Hey everyone.

00:00:01.470 --> 00:00:02.970
This week, Michelle is on vacation.

00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:04.800
So we're doing something
a little bit different.

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:09.180
We're republishing an episode
of the hammer stone.dev podcast,

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:12.210
which is the podcast about the
business hammer stone that I talk

00:00:12.210 --> 00:00:14.250
about quite a lot on this podcast.

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:17.460
It's a podcast with me
and my co-founder Erin.

00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:19.080
It's a little more casual.

00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:22.140
We're usually just, um,
hanging out and chatting.

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:23.190
Hope you enjoy it.

00:00:24.634 --> 00:00:25.324
Hello, Colleen.

00:00:25.444 --> 00:00:26.284
Hello, Erin.

00:00:26.584 --> 00:00:31.144
We have very much to discuss cuz I
think it's been like three weeks.

00:00:31.144 --> 00:00:33.004
Oh it, yeah, I think so.

00:00:33.724 --> 00:00:38.284
Because you were on vacation for a week,
then I was on vacation the very next week.

00:00:38.584 --> 00:00:40.924
So maybe I think it has
been three weeks, total.

00:00:41.074 --> 00:00:42.424
Yeah, quite a while.

00:00:42.784 --> 00:00:44.224
So a lot has happened.

00:00:44.434 --> 00:00:46.894
Uh, we've got a whole
list here at the top.

00:00:46.894 --> 00:00:48.934
I wanna start with some tub stuff.

00:00:49.024 --> 00:00:53.914
Um, I know that you were on vacation,
but we launched our first big

00:00:54.094 --> 00:00:56.334
marketing experiment that I was.

00:00:56.789 --> 00:01:01.079
Kind of in charge of which was
the open source, uh, send an open

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:02.699
source developer on vacation.

00:01:03.209 --> 00:01:04.049
I saw that.

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.989
Yeah, it went great.

00:01:07.229 --> 00:01:07.499
Oh, that's awesome.

00:01:07.679 --> 00:01:08.489
It was amazing.

00:01:08.609 --> 00:01:09.479
Yeah, I was.

00:01:09.479 --> 00:01:13.529
So I was so just relieved
that it went so well.

00:01:13.589 --> 00:01:18.659
Um, cuz I spent a ton of time working
on like the social share images.

00:01:18.659 --> 00:01:18.689
Okay.

00:01:18.899 --> 00:01:23.159
So that on Twitter, everyone
would get their own card

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:24.629
based on who they voted for.

00:01:25.219 --> 00:01:27.829
Can you explain that to me
because I was on vacation and I

00:01:27.829 --> 00:01:29.359
didn't really follow all of that.

00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:29.959
What happened?

00:01:30.029 --> 00:01:30.319
Yeah.

00:01:30.324 --> 00:01:30.379
Yeah.

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:30.709
Yeah.

00:01:30.949 --> 00:01:35.779
So the, the whole, the whole deal
is like you come to our site and you

00:01:36.169 --> 00:01:40.939
either nominate or vote for an open
source developer to go on vacation.

00:01:40.939 --> 00:01:41.269
Right.

00:01:41.659 --> 00:01:45.949
So you'd come to the site and say
like, I'm gonna vote for, um, Taylor

00:01:45.949 --> 00:01:48.739
Atwell, Adam wain, and somebody else.

00:01:49.069 --> 00:01:52.424
And then when you click like, Tweet.

00:01:52.424 --> 00:01:55.124
So then, you know, we do this
confirmation that says, great,

00:01:55.124 --> 00:01:56.414
your votes have been counted.

00:01:56.414 --> 00:01:58.544
Do you wanna share it, click
this button to tweet it.

00:01:58.904 --> 00:02:04.394
When you click that button, the
social share image on Twitter includes

00:02:04.394 --> 00:02:05.864
the people that you voted for.

00:02:05.869 --> 00:02:06.704
Ah, yeah.

00:02:07.064 --> 00:02:11.084
So like on the card itself,
it'll say I just voted for Taylor

00:02:11.084 --> 00:02:13.374
and Adam to go on vacation.

00:02:13.724 --> 00:02:15.074
Like you should go vote for somebody.

00:02:15.134 --> 00:02:17.384
And so if you scroll through, like, if.

00:02:18.029 --> 00:02:22.349
Open Twitter and search tool.app,
and then just go to the live tab.

00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:24.959
So you see 'em all and
you just scroll through.

00:02:25.169 --> 00:02:30.389
You'll see, just hundreds and hundreds
of tweets with every card is like, uh,

00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:32.579
distinct based on who they voted for.

00:02:36.509 --> 00:02:36.569
Wow.

00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:36.721
Yeah, that is cool.

00:02:36.721 --> 00:02:37.199
Pretty, pretty cool.

00:02:38.164 --> 00:02:38.794
How'd you do that?

00:02:38.794 --> 00:02:43.474
So it's like a, it's like a native
Twitter campaign almost right?

00:02:43.984 --> 00:02:46.594
Um, yeah, I did it with Netlify actually.

00:02:46.594 --> 00:02:50.734
So the images are generated on a
Netlify like serverless function.

00:02:50.824 --> 00:02:57.514
Mm-hmm  and then through some magic,
like edge functions, we inject a

00:02:57.514 --> 00:02:59.954
little bit of code into the HTML.

00:03:00.364 --> 00:03:05.494
um, that changes the OG image based
on like a, like a unique identifier.

00:03:05.554 --> 00:03:06.364
So very cool.

00:03:06.364 --> 00:03:07.024
All the links.

00:03:07.024 --> 00:03:07.354
Yeah.

00:03:07.354 --> 00:03:09.304
All the links point to the same page.

00:03:09.694 --> 00:03:13.054
Um, but every image is, is
different based on who you voted.

00:03:13.204 --> 00:03:15.184
So pretty great.

00:03:15.244 --> 00:03:16.714
I was pretty thrilled.

00:03:16.774 --> 00:03:18.394
I was pretty thrilled with how it went.

00:03:18.394 --> 00:03:23.014
It kind of took over Twitter for like
two or three days and yeah, it was great.

00:03:23.014 --> 00:03:23.884
Ben was thrilled.

00:03:23.884 --> 00:03:25.024
Everyone on the team was thrilled.

00:03:25.024 --> 00:03:25.744
We still have a lot.

00:03:26.294 --> 00:03:28.034
Still have a lot of
like, work to do there.

00:03:28.034 --> 00:03:31.454
Cause we still have to, you know,
actually send the people on vacation

00:03:31.544 --> 00:03:35.474
mm-hmm  um, which is gonna be a
lot of logistics work, but the, the

00:03:35.474 --> 00:03:37.214
super fun part went really well.

00:03:37.214 --> 00:03:38.564
So I'm pumped about that.

00:03:38.624 --> 00:03:39.704
Nicely done.

00:03:39.914 --> 00:03:40.304
Very cool.

00:03:40.304 --> 00:03:40.664
Yeah.

00:03:40.664 --> 00:03:41.264
Thanks.

00:03:41.624 --> 00:03:42.254
Feels good.

00:03:42.254 --> 00:03:47.444
Feels good to have my first like
big public thing go really well.

00:03:47.474 --> 00:03:47.764
Yeah.

00:03:48.549 --> 00:03:52.719
Especially after like, I don't know, um,
two months of like working behind the

00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.129
scenes on stuff and to finally be like,
no, no, no, really  look, this works.

00:03:57.429 --> 00:03:59.019
Um, that felt really good.

00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:00.969
So that was great.

00:04:01.549 --> 00:04:06.079
Uh, in other triple news,
This is also good news.

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:08.299
It's gonna sound like it's not,
but it's also very good news.

00:04:08.299 --> 00:04:10.369
I'm now halftime at two.

00:04:10.549 --> 00:04:10.609
Yay.

00:04:11.689 --> 00:04:17.059
So, yeah, so, um, I've been
feeling for a while, like,

00:04:17.449 --> 00:04:18.799
you know, work working at two.

00:04:19.309 --> 00:04:23.209
Um, I was responsible for
like all of the marketing and.

00:04:24.584 --> 00:04:28.124
You know, the original job
application or job posting was

00:04:28.124 --> 00:04:33.554
like, come do like developer stuff
that also happens to be marketing.

00:04:33.794 --> 00:04:35.054
And I was like, yeah, that sounds great.

00:04:35.414 --> 00:04:38.174
And then it kind of just like
happened that everything marketing

00:04:38.174 --> 00:04:40.844
related got shifted over to me.

00:04:41.144 --> 00:04:46.304
And so I was doing all of this like
standard marketing work that I'm just not.

00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:47.599
Good at.

00:04:47.659 --> 00:04:52.979
Um, and I like more importantly, I don't
want to take my career towards standard

00:04:53.569 --> 00:04:57.499
marketing and there, there are people who
are really, really good at that stuff.

00:04:57.799 --> 00:05:01.999
Um, and so I, you know, I've
been talking to Ben all along

00:05:01.999 --> 00:05:03.889
and he's just incredibly like.

