:06:31.520 ⇒ 00:06:33.239 Lisa Whall: No end! Yeah.
101 00:06:33.240 ⇒ 00:06:33.940 Brylle Girang: M.
102 00:06:35.790 ⇒ 00:06:41.530 Lisa Whall: Oh, perfect. Okay, so I’m just gonna make notes. This gets centered… This one?
103 00:06:41.530 ⇒ 00:06:42.950 Brylle Girang: Should’ve said November.
104 00:06:43.370 ⇒ 00:06:52.700 Lisa Whall: I hate that, I always freeze on that, too. And then this one gets me a new… new… Agent.
105 00:06:53.830 ⇒ 00:06:54.660 Lisa Whall: Okay.
106 00:06:55.700 ⇒ 00:06:58.240 Lisa Whall: Doo-doo, okay. Okay.
107 00:06:59.130 ⇒ 00:07:02.800 Lisa Whall: So, I’m just trying to think if I have any other questions here.
108 00:07:03.170 ⇒ 00:07:07.959 Lisa Whall: So… so now I’m done with this one. I’ll just close this one, right?
109 00:07:08.390 ⇒ 00:07:08.910 Brylle Girang: Yep.
110 00:07:10.010 ⇒ 00:07:15.539 Lisa Whall: Okay, cool, okay. So, I really never have to… Go out of this.
111 00:07:16.120 ⇒ 00:07:16.980 Lisa Whall: Right?
112 00:07:17.300 ⇒ 00:07:18.150 Brylle Girang: Exactly, yeah.
113 00:07:18.150 ⇒ 00:07:20.210 Lisa Whall: That’s… right? Yeah.
114 00:07:20.210 ⇒ 00:07:21.150 Brylle Girang: Exactly.
115 00:07:21.150 ⇒ 00:07:31.609 Lisa Whall: Cool. Okay, I feel better, I feel so much better. I’m back, baby. I’m back. Okay, so we’ve got that done.
116 00:07:31.880 ⇒ 00:07:32.270 Brylle Girang: Okay.
117 00:07:32.270 ⇒ 00:07:32.810 Lisa Whall: Great.
118 00:07:32.920 ⇒ 00:07:40.570 Lisa Whall: Now… Let’s go and do that, do… this guy.
119 00:07:41.170 ⇒ 00:07:42.070 Lisa Whall: Okay.
120 00:07:43.140 ⇒ 00:07:49.809 Lisa Whall: So… I went to… Dashboard, right?
121 00:07:51.000 ⇒ 00:07:52.629 Lisa Whall: And then I went to Plugins.
122 00:07:53.160 ⇒ 00:07:56.999 Brylle Girang: Okay, can you scroll down, like, to the bottom of that page?
123 00:07:57.240 ⇒ 00:07:58.300 Lisa Whall: Yes.
124 00:08:00.880 ⇒ 00:08:04.150 Brylle Girang: Hmm, that’s weird. Yeah, there’s… there are no team skills.
125 00:08:05.340 ⇒ 00:08:07.870 Brylle Girang: Okay, can you click Browse Marketplace?
126 00:08:08.530 ⇒ 00:08:09.410 Lisa Whall: Yes, I can.
127 00:08:11.520 ⇒ 00:08:15.070 Brylle Girang: Let’s see…
128 00:08:20.900 ⇒ 00:08:24.079 Brylle Girang: Just a moment, let me try and replicate this on my ad.
129 00:08:24.080 ⇒ 00:08:25.129 Lisa Whall: Yeah, take your time.
130 00:08:26.230 ⇒ 00:08:29.530 Lisa Whall: I’m just happy you were able to meet with me today, because I was really getting
131 00:08:29.630 ⇒ 00:08:31.179 Lisa Whall: Pissed off at myself.
132 00:08:31.180 ⇒ 00:08:32.690 Brylle Girang: Of course! I saw you…
133 00:08:33.780 ⇒ 00:08:40.630 Brylle Girang: I saw your invite… I saw your invite for tomorrow morning, and I was like, no, this can’t wait until tomorrow.
134 00:08:41.169 ⇒ 00:08:46.680 Brylle Girang: I mean, Lizzo… Lizzo might not be able to sleep when she’s thinking about it.
135 00:08:46.680 ⇒ 00:08:50.529 Lisa Whall: Oh, I am. You already know my personality, I don’t give up. I’m like, -
136 00:08:50.530 ⇒ 00:08:52.450 Brylle Girang: Exactly. Exactly.