00:05:04.254 --> 00:05:07.764
Um, gracious and helpful in this
whole process, he was always

00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:08.994
asking like, how are you feeling?

00:05:08.994 --> 00:05:10.194
Like, what are you working on?

00:05:10.194 --> 00:05:11.124
Do you enjoy it?

00:05:11.124 --> 00:05:14.064
And it finally got to the point
where it's like, you know, I'm doing

00:05:14.064 --> 00:05:18.504
a ton of pure marketing work that
I don't feel like I'm that good at.

00:05:18.509 --> 00:05:21.024
And I don't want to spend my career doing.

00:05:21.024 --> 00:05:22.704
And I think people would be better served.

00:05:23.344 --> 00:05:26.914
If you had like a pure marketer,
like a head of marketing that

00:05:26.914 --> 00:05:28.294
was doing all of this stuff.

00:05:28.594 --> 00:05:32.794
Um, and so we, you know, we talked about
it over the course of many weeks and

00:05:32.794 --> 00:05:38.134
decided like, yeah, I think I, I think I,
Erin should be doing more of the develop,

00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:42.664
the pure developer stuff, and someone else
should be doing the pure marketing stuff.

00:05:42.694 --> 00:05:45.364
And so we decided great.

00:05:45.364 --> 00:05:50.104
Let's like, let's keep the band together,
but I don't think that's a full time job.

00:05:50.134 --> 00:05:50.764
And.

00:05:51.184 --> 00:05:55.324
So I'm gonna just like, just do
the developer marketing stuff

00:05:55.324 --> 00:05:58.294
for them and just like halftime.

00:05:58.324 --> 00:06:01.144
So kind of worked out great for everybody.

00:06:01.174 --> 00:06:06.034
Cause I think tubal really does need, um,
somebody that's more marketing than I am.

00:06:06.184 --> 00:06:10.084
Um, but I really like working
with them and I love this

00:06:10.084 --> 00:06:11.464
kind of stuff that I'm doing.

00:06:11.464 --> 00:06:13.654
So I think it's gonna
work out great, Erin.

00:06:14.044 --> 00:06:15.004
This is the dream.

00:06:15.069 --> 00:06:15.159
Right.

00:06:15.159 --> 00:06:15.219
Yeah.

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:17.409
It's time.

00:06:17.409 --> 00:06:18.029
Job's great.

00:06:18.029 --> 00:06:18.699
Yeah, it really is.

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.049
I mean, this is perfect.

00:06:20.349 --> 00:06:21.099
Yeah, it is perfect.

00:06:21.099 --> 00:06:25.869
And you know, Ben and I talked about
hammer stone and I I've told him from

00:06:25.869 --> 00:06:29.619
the very beginning it's, you know, at
some point I would like to be on my own.

00:06:29.619 --> 00:06:32.029
And so he's known that all along and.

00:06:33.049 --> 00:06:36.379
Like, I just think there's a really
great opportunity here for me

00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:42.019
to do a bunch of stuff publicly,
um, and build cool stuff, Fortu.

00:06:42.289 --> 00:06:47.629
And then in the other half of that
time build cool stuff, uh, for hammer

00:06:47.629 --> 00:06:49.459
stone and like, yeah, it's not.

00:06:50.169 --> 00:06:51.279
In a weird way.

00:06:51.549 --> 00:06:56.859
If I, I wanna talk about LA after,
but like, if I speak at LA that's

00:06:56.859 --> 00:07:00.549
like good for two, two, you know,
if I, you know, I'm going to this

00:07:00.549 --> 00:07:04.569
conference in Amsterdam for a PHP
thing, and if I go there and speak.

00:07:05.179 --> 00:07:06.139
About PHP.

00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:07.819
Like that's good for 2.2.

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:11.479
And so I feel like this is the best
of, best of both, both worlds things.

00:07:11.809 --> 00:07:13.069
So I'm, I'm super pumped.

00:07:13.099 --> 00:07:13.429
Yeah.

00:07:13.429 --> 00:07:15.409
This seems like the perfect setup.

00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:16.459
Totally agree.

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:20.139
Best of both worlds, you have a part-time
job to provide you a stable income.

00:07:21.409 --> 00:07:25.219
and then you have the rest of your time to
really dive in and do a lot of the hammer

00:07:25.219 --> 00:07:26.629
stone stuff you've been wanting to do.

00:07:27.049 --> 00:07:27.499
Totally.

00:07:27.679 --> 00:07:32.239
And I think one of the things that
I've like as I was doing a lot of this

00:07:32.449 --> 00:07:36.859
tube work and like talking through
everything along the way with Ben,

00:07:37.219 --> 00:07:41.689
um, one of the things that I realized
was like, I want to be doing more of.

00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.829
Like the hardcore technical stuff.

00:07:45.129 --> 00:07:50.649
Um, and that's, that's like one of the
things that I found interesting was, you

00:07:50.649 --> 00:07:55.869
know, Ben was offering me the ability
to grow into the head of marketing.

00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:57.939
Like he was like, you can do this.

00:07:57.944 --> 00:08:02.049
And if, if you want, if you want to
do it, I will help you get there.

00:08:02.109 --> 00:08:04.899
And you will end up with a team
of marketers underneath you,

00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:06.999
and you will be the boss, which.

00:08:07.619 --> 00:08:08.909
Incredibly flattering.

00:08:09.029 --> 00:08:14.009
Um, very kind, but I realized that's
not like that's not where I want end up.

00:08:14.309 --> 00:08:16.289
Like, I don't want to end
up as the head of marketing.

00:08:16.289 --> 00:08:18.479
I want to get more and more.

00:08:18.809 --> 00:08:22.829
Um, so yeah, I, I think that's
been a good realization for me.

00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:25.809
Um, so yeah, that's, that's
the big breaking news.

00:08:26.029 --> 00:08:27.329
Oh, that's amazing news.

00:08:27.329 --> 00:08:28.479
I'm so happy for you.

00:08:28.869 --> 00:08:29.889
Yeah, thanks.

00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:30.819
It's gonna be great.

00:08:31.119 --> 00:08:32.499
Yeah, I think so.

00:08:32.649 --> 00:08:35.919
So, um, I guess this is
the big announcement.

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.719
I mean, I haven't said
anything on Twitter.

00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:43.989
Um, surprise  but yeah, so I
think, you know, obviously.

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:49.109
Um, I'll need to make up the money,
you know, cuz now I'm half time at two.

00:08:49.499 --> 00:08:50.129
Um right.

00:08:50.549 --> 00:08:53.219
Hopefully that will all come
from hammer stone eventually.

00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:59.129
But in the meantime, I'm also taking
on a few, like I really wanna focus

00:08:59.134 --> 00:09:04.949
on Lael performance, um, in including
database and application side, both.

00:09:05.069 --> 00:09:08.909
And so I'm taking on a few
Lael performance consulting

00:09:08.909 --> 00:09:10.529
engagements, so awesome.

00:09:10.529 --> 00:09:12.569
Anybody out there needs help with their.

00:09:12.954 --> 00:09:14.574
Performance in their Laville app.

00:09:14.814 --> 00:09:16.404
Let me nice.

00:09:17.424 --> 00:09:19.434
So enough about me.

00:09:19.824 --> 00:09:20.694
What's going on over there.

00:09:20.694 --> 00:09:21.594
How was your vacation?

00:09:21.924 --> 00:09:22.884
Oh, it was so good.

00:09:23.184 --> 00:09:25.194
So I'm a lifelong east coaster.

00:09:25.194 --> 00:09:29.214
So I have never been to lake Tahoe, but if
you live in California, like everyone out

00:09:29.214 --> 00:09:31.884
here has been there before it is stunning.

00:09:32.274 --> 00:09:34.254
I mean, it was just, yeah, it was amazing.

00:09:34.254 --> 00:09:37.104
It's like a lake perfectly clear.

00:09:37.429 --> 00:09:41.809
Like 50 feet down with like snow
capped mountains in the background.

00:09:42.439 --> 00:09:43.819
It was really nice.

00:09:44.029 --> 00:09:45.169
We had great sounds pretty great.

00:09:45.619 --> 00:09:45.739
Good.

00:09:45.739 --> 00:09:46.039
Yeah.

00:09:46.309 --> 00:09:50.989
Now I know why people like go to the
mountains to like, feel creative, right?

00:09:50.989 --> 00:09:55.139
Like you just get out of your environment
and you're like, I really wanted to work.

00:09:55.229 --> 00:09:56.399
Like I'm not gonna lie.

00:09:57.389 --> 00:10:00.809
I was like, wow, I'm feeling so inspired
and creative out here in the mountains.

00:10:00.839 --> 00:10:01.079
Yeah.

00:10:01.079 --> 00:10:02.789
So did you come back full of ideas?

00:10:03.089 --> 00:10:06.479
I did come back full of
ideas, so it was great.

00:10:06.509 --> 00:10:08.129
It was, it was really relaxing.

00:10:08.134 --> 00:10:09.089
I'm glad we did it.

00:10:09.509 --> 00:10:10.559
Um, we had a wonderful time.

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:11.849
Oh, I have a story.

00:10:12.209 --> 00:10:15.049
Tell me, so we are in an Airbnb.

00:10:15.529 --> 00:10:19.819
And we, we went with some of our
friends, so there was actually, um, two

00:10:19.819 --> 00:10:21.889
other families that we met up there.

00:10:21.889 --> 00:10:25.279
So they 4, 8, 11 kids total.

00:10:26.269 --> 00:10:26.329
Whew.

00:10:26.424 --> 00:10:30.379
yeah, we did not all stay together,
which I think is the key to

00:10:30.384 --> 00:10:34.489
vacationing with friends is,
um, stay in your own house, but.

00:10:35.004 --> 00:10:38.454
We're in this suburban
neighborhood, we have an Airbnb.

00:10:39.294 --> 00:10:43.824
And in your like check-in documents,
there's a whole page about bears,

00:10:44.124 --> 00:10:47.904
but you're like, nah, I gotta
really have to worry about bears.

00:10:47.904 --> 00:10:48.204
Right.

00:10:48.924 --> 00:10:50.005
It's not gonna happen to me.

00:10:50.005 --> 00:10:50.006
Yeah.

00:10:50.006 --> 00:10:50.134
It's not gonna happen to me.

00:10:50.869 --> 00:10:51.889
I am not kidding.

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.649
We come home from the grocery store.

00:10:54.829 --> 00:10:56.029
We're in a neighborhood.

00:10:56.089 --> 00:11:02.599
It is the middle of the day, pull into
the driveway and my friend's car, which is

00:11:02.604 --> 00:11:04.669
parked right next to us in the driveway.

00:11:04.909 --> 00:11:05.989
Look over.

00:11:06.359 --> 00:11:11.309
And there is a bear that has broken
the window of their truck in their car.

00:11:11.969 --> 00:11:12.269
What?

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:14.549
I know it broke the window.

00:11:14.939 --> 00:11:15.959
Oh geez.

00:11:17.609 --> 00:11:18.150
It was crazy.

00:11:18.150 --> 00:11:18.152
That's aggressive.

00:11:18.152 --> 00:11:18.169
It was.

00:11:18.359 --> 00:11:18.539
Yeah.

00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:21.239
And then we're in the car and
it's like the bear's right there.

00:11:21.244 --> 00:11:24.929
And the first thought is like, If the
bear can break that window, the bear

00:11:24.929 --> 00:11:26.999
could probably break this window.

00:11:27.389 --> 00:11:27.719
Anyway.

00:11:27.719 --> 00:11:28.859
It was a lot of excitement.

00:11:29.249 --> 00:11:29.759
Geez.

00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:30.419
That's terrifying.

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:33.419
I've never heard a story of
a bear breaking into a car.

00:11:33.479 --> 00:11:34.649
I gotta send you a picture.

00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.839
Like it, it was, yeah, please do wild.

00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:38.399
And they claim so that the.

00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.979
The people who, the friends that own the
car, they have like little kids, so they

00:11:41.979 --> 00:11:45.069
didn't leave any food in the car, but you
know, you got like pretzels and goldfish

00:11:45.069 --> 00:11:46.659
in the car seat and all that stuff.

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:51.429
So we assumed that bear smelled
that stuff, but broke the window

00:11:51.489 --> 00:11:52.719
butt hanging outta the car.

00:11:53.109 --> 00:11:54.129
It was, it was wild.

00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:54.880
It was terrifying.

00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:55.569
It was wild.

00:11:55.574 --> 00:12:01.089
Like, and I had the baby, not the babies,
but I had like the little kids with me,

00:12:01.089 --> 00:12:03.039
three little kids, like five and under.

00:12:03.984 --> 00:12:06.264
We were gonna go for
a walk with popsicles.

00:12:06.264 --> 00:12:10.104
And I was like, I don't know if I can
protect three kids from a bear at once.

00:12:10.284 --> 00:12:10.374
Nope.

00:12:10.464 --> 00:12:11.094
Maybe we should.

00:12:11.094 --> 00:12:13.134
I don't know if you can
protect one kid from a bear.

00:12:13.254 --> 00:12:17.934
Colleen . So that was wild
bears are pretty strong.

00:12:20.154 --> 00:12:21.264
that was pretty wild.

00:12:21.264 --> 00:12:25.224
I, I don't know that I've ever been
that close to a bear in my life.

00:12:25.554 --> 00:12:25.614
Yeah.

00:12:25.614 --> 00:12:27.474
So definitely not a lot.

00:12:27.474 --> 00:12:29.154
That was, that was a,
that was a crazy day.

00:12:29.544 --> 00:12:30.354
How was the beach?

00:12:30.384 --> 00:12:31.464
What beach did you go to?

00:12:31.524 --> 00:12:32.574
Like beach was great.

00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:32.694
We.

00:12:33.344 --> 00:12:35.294
to some beach in Florida.

00:12:35.444 --> 00:12:37.274
Um, oh, you flew with my wife's family.

00:12:37.634 --> 00:12:39.684
We flew with the twins, with the babies.

00:12:39.794 --> 00:12:40.084
Yeah.

00:12:40.334 --> 00:12:41.204
With the babies.

00:12:41.624 --> 00:12:45.284
Um, it is hard work vacationing with kids.

00:12:45.404 --> 00:12:45.644
Oh yeah.

00:12:45.649 --> 00:12:46.184
It is.

00:12:46.604 --> 00:12:48.104
It is hard, man.

00:12:48.109 --> 00:12:49.094
We had a ton of fun.

00:12:49.364 --> 00:12:49.454
Yeah.

00:12:49.484 --> 00:12:54.314
Um, but you know, we've done this trip
before with no kids and boy howdy.

00:12:54.314 --> 00:12:55.754
It is a lot.

00:12:56.194 --> 00:12:58.054
Lot harder with kids.

00:12:58.504 --> 00:12:58.744
Yeah.

00:12:58.744 --> 00:13:03.244
I mean the naps, the eating all
the time, kids just eat like six

00:13:03.244 --> 00:13:09.004
times a day and then the sunscreen
and the sand and the sun on a baby.

00:13:09.694 --> 00:13:10.084
Yeah.

00:13:10.084 --> 00:13:12.124
It's like, what is this worth it?

00:13:12.304 --> 00:13:17.229
Um, so it was fun, but yeah,
it was, uh, It's hard work.

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.649
Yeah.

00:13:17.649 --> 00:13:20.589
I remember those days,
especially when they're little

00:13:20.589 --> 00:13:22.989
like, oh, it's a lot a hustle.

00:13:23.109 --> 00:13:23.799
It's a lot of hustle.

00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.849
We, we like to distinguish between
vacations and family trips.

00:13:28.239 --> 00:13:28.809
Yes.

00:13:28.869 --> 00:13:30.159
This was a family trip, right?

00:13:30.219 --> 00:13:30.699
For sure.

00:13:30.729 --> 00:13:31.419
Family trip.

00:13:31.809 --> 00:13:32.319
So.

00:13:33.069 --> 00:13:34.149
While I was there.

00:13:34.869 --> 00:13:37.089
Um, this is quick while I was there.

00:13:37.089 --> 00:13:41.229
I launched version one
of single store for Lago.

00:13:41.229 --> 00:13:42.039
Ooh, congratulations.

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:43.479
Um, thank you.

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:45.249
So I, I tagged it.

00:13:45.249 --> 00:13:48.309
I mean, I had launched, we'd
released it a while back, but

00:13:48.309 --> 00:13:49.869
I finally tagged version one.

00:13:49.869 --> 00:13:51.429
So that went super well.

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.629
Um, so I'm thrilled with that
wrote a quick start blog post

00:13:55.629 --> 00:13:57.309
for them, put it on their site.

00:13:57.744 --> 00:14:02.424
Um, so that's one of the long
running things I've been working on.

00:14:02.424 --> 00:14:04.344
And 1.0 is out the door.

00:14:04.704 --> 00:14:04.734
Congrat.

00:14:05.484 --> 00:14:06.114
Yeah.

00:14:06.114 --> 00:14:06.804
Thanks.

00:14:06.804 --> 00:14:08.694
Feeling, feeling good about that.

00:14:09.024 --> 00:14:16.074
And then, um, one other thing I wanna
talk about is my new YouTube studio.

00:14:16.344 --> 00:14:16.884
Oh yes.

00:14:16.884 --> 00:14:18.624
Tell me, tell me about this.

00:14:18.624 --> 00:14:20.334
So I think we had talked.

00:14:21.014 --> 00:14:26.174
Maybe last time making more
videos, um, like live streaming

00:14:26.174 --> 00:14:32.684
and making videos for refine and
basically just being more public.

00:14:32.684 --> 00:14:35.144
And now, now that I have the time.

00:14:35.984 --> 00:14:39.164
I've set up like a full
on YouTube studio in here.

00:14:39.164 --> 00:14:43.964
And so the plan is I'm gonna like start
doing live streaming stuff that I already

00:14:43.969 --> 00:14:48.914
needed to do, like building the demo site
for hammer stone, that kind of stuff.