137 00:08:52.450 ⇒ 00:08:56.989 Lisa Whall: Or I might, like, take the whole system down, which I’ve done before, so you don’t want that either.
138 00:08:58.890 ⇒ 00:09:05.059 Brylle Girang: I’m trying to… okay, this is weird, like… Let me see…
139 00:09:05.060 ⇒ 00:09:06.850 Lisa Whall: Am I not logged in, maybe?
140 00:09:07.930 ⇒ 00:09:09.559 Brylle Girang: No, I think you’re locked in.
141 00:09:09.560 ⇒ 00:09:10.399 Lisa Whall: Okay, I just…
142 00:09:10.400 ⇒ 00:09:12.370 Brylle Girang: Actually, let me double check that.
143 00:09:12.740 ⇒ 00:09:13.270 Lisa Whall: Okay.
144 00:09:16.320 ⇒ 00:09:18.249 Brylle Girang: Yeah, you are here, you’re logged in.
145 00:09:18.390 ⇒ 00:09:20.209 Lisa Whall: Okay, I just… I’m just trying.
146 00:09:20.210 ⇒ 00:09:21.590 Brylle Girang: to think of…
147 00:09:22.580 ⇒ 00:09:23.380 Lisa Whall: Oh, yeah, I am.
148 00:09:23.380 ⇒ 00:09:23.820 Brylle Girang: Can…
149 00:09:23.890 ⇒ 00:09:25.330 Lisa Whall: You can see I’m elected.
150 00:09:25.330 ⇒ 00:09:27.780 Brylle Girang: Okay, can you go… can you go to plugins again?
151 00:09:28.200 ⇒ 00:09:29.109 Lisa Whall: Yes, I can.
152 00:09:33.370 ⇒ 00:09:35.690 Brylle Girang: We have compound engineering.
153 00:09:36.760 ⇒ 00:09:38.029 Brylle Girang: Just a moment.
154 00:09:48.890 ⇒ 00:09:49.740 Brylle Girang: Oh!
155 00:09:50.370 ⇒ 00:09:53.189 Brylle Girang: Never mind. I actually think that you’re set.
156 00:09:53.480 ⇒ 00:09:57.700 Brylle Girang: These are the exact… these are the exact same plugins that we need.
157 00:09:57.810 ⇒ 00:09:59.109 Brylle Girang: And you already have it.
158 00:09:59.690 ⇒ 00:10:03.089 Lisa Whall: Oh. Oh, yeah, I… okay, that makes sense.
159 00:10:03.810 ⇒ 00:10:14.259 Brylle Girang: Yeah, the reason why I’m looking for something that’s not going to appear on your end, because you are not an admin, and I have the admin view, so that’s why I was confused.
160 00:10:14.260 ⇒ 00:10:14.760 Lisa Whall: Yeah.
161 00:10:14.760 ⇒ 00:10:16.829 Brylle Girang: This should be good. This should be good.
162 00:10:16.830 ⇒ 00:10:17.210 Lisa Whall: Makes sense.
163 00:10:17.210 ⇒ 00:10:17.730 Brylle Girang: S is all set.
164 00:10:18.730 ⇒ 00:10:21.219 Lisa Whall: Okay. Do I need to add Slack?
165 00:10:22.080 ⇒ 00:10:24.050 Brylle Girang: No, it’s already there, you can see Slack.
166 00:10:24.050 ⇒ 00:10:28.480 Lisa Whall: Yeah, exactly. I saw it down here, too. Okay, I’m not gonna… What about linear?
167 00:10:29.240 ⇒ 00:10:31.330 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so I think,
168 00:10:32.030 ⇒ 00:10:43.600 Brylle Girang: I’m going to schedule another time with you. I want to go through, like, the MCPs that we have. So, these MCPs, what it does is it allows you to talk with our tools.
169 00:10:43.880 ⇒ 00:10:44.460 Lisa Whall: Yep, right.
170 00:10:44.460 ⇒ 00:10:49.620 Brylle Girang: So, the first step here in Cursor is you’re allowed to access, like, the platform.
171 00:10:49.740 ⇒ 00:11:07.229 Brylle Girang: But let’s say there are information that’s not in the platform. Slack messages, maybe Notion pages. I will teach you how to tap into those. So let’s say you have lots of contacts in Slack, and you want… you… you want to ask Cursor, hey cursor.
172 00:11:07.540 ⇒ 00:11:14.799 Brylle Girang: what Slack messages, or where are the channels that Google GCP is being mentioned? Where are the channels that…