00:14:48.974 --> 00:14:52.664
Um, but just do it live
and then I will also do.

00:14:53.074 --> 00:14:56.854
I will also start doing
some Lael YouTube videos.

00:14:56.944 --> 00:15:00.874
Um, because I think there's just,
there's just a lot of opportunity there.

00:15:00.874 --> 00:15:06.784
I mean, it, I, I watched a whole bunch
of videos on Lael on YouTube and there

00:15:06.784 --> 00:15:09.754
are some, like, there are some really
good ones, but I, I just think there's

00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.974
so many topics that aren't covered.

00:15:12.334 --> 00:15:17.369
Um, and aren't covered well, It would be
something that I could, I could tackle.

00:15:17.369 --> 00:15:19.769
So got a couple of like soft boxes.

00:15:19.769 --> 00:15:21.809
I got a real DSLR camera.

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:24.029
Um, yeah, I'm all set up.

00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:24.629
I'm ready to go.

00:15:24.629 --> 00:15:25.709
I'm ready to start recording.

00:15:25.949 --> 00:15:27.509
Wait, I wanna hear more about your setup.

00:15:27.509 --> 00:15:28.589
So is this a new camera?

00:15:29.129 --> 00:15:30.149
This is a new camera.

00:15:30.449 --> 00:15:33.249
So this is a can M 50 camera.

00:15:33.509 --> 00:15:33.799
Okay.

00:15:33.809 --> 00:15:40.529
Um, so it's a DSLR that's hooked
into, um, the El Gato 4k cam link.

00:15:40.589 --> 00:15:41.039
So it's.

00:15:41.824 --> 00:15:44.314
HDM I straight outta the
camera into the computer.

00:15:44.674 --> 00:15:48.034
Then on either side, I've
got these big light boxes.

00:15:48.394 --> 00:15:48.934
Um, oh.

00:15:49.294 --> 00:15:51.604
And then in front of
me, I have a ring light.

00:15:51.604 --> 00:15:56.674
So if I turn off, if I turn off these
light boxes, you can see it gets a lot.

00:15:57.004 --> 00:15:57.424
Oh, wow.

00:15:57.424 --> 00:15:59.434
The difference is quite extreme.

00:16:00.064 --> 00:16:00.454
Yeah.

00:16:00.514 --> 00:16:02.944
That's kind of what you
would expect on a, on a call.

00:16:02.944 --> 00:16:06.094
And then if I turn them back on,
it looks like I'm a YouTuber.

00:16:06.274 --> 00:16:06.634
It does.

00:16:06.694 --> 00:16:08.254
Um, it's weird, right?

00:16:08.254 --> 00:16:08.554
Yeah.

00:16:08.554 --> 00:16:09.004
It's super.

00:16:09.889 --> 00:16:11.809
And then I have a light behind me.

00:16:11.809 --> 00:16:11.839
Okay.

00:16:11.989 --> 00:16:16.849
Um, pointed down at my head
that kind of fills, like fills

00:16:16.849 --> 00:16:18.199
the background a little bit.

00:16:18.589 --> 00:16:22.039
And then a ring light right in
front of me that like fills me.

00:16:22.044 --> 00:16:23.059
So you have four lights, a little more.

00:16:23.479 --> 00:16:23.989
Yeah.

00:16:24.349 --> 00:16:26.359
Where do you put the ring
light on top of your monitor?

00:16:26.749 --> 00:16:30.409
Um, it's hooked, it's mounted on the
desk and it has a pole that stands

00:16:30.409 --> 00:16:31.609
up and it's behind the monitor.

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:33.949
So you really put some effort into this?

00:16:34.189 --> 00:16:35.479
Oh yeah, I did.

00:16:35.839 --> 00:16:36.919
Yeah, I really did.

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.629
I thought this is something, I mean,
one it's fun, but two, like, I feel

00:16:41.629 --> 00:16:43.519
like, how do I say this nicely?

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.459
I feel like a lot of the videos
on YouTube developer videos are

00:16:46.459 --> 00:16:47.659
just kind of thrown together.

00:16:47.719 --> 00:16:48.019
Right.

00:16:48.409 --> 00:16:50.089
And if you go watch like.

00:16:50.644 --> 00:16:55.384
I don't know, personal finance or,
you know, marketing videos or any

00:16:55.384 --> 00:16:56.944
of these other niches on YouTube.

00:16:57.364 --> 00:17:01.114
Um, they're like really well done
so much better and really sharp.

00:17:01.444 --> 00:17:03.634
And I thought why I could do some of that.

00:17:03.634 --> 00:17:08.104
Like, I'm not gonna become
a expert video maker, but I

00:17:08.104 --> 00:17:09.394
could step it up a little bit.

00:17:09.454 --> 00:17:10.054
I like it.

00:17:10.054 --> 00:17:12.394
So does the new camera do
the blurred background?

00:17:12.754 --> 00:17:13.024
Yeah.

00:17:13.024 --> 00:17:15.844
So the new camera, um, I have a.

00:17:16.554 --> 00:17:18.564
A, I got a new lens for it.

00:17:18.624 --> 00:17:19.164
Um, okay.

00:17:19.434 --> 00:17:21.384
That makes the background blurry.

00:17:21.384 --> 00:17:25.284
So it's a really low F stop,
I think is how you say it.

00:17:25.289 --> 00:17:28.944
And so it's focused, like
whatever it focuses on.

00:17:29.064 --> 00:17:29.514
Woo.

00:17:30.204 --> 00:17:32.724
Everything else is just
super out of focus.

00:17:33.444 --> 00:17:34.194
Isn't that crazy?

00:17:34.224 --> 00:17:35.154
That is crazy.

00:17:35.574 --> 00:17:36.114
Yeah.

00:17:36.204 --> 00:17:39.184
So it's like, This is all
straight outta the camera.

00:17:39.184 --> 00:17:41.644
So there's no like AI
processing or whatever.

00:17:41.644 --> 00:17:43.594
So it doesn't ever get wonky or anything.

00:17:43.894 --> 00:17:46.174
How much did, how much
did the whole setup cost?

00:17:46.444 --> 00:17:46.804
Ish.

00:17:46.834 --> 00:17:48.364
A lot of money calling a lot of money.

00:17:48.454 --> 00:17:49.924
It costs, it costs a lot of money.

00:17:50.674 --> 00:17:53.884
yeah, I think the camera
was like five or $600.

00:17:54.034 --> 00:17:54.254
Wow.

00:17:54.814 --> 00:17:55.294
Oh yeah.

00:17:55.294 --> 00:17:56.825
It's a, oh, I idea idea.

00:17:56.944 --> 00:17:59.134
It's like a, it's a can camera.

00:17:59.134 --> 00:18:00.634
I mean, it's a DSLR camera.

00:18:00.634 --> 00:18:00.694
Wow.

00:18:01.684 --> 00:18:04.264
Um, and the lens was a
couple hundred as well.

00:18:04.999 --> 00:18:06.619
And then all the lights and everything.

00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:06.859
Yeah.

00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:07.729
It's expensive.

00:18:07.789 --> 00:18:08.149
Yeah.

00:18:08.209 --> 00:18:09.349
No, you look very crisp.

00:18:09.829 --> 00:18:10.339
Like, thanks.

00:18:10.909 --> 00:18:11.869
It's it's good.

00:18:11.869 --> 00:18:12.589
You feel very crisp.

00:18:12.649 --> 00:18:13.099
Yeah.

00:18:13.309 --> 00:18:13.999
It's good.

00:18:14.329 --> 00:18:14.779
Wow.

00:18:14.784 --> 00:18:15.519
That's exciting.

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.459
Oh man.

00:18:16.459 --> 00:18:17.869
Yeah, that'll be fun.

00:18:18.199 --> 00:18:21.469
So look forward to many,
many YouTube videos.

00:18:21.529 --> 00:18:28.369
Um, hopefully as I, as I, uh, recoup
that cost over  over the tens of

00:18:28.369 --> 00:18:30.199
cents I will make off of YouTube.

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.819
All right, let's talk.

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:33.979
Uh, what do you wanna talk about rails?

00:18:34.534 --> 00:18:36.214
Talk about your call that you had?

00:18:36.364 --> 00:18:39.274
Well, let's talk about the Lael
sale first, because that also

00:18:39.274 --> 00:18:40.654
happened while I was on vacation.

00:18:40.999 --> 00:18:42.739
That happened while I was on vacation too.

00:18:43.009 --> 00:18:43.249
Oh, fun.

00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:44.479
Um, yeah.

00:18:44.479 --> 00:18:49.459
So there's a guy in Laville that I'm
friends with boss, man, Chris, and

00:18:49.459 --> 00:18:54.799
he's been waiting for react to be ready
and, you know, it's all open sourced.

00:18:54.804 --> 00:18:57.619
And so he is, I guess, been watching
it or heard, heard us talk about it

00:18:57.619 --> 00:19:01.429
on the podcast or something and was
like, Hey, what if I just buy it?

00:19:01.459 --> 00:19:02.089
And he bought it.

00:19:02.089 --> 00:19:05.659
He just, he just bought the back
end because he heard react was.

00:19:06.414 --> 00:19:08.274
And then sent me an email and
was like, Hey, I can't figure

00:19:08.274 --> 00:19:09.084
out how to get it set up.

00:19:09.089 --> 00:19:11.484
And I was like, wait,
did you already buy it?

00:19:12.414 --> 00:19:17.304
um, and he had, and so I sent him an
email back that was like, here's usually,

00:19:17.304 --> 00:19:19.674
I would try to get on a call with you
to help you with this, but since you

00:19:19.674 --> 00:19:21.654
already bought it, which is amazing.

00:19:21.659 --> 00:19:22.254
Thank you.

00:19:22.674 --> 00:19:24.774
Um, here's you know how I would do it?

00:19:25.324 --> 00:19:29.074
And then I said, let's get on a call and
I can walk you through even more of it.

00:19:29.434 --> 00:19:33.214
Um, and I haven't heard back from yet, so
either he got it set up and is thrilled

00:19:33.214 --> 00:19:35.554
or he's moved on to something else.

00:19:35.554 --> 00:19:37.444
So I'll reach out to him again.

00:19:37.444 --> 00:19:43.504
But yeah, he just like heard the react
one was ready and bought the PHP one and

00:19:43.774 --> 00:19:46.354
did it all himself, which is pretty great.

00:19:46.984 --> 00:19:47.794
That's amazing.

00:19:47.824 --> 00:19:48.394
Love it.

00:19:49.214 --> 00:19:49.814
I know.

00:19:50.174 --> 00:19:52.274
So we made another sale, which is good.

00:19:52.604 --> 00:19:57.314
Um, and I need to, I need to finish, I
need to Polish up some of the react stuff.

00:19:57.314 --> 00:20:01.904
Dave has gotten some more stuff
done there, including browser tests,

00:20:01.909 --> 00:20:03.524
which is gonna be really nice.

00:20:03.584 --> 00:20:06.854
Um, so yeah, react is ready.

00:20:07.184 --> 00:20:07.604
It's all.

00:20:07.604 --> 00:20:08.234
It's all we made a sale.

00:20:09.374 --> 00:20:10.064
Yay.

00:20:10.124 --> 00:20:10.844
That's wonderful.

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:16.799
So I had a call yesterday with, um, an
analytics company that is very interested.

00:20:16.949 --> 00:20:22.059
Mm-hmm  analytics companies are
tough because they have such

00:20:22.439 --> 00:20:25.949
complicated requirements when they
look at segmenting their user base.

00:20:26.249 --> 00:20:26.459
Right.

00:20:26.909 --> 00:20:28.829
And it was in Dutch, by the way.

00:20:28.859 --> 00:20:29.669
Did I share that part?

00:20:29.999 --> 00:20:34.259
so you did not, I mean, they spoke
English perfectly, but like okay, good.

00:20:34.289 --> 00:20:36.089
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,
the interface was all good.

00:20:36.089 --> 00:20:38.459
We were able to communicate
no problem, but.

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.139
It was kind of funny cuz they were trying
to show me what they had, not in English.

00:20:43.529 --> 00:20:47.159
So yeah, that was, that
was an added fun layer.

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:50.099
And so I think it went really well.

00:20:50.609 --> 00:20:53.759
They, um, they seemed
really excited about it.

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:55.529
Something they're very interested in.

00:20:55.884 --> 00:21:00.954
They, uh, their CTO wanted to kind
of put together a few more specific

00:21:00.954 --> 00:21:04.734
questions about the tech, because what
they're doing now is they're doing the

00:21:04.734 --> 00:21:09.084
same thing our client is doing, where
they're pulling a list of IDs from one

00:21:09.084 --> 00:21:11.604
query and putting it into another query.

00:21:12.174 --> 00:21:16.194
So we do that for our client because
it's actually two different databases.

00:21:16.254 --> 00:21:17.634
Mm-hmm , but they do that.

00:21:18.529 --> 00:21:21.169
they said it's faster
quizzical look on my face.

00:21:21.169 --> 00:21:21.499
Right.

00:21:22.409 --> 00:21:26.989
So that was an interesting, uh,
I thought that was an interesting

00:21:26.989 --> 00:21:30.469
assertion, but I think he has mm-hmm
my understanding from our call

00:21:30.469 --> 00:21:33.169
was he has like a database person.

00:21:33.229 --> 00:21:37.159
So the next step with them is they're
gonna send me some questions and, um,

00:21:37.164 --> 00:21:41.479
maybe sit down, maybe we'll sit down
with their database person to kind

00:21:41.479 --> 00:21:43.549
of more fully understand their needs.

00:21:43.819 --> 00:21:45.859
They're very interested in this concept.

00:21:46.624 --> 00:21:50.944
The nested inline filters, which is
something we have talked about for a

00:21:50.944 --> 00:21:53.794
while, uh, but is a big lift for us.

00:21:53.944 --> 00:21:55.414
So they're very interested in that.

00:21:55.414 --> 00:21:56.284
They think that would be great.

00:21:56.284 --> 00:21:56.464
I mean, you.

00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:59.819
I think it's important to remember.

00:22:00.529 --> 00:22:03.649
So this nested inline filter
concept is this concept of

00:22:03.649 --> 00:22:05.299
you're on the contacts page.

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:09.579
And you want all contacts who have
purchased products that meet a specific

00:22:09.889 --> 00:22:14.959
product filter mm-hmm . And you wanna
build that out all on the same page, but

00:22:15.169 --> 00:22:17.569
I think in many of our use cases like.

00:22:17.989 --> 00:22:22.579
I can make custom conditions or
they can make custom conditions

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:24.499
that meet a lot of their needs.

00:22:24.739 --> 00:22:25.519
I think so.

00:22:25.879 --> 00:22:27.199
Like I don't, I think that's true.

00:22:27.199 --> 00:22:31.549
And I think that's easier for
them and easier for the end user.

00:22:31.609 --> 00:22:31.999
Yeah.

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:34.189
Cuz the UI for this is gonna be tricky.

00:22:34.194 --> 00:22:36.679
Like I was talking about
it with our contractor and.

00:22:37.104 --> 00:22:41.214
I think the more we think about it,
cuz I already made our current client.

00:22:41.214 --> 00:22:43.644
So they have the event table
that links all the IDs.

00:22:43.644 --> 00:22:48.174
So you come in, you view a product like
you get all those IDs on your event table.

00:22:48.534 --> 00:22:51.354
And I was able to build them a
custom condition, which is all

00:22:51.354 --> 00:22:55.314
users that have viewed product
with name, whatever, with whatever.

00:22:55.614 --> 00:22:58.134
But I think when they first
thought of that, because you have

00:22:58.134 --> 00:23:00.094
that, those two IDs, like in the.

00:23:00.699 --> 00:23:04.329
Clause, if you will, you think
of it as a nested filter, right.

00:23:04.389 --> 00:23:05.949
But it's really a custom condition.

00:23:06.249 --> 00:23:09.609
So, so that's kind of what I'm thinking
is like, there are a lot of use cases.

00:23:09.609 --> 00:23:11.169
People are like, oh, nested filters.

00:23:11.169 --> 00:23:13.419
I'm like, I don't know
that you really need that.

00:23:13.809 --> 00:23:15.909
That that's as high
priority as you think it is.

00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.589
So it's still something I wanna do, but I
don't think it's gonna be a deal breaker.

00:23:20.829 --> 00:23:23.589
Yeah, no, I think, and you told him great.

00:23:23.589 --> 00:23:25.419
We'll have that bye by right now.

00:23:25.419 --> 00:23:25.659
Right?

00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:26.559
Perfect.

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:26.859
Yeah.

00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:28.179
That I think that's the move.

00:23:28.509 --> 00:23:32.649
Cause I mean, if they need it
or not is an open question.

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.329
Could they get started without it?

00:23:34.329 --> 00:23:35.379
Absolutely.

00:23:35.384 --> 00:23:35.419
Absolutely.

00:23:35.649 --> 00:23:35.919
Here.

00:23:35.919 --> 00:23:40.449
So I mean, my take on all of this Erin,
and this is what I told these guys.

00:23:40.449 --> 00:23:44.829
And, um, we are small and
scrappy and this is for both

00:23:44.829 --> 00:23:46.769
of us, our number one priority.

00:23:47.389 --> 00:23:51.159
So we are going to do everything
we can to make this work for you.

00:23:51.219 --> 00:23:52.539
And if it doesn't, we'll sort it.

00:23:53.334 --> 00:23:57.474
We aren't gonna sell you something you
don't need, but we, I mean, we want every

00:23:57.474 --> 00:24:00.564
single customer to be incredibly happy.

00:24:00.804 --> 00:24:01.404
Yes.

00:24:01.524 --> 00:24:03.474
So we're all in.

00:24:03.474 --> 00:24:04.854
Good to make sure that happens.

00:24:04.884 --> 00:24:08.034
And if, for any reason you aren't
like, we'll, we'll sort it out.

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:12.474
But I really think that the
huge benefit to working with us.

00:24:13.134 --> 00:24:15.324
Is, we are super committed.

00:24:15.324 --> 00:24:16.554
It's not a huge company, right?

00:24:16.554 --> 00:24:17.664
We, we are right.

00:24:17.754 --> 00:24:20.694
You and I are two people who are
super committed to making this work.

00:24:20.904 --> 00:24:22.104
So it's gonna work.

00:24:22.374 --> 00:24:25.554
Did you learn that from your sales,
YouTube videos that was compelling?

00:24:25.734 --> 00:24:26.514
No, I didn't.

00:24:26.874 --> 00:24:26.994
that?

00:24:26.994 --> 00:24:27.324
Wasn't.

00:24:27.324 --> 00:24:28.254
That was good.

00:24:28.284 --> 00:24:28.674
Thank you.

00:24:28.974 --> 00:24:30.234
I'm re I'm ready to buy.

00:24:30.234 --> 00:24:32.904
I think that was great,
but it's also true, right?

00:24:32.904 --> 00:24:34.074
Like, I mean, of course.

00:24:34.074 --> 00:24:34.314
Yeah.

00:24:34.314 --> 00:24:35.184
That's the best part.

00:24:35.484 --> 00:24:36.144
No, I didn't.

00:24:36.204 --> 00:24:39.834
The sales YouTube videos were a
little, little slimier than that.

00:24:40.454 --> 00:24:41.294
Well, that was good.

00:24:41.294 --> 00:24:42.254
I, I applaud you.

00:24:42.254 --> 00:24:43.094
I like that line.

00:24:43.544 --> 00:24:45.344
So, um, I hope to hear back from them.

00:24:45.344 --> 00:24:46.514
I'll reach out with them.

00:24:46.694 --> 00:24:49.364
I mean, the last episode
we did, what did you say?

00:24:49.724 --> 00:24:52.274
You said follow up or
die, follow up or die.

00:24:52.274 --> 00:24:55.634
So I'll definitely add them to our
list and, you know, follow up with

00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:57.534
them and see if, if it's a good fit.

00:24:57.594 --> 00:24:57.814
But.

00:24:58.384 --> 00:24:59.194
Yeah, I'm excited.

00:24:59.194 --> 00:25:02.164
So I scheduled, um, I, I
scheduled an onboarding date with

00:25:02.164 --> 00:25:03.604
Ben, so that's like next week.

00:25:04.114 --> 00:25:04.294
Whoa.

00:25:04.954 --> 00:25:07.744
I know you told me to, so I did teammate.

00:25:08.074 --> 00:25:08.584
That's great.

00:25:09.154 --> 00:25:09.634
I love that.

00:25:09.634 --> 00:25:10.924
I love having power like that.

00:25:11.434 --> 00:25:12.334
that's great.

00:25:12.334 --> 00:25:15.784
That's so soon I know it's
maybe the week after next, but

00:25:15.784 --> 00:25:17.284
it's like the next week or two.

00:25:17.734 --> 00:25:22.264
Um, I think the only thing we have
to have before we put it on anyone's

00:25:22.264 --> 00:25:23.854
side is client side validations.

00:25:23.884 --> 00:25:24.334
Like we.

00:25:25.144 --> 00:25:26.134
We've gotta have it.

00:25:26.194 --> 00:25:27.424
That is for me.

00:25:27.904 --> 00:25:30.544
Uh, I'm trying to, I'm trying to.

00:25:31.414 --> 00:25:35.344
Pick like one thing a week, because
what always happens to me is I

00:25:35.674 --> 00:25:37.564
think I can do all of these things.

00:25:37.594 --> 00:25:40.504
And software always takes longer
than you think it's gonna take.

00:25:40.744 --> 00:25:41.824
Yeah, this is just life.

00:25:41.824 --> 00:25:43.294
We all know this is true.

00:25:43.294 --> 00:25:46.204
And we all continue to lie to ourselves
about how long it's gonna take.

00:25:46.684 --> 00:25:50.804
And so this week, like validations
are my number one priority.

00:25:51.429 --> 00:25:52.779
Gotta get that solved.

00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:56.559
Um, I was telling you, before
we, before we recorded that our

00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.339
contractor has done some great
refactoring to use form objects.

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:01.329
So hopefully that'll.

00:26:01.954 --> 00:26:03.694
This whole situation, a little easier.

00:26:04.084 --> 00:26:07.294
The real struggle we're having with these
client side validations is if we could

00:26:07.294 --> 00:26:10.834
just put the errors on the blueprint,
it would like not be a problem, but I

00:26:10.834 --> 00:26:15.244
know we're trying really hard not to
do that because you really sold me with

00:26:15.244 --> 00:26:17.944
your, the blueprint is the user's intent.

00:26:18.064 --> 00:26:18.724
So.

00:26:18.994 --> 00:26:22.624
That's like the big push for me this week
is we gotta get these validations cuz

00:26:22.624 --> 00:26:24.544
I'm onboarding Ben in like a week or two.

00:26:24.904 --> 00:26:26.944
And um, and that's really exciting.

00:26:27.004 --> 00:26:32.074
And yeah, so, so for on the rail side,
I think a lot of the work right now,

00:26:32.074 --> 00:26:36.544
obviously validations and I have a
list of like other tasks, but the.

00:26:37.064 --> 00:26:39.374
A lot of it is gonna
be this implementation.

00:26:39.404 --> 00:26:42.674
And I think like, as we've talked
about, like, as we start implementing

00:26:42.674 --> 00:26:44.684
it, what are the sticky points?

00:26:44.684 --> 00:26:47.264
Should we provide more rappers around it?

00:26:47.324 --> 00:26:49.904
I think we're, I think we're
gonna end up providing an optional

00:26:49.904 --> 00:26:52.694
wrapper with an applied discard
button, which is totally fine.

00:26:52.904 --> 00:26:53.594
I think that's great.

00:26:53.864 --> 00:26:57.284
And one more thing we need, what
we, really, another thing we really

00:26:57.289 --> 00:27:01.034
need is we need what they have
requested, which I think is a great

00:27:01.034 --> 00:27:04.214
idea is like pills that essentially.

00:27:04.634 --> 00:27:08.324
Show you what filter you
currently have applied.

00:27:08.594 --> 00:27:11.984
So we need you, and I need to
think about how we wanna do that.

00:27:12.194 --> 00:27:16.214
Cause for example, when I
demo this, I dump the sequel.

00:27:16.424 --> 00:27:19.724
So people can re mm-hmm  can
know what we're looking at.

00:27:19.724 --> 00:27:22.964
So what's happening with our client
engineers and our client is big.

00:27:22.964 --> 00:27:24.014
They have 50 engineers.

00:27:24.014 --> 00:27:24.854
I think we've mentioned that.

00:27:25.374 --> 00:27:26.784
Is they'll apply a filter.

00:27:26.784 --> 00:27:30.534
The user will come in and apply a
filter or someone will be testing

00:27:30.534 --> 00:27:31.494
and they'll apply a filter.

00:27:31.494 --> 00:27:32.724
And then they won't remember.

00:27:33.234 --> 00:27:34.764
They won't like, know
what they're looking at.

00:27:35.064 --> 00:27:36.894
We need to give them something.

00:27:37.254 --> 00:27:39.714
And, and I almost think
it's like, I don't know.

00:27:39.719 --> 00:27:40.674
We need to think about it.

00:27:40.704 --> 00:27:43.564
Um, they want something, well,
why I don't understand why

00:27:43.564 --> 00:27:45.294
can't they not see the filter?

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:48.149
That they've applied, cuz
it's hidden in the popover.

00:27:48.179 --> 00:27:48.449
Right?

00:27:48.449 --> 00:27:49.469
Cuz you click filter.

00:27:49.469 --> 00:27:51.749
You say contacts, name, Colleen apply.

00:27:51.959 --> 00:27:56.429
That window closes mm-hmm  and then all
you see are contacts filtered by name

00:27:56.434 --> 00:27:58.499
equals Colleen, but you don't know that?

00:27:58.859 --> 00:27:58.919
Yeah.

00:27:58.919 --> 00:27:58.949
Okay.

00:27:58.949 --> 00:28:02.129
Like what they want is they want
pills that would say name equals

00:28:02.134 --> 00:28:04.829
Colleen and then you could X
one out and then it would clear.

00:28:04.829 --> 00:28:04.889
So.

00:28:06.309 --> 00:28:06.879
Interesting.

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:11.709
We can talk about that offline, but,
um, yeah, that's a big, that's a

00:28:11.709 --> 00:28:14.259
big thing they've been requesting
and I think it's a great idea.

00:28:14.679 --> 00:28:17.739
I don't know that it's something
like we'd provide the UI for that.

00:28:17.739 --> 00:28:20.289
I feel like right.

00:28:20.409 --> 00:28:23.859
I, I feel like we would just
provide, we just need to provide

00:28:23.859 --> 00:28:25.269
some kind of data structure.

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:26.769
To let, I don't know.

00:28:26.769 --> 00:28:27.489
We'll think about it.

00:28:27.489 --> 00:28:28.749
We need to think of,
talk about that all more.

00:28:28.749 --> 00:28:31.599
I mean, that's the blueprint,
you're, you're basically rendering

00:28:31.689 --> 00:28:33.459
the blueprint again, right.

00:28:33.459 --> 00:28:37.599
In a different form in a different
form, which, I mean, I know that they're

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:43.419
using Hotwire, but in our react and
or view versions, you could do that.

00:28:43.424 --> 00:28:46.019
You could have the same blueprint
in two different places.

00:28:46.869 --> 00:28:48.609
Rendered completely differently.

00:28:48.609 --> 00:28:49.239
One.

00:28:49.649 --> 00:28:53.339
Super in line and one with
more Chrome around it.

00:28:53.789 --> 00:28:55.769
Um, so I mean, that's doable.

00:28:55.769 --> 00:28:58.199
I just don't know how you
would do it on, in hot wire.

00:28:58.619 --> 00:28:58.829
Yeah.

00:28:58.834 --> 00:28:59.489
We'll talk about it.

00:28:59.489 --> 00:29:00.809
I'm I'm sure we can sort it out.

00:29:00.809 --> 00:29:04.199
I mean, that's so that's kind of like a
ne the next thing that's right though.

00:29:04.199 --> 00:29:04.639
We can just.

00:29:05.224 --> 00:29:05.914
We'll sort that out.

00:29:06.274 --> 00:29:06.364
Yeah.

00:29:06.394 --> 00:29:07.444
Um, so let's see.

00:29:07.444 --> 00:29:10.954
So validations this week really
wanna get that cleaned up and then

00:29:10.959 --> 00:29:12.444
we have a couple little things.

00:29:13.414 --> 00:29:17.314
Um, I've started thinking about how
we wanna do like a demo site you had

00:29:17.314 --> 00:29:20.704
mentioned, are you gonna live stream
a demo site for the layer site?

00:29:20.704 --> 00:29:21.034
I think so.

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.484
Yeah.

00:29:21.544 --> 00:29:21.964
Very cool.

00:29:22.024 --> 00:29:22.264
Yeah.

00:29:22.684 --> 00:29:23.194
I'll be honest.

00:29:23.194 --> 00:29:24.814
That makes me, that makes me nervous.

00:29:24.844 --> 00:29:28.144
Like just, just the concept of
live streaming stuff makes me

00:29:28.144 --> 00:29:29.284
nervous, but I think it's good.

00:29:29.404 --> 00:29:30.966
I think it'll be, oh, it'll be.

00:29:31.374 --> 00:29:32.154
I think it'll be good.

00:29:32.154 --> 00:29:35.154
And I think it'll be, uh, it's
kinda like a forcing function too.

00:29:35.454 --> 00:29:39.234
Like I'm not going to, I'm not gonna dork
around if I'm live streaming, I gotta

00:29:39.234 --> 00:29:41.274
get, like, I gotta get the stuff done.

00:29:41.304 --> 00:29:41.424
Right.

00:29:41.424 --> 00:29:45.774
So I think it'll be, are you gonna
like, is that YouTube or Twitch or both?

00:29:46.104 --> 00:29:47.514
I'm gonna start on YouTube.

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.504
I feel like Twitch is its own
subculture that I don't really

00:29:51.504 --> 00:29:53.094
have time to learn right now.

00:29:53.304 --> 00:29:55.724
Um, So I'm just gonna start on YouTube.

00:29:56.024 --> 00:29:56.534
All right.

00:29:56.984 --> 00:30:00.974
So you have also on this list
LA summer, what does that mean?

00:30:01.184 --> 00:30:03.494
Yeah, Laracon online is coming back again.

00:30:04.904 --> 00:30:05.024
Yay.

00:30:05.024 --> 00:30:05.204
Yeah.

00:30:05.204 --> 00:30:09.104
So they're doing summer edition
and I want, I wanna submit a talk

00:30:09.109 --> 00:30:10.544
and I don't know what to submit.

00:30:10.544 --> 00:30:11.534
So what should I do?

00:30:11.594 --> 00:30:16.214
I wanna do something like database
slash performance related.

00:30:16.454 --> 00:30:18.104
Um, but what should I do?

00:30:18.494 --> 00:30:19.184
I don't know.

00:30:19.274 --> 00:30:22.094
Can you take something from, I mean,
do you wanna do something like.

00:30:22.669 --> 00:30:25.549
can you take something from one
of your consulting engagements?

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.269
Probably.

00:30:26.269 --> 00:30:26.599
Yeah.

00:30:26.719 --> 00:30:31.699
I mean, I really like the, the talks
where it's like solving this problem

00:30:31.699 --> 00:30:33.139
where the database is locking up.

00:30:33.229 --> 00:30:36.379
Mm-hmm  walking through the queries
or walking through the, the app

00:30:36.379 --> 00:30:38.269
to figure out like in rails.

00:30:38.269 --> 00:30:42.229
We have a lot of things that like,
I guess I don't obviously know

00:30:42.229 --> 00:30:46.219
that much about Elle, but in LA in
rails, we have a lot of like common

00:30:46.219 --> 00:30:48.719
mistakes people make mm-hmm  when.

00:30:49.219 --> 00:30:51.529
Because we don't think about
performance until we have to.

00:30:51.829 --> 00:30:53.689
So designing for performance.

00:30:53.694 --> 00:30:54.149
That's interesting.

00:30:54.199 --> 00:30:56.359
That's what it should be
design for performance upfront.

00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.709
That that is a pretty good title.

00:31:00.714 --> 00:31:01.459
I like that.

00:31:01.909 --> 00:31:02.509
I think that, okay.

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.319
Well that was easy.

00:31:03.439 --> 00:31:04.339
That was easy.

00:31:05.329 --> 00:31:07.609
I just gotta build a whole talk
around it, but I think I can do that.

00:31:07.609 --> 00:31:08.779
I think you can do that.

00:31:09.109 --> 00:31:09.589
Totally.

00:31:09.589 --> 00:31:09.889
Do.

00:31:10.584 --> 00:31:11.664
Um, well, that's fine.

00:31:11.724 --> 00:31:12.144
Okay, cool.

00:31:12.444 --> 00:31:13.704
Yeah, we'll see.

00:31:13.704 --> 00:31:16.074
I mean, might as well submit something.

00:31:16.074 --> 00:31:18.024
We'll see if, uh, it gets chosen.

00:31:18.294 --> 00:31:18.924
Yeah.

00:31:19.044 --> 00:31:23.754
And your talk in where
Europe somewhere this fall.

00:31:24.224 --> 00:31:26.664
Uh, yeah, be, and TWRP.

00:31:27.424 --> 00:31:28.054
Okay.

00:31:28.384 --> 00:31:30.454
What's that one on that's on sidecar.

00:31:30.784 --> 00:31:31.324
Okay, cool.

00:31:31.564 --> 00:31:31.864
Very nice.

00:31:31.864 --> 00:31:32.104
Yeah.

00:31:32.464 --> 00:31:36.454
I need to, I need to prepare,
I need to update that, but it's

00:31:36.454 --> 00:31:40.084
not, you know, I'm not creating it
from scratch, so that'll be okay.

00:31:40.384 --> 00:31:44.704
So when are we ready to like really start.

00:31:45.064 --> 00:31:47.134
Pushing on some of this Larabe marketing.

00:31:47.464 --> 00:31:50.434
Like we have a whole list of
things that, what does that mean?

00:31:50.464 --> 00:31:51.964
That means, hold on.

00:31:51.964 --> 00:31:54.814
I got a list emailing the Laracon list.

00:31:55.054 --> 00:31:58.354
Um, reaching out to the Larabe news.

00:31:58.354 --> 00:32:01.174
People doing a product hunt launch.

00:32:01.204 --> 00:32:02.824
I think we should do all these things.

00:32:02.854 --> 00:32:07.054
I don't know that we need to do them
right now, but where is your comfort

00:32:07.054 --> 00:32:09.604
level with supporting like a big push.

00:32:09.994 --> 00:32:11.314
For the Lael product?

00:32:11.614 --> 00:32:12.964
Um, pretty high.

00:32:12.964 --> 00:32:12.994
Okay.

00:32:13.574 --> 00:32:14.944
Um, let me think.

00:32:15.334 --> 00:32:19.114
So big push, what do we need?

00:32:19.954 --> 00:32:23.234
So I think it may be useful
to divide that between.

00:32:24.094 --> 00:32:25.474
What do we need on the marketing side?

00:32:25.474 --> 00:32:26.614
And what do we need on the technical?

00:32:26.794 --> 00:32:31.144
Um, I think on the technical
side, we don't need anything.

00:32:31.414 --> 00:32:31.654
Okay.

00:32:31.714 --> 00:32:33.544
Like on the technical side,
we're we're totally ready.

00:32:33.964 --> 00:32:40.474
Save for front end documentation,
which spans both technical and okay.

00:32:40.474 --> 00:32:41.284
We do need.

00:32:41.674 --> 00:32:45.934
Some front end documentation, like how
to use the view and how to use react.

00:32:46.324 --> 00:32:50.104
Um, so in that regard, I feel great.

00:32:50.164 --> 00:32:50.824
Totally ready.

00:32:50.884 --> 00:32:53.524
I think on the marketing side,
we do need the demo site.

00:32:53.524 --> 00:32:54.574
I was just thinking that.

00:32:54.979 --> 00:32:59.989
Yep because I, I, and maybe this is
like me being afraid or something, but

00:32:59.989 --> 00:33:05.479
I really don't wanna push super hard
before we have the demo site there.

00:33:05.719 --> 00:33:09.619
Cuz I feel like that's been a
pretty common refrain from people

00:33:09.619 --> 00:33:12.319
that we've tried to pitch it
to is like, can I play with it?

00:33:12.529 --> 00:33:14.599
It's like, no, we can get on
a call and I can show you.

00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:16.189
And like, I just wanna see the thing.

00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:19.789
Um, so would we need
anything else beyond that?

00:33:19.969 --> 00:33:21.769
I don't, I, I don't think so.

00:33:22.129 --> 00:33:22.969
What do you think?

00:33:23.029 --> 00:33:24.139
Am I missing something?

00:33:24.379 --> 00:33:26.209
I think the demo site's really important.

00:33:26.209 --> 00:33:27.739
And can I have a quick segue here?

00:33:28.339 --> 00:33:28.879
Okay, please.

00:33:29.029 --> 00:33:33.649
So this is a little embarrassing,
but I think I told you I've started

00:33:33.649 --> 00:33:35.599
following Gary V on the internet.

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.409
Oh, wow.

00:33:36.469 --> 00:33:36.889
Yeah.

00:33:36.889 --> 00:33:37.249
Okay.

00:33:37.699 --> 00:33:38.119
Wow.

00:33:38.329 --> 00:33:39.409
And I know it's a look.

00:33:39.409 --> 00:33:39.889
I'm excited.

00:33:39.889 --> 00:33:42.859
I have no idea where this is going,
but I know it's gonna be great.

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:43.759
So please continue.

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.759
So he had this post the other day.

00:33:47.284 --> 00:33:48.964
And it was this concept of time.

00:33:49.174 --> 00:33:51.294
And his argument was as humans.

00:33:51.724 --> 00:33:53.974
Our number one failing is we Don.

00:33:55.254 --> 00:33:57.064
Properly think of time.

00:33:57.064 --> 00:34:00.154
Like we don't think of time in
the proper context and okay.

00:34:00.574 --> 00:34:05.734
His point was he's 45, I think so
older than both of us, obviously.

00:34:06.154 --> 00:34:11.344
Um, obviously, uh, but his point was so
people in their twenties or people who

00:34:11.344 --> 00:34:14.224
are trying to do something like they
just kill themselves and they think

00:34:14.224 --> 00:34:16.234
they have no time to do something.

00:34:16.234 --> 00:34:16.324
Okay.

00:34:16.654 --> 00:34:21.684
When really you could start a
second career at 45 and have 20.

00:34:22.289 --> 00:34:23.969
Years in that career.

00:34:24.299 --> 00:34:27.719
And so I feel like, so basically
like the post, the concept

00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:29.399
was like, you have more time.

00:34:29.764 --> 00:34:36.514
Then you think you do so use it wisely,
use it intelligently, still push as

00:34:36.514 --> 00:34:38.074
appropriate, but be smart about it.

00:34:38.404 --> 00:34:42.814
So that made me think of us because
okay, we are in a sprint, right.

00:34:42.814 --> 00:34:44.434
And I am happy to be in this sprint.

00:34:44.464 --> 00:34:46.564
That is where I want to be.

00:34:46.984 --> 00:34:51.214
But I feel like we are on the
cusp of like something great.

00:34:51.604 --> 00:34:53.734
And everyone keeps
telling us to move faster.

00:34:54.274 --> 00:34:58.024
They do  so everyone keeps
telling us to move faster.

00:34:58.354 --> 00:35:01.534
But I think if we're not
careful we could bundle it.

00:35:01.834 --> 00:35:02.164
Okay.

00:35:02.434 --> 00:35:03.034
Tell me more.

00:35:03.454 --> 00:35:06.244
So for example, this is a perfect example.

00:35:06.484 --> 00:35:09.274
Like we could launch on
product hunt Friday, right?

00:35:09.274 --> 00:35:13.264
Like, or whatever, we could go
really, really hard right now.

00:35:13.264 --> 00:35:17.554
But like, I think these little things,
like, yes, it's worth to wait two.

00:35:18.349 --> 00:35:20.899
To have a demo site,
same thing with rails.

00:35:20.899 --> 00:35:26.749
Like, yes, it's worth to wait a
month to have like, we've come so

00:35:26.749 --> 00:35:28.879
far and the product is so good.

00:35:29.269 --> 00:35:30.409
We gotta nail the landing.

00:35:30.499 --> 00:35:33.859
Like we don't wanna bundle it
now by pushing something out or

00:35:33.859 --> 00:35:36.049
doing a huge marketing push when.

00:35:36.644 --> 00:35:39.584
We're like 98% done.

00:35:39.944 --> 00:35:40.784
That's what I mean.

00:35:41.144 --> 00:35:42.134
I fully agree with that.

00:35:42.224 --> 00:35:42.794
Okay, cool.

00:35:43.124 --> 00:35:47.654
Yeah, I think there's a balance of course,
to be struck between waiting forever and.

00:35:48.439 --> 00:35:55.609
Right launching soon, but I do think,
um, I do think the, the point that

00:35:55.609 --> 00:36:01.189
we're aiming for is not, uh, asymptotic
like, it's not forever moving away

00:36:01.189 --> 00:36:03.619
from us there, like demo site.

00:36:03.649 --> 00:36:06.019
We just need to have, it's
a thing, the demo site.

00:36:06.109 --> 00:36:06.409
Right.

00:36:06.589 --> 00:36:07.579
And then we can.

00:36:07.964 --> 00:36:12.104
We can start expending some
of this marketing, um, energy.

00:36:12.494 --> 00:36:14.114
Um, yeah, that's really interesting.

00:36:14.114 --> 00:36:15.164
I it's funny you say that.

00:36:15.164 --> 00:36:18.794
Cause I do feel like everyone's always
saying like, go faster, just do it.

00:36:18.794 --> 00:36:20.624
Like just release it right now.

00:36:20.624 --> 00:36:22.034
What's the worst that could happen.

00:36:22.394 --> 00:36:27.464
It's like, I mean probably nothing
bad, but it would be better and

00:36:27.734 --> 00:36:30.614
I would feel better about it.

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:34.449
If we were like ready to launch
when it was time to launch.

00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:35.049
Yeah.

00:36:35.049 --> 00:36:37.059
And I, I think absolutely
there's a balance.

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:41.859
And of course that is excellent advice
because we do need to launch something.

00:36:41.859 --> 00:36:43.899
I mean, we have, it's launched,
like you can buy it now.

00:36:43.929 --> 00:36:44.289
Yeah.

00:36:44.589 --> 00:36:46.569
But I, I, I do think it's worth it.

00:36:46.569 --> 00:36:51.309
Like here we are so close to being
ready to do all these things.

00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.639
If it takes a couple more weeks to
have a demo site, like I think that

00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:57.699
kind of stuff is worth it because yeah.

00:36:57.699 --> 00:36:59.259
Like I said, you don't
wanna botch the landing.

00:36:59.289 --> 00:36:59.799
You've come this.

00:37:00.154 --> 00:37:00.244
Right.

00:37:01.054 --> 00:37:03.274
And I really feel like hammer
stone is just such a different

00:37:03.274 --> 00:37:06.064
product because it's so good.

00:37:06.334 --> 00:37:08.074
And I could say that cuz
I have another product

00:37:11.259 --> 00:37:12.304
that I launched early.

00:37:13.204 --> 00:37:16.534
Yeah, I think it's yeah, I
think, um, I, I agree with that.

00:37:16.919 --> 00:37:21.149
and I think if there's any criticism,
it's that the product is too good

00:37:21.299 --> 00:37:23.849
and the marketing is too anemic.

00:37:24.179 --> 00:37:24.419
Yeah.

00:37:24.449 --> 00:37:27.629
So I think that, and, and that's what
we're trying to, you know, correct.

00:37:27.629 --> 00:37:28.379
Right now.

00:37:28.409 --> 00:37:33.869
It's like, let's, let's get the marketing
assets ready because you'll, as you

00:37:33.869 --> 00:37:36.509
heard, I don't think there's anything
technical that needs to be done.

00:37:36.689 --> 00:37:36.809
Yeah.

00:37:36.809 --> 00:37:40.619
Like on my side, I, I, I don't think
any of the product needs to be touched.

00:37:41.499 --> 00:37:45.069
Frankly, it hasn't been touched
in a month or two because I don't

00:37:45.069 --> 00:37:46.329
think there's anything there.

00:37:46.689 --> 00:37:52.179
Um, and so now it's like the thing
that needs to be done is just

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:55.089
these very basic marketing things.

00:37:55.089 --> 00:37:58.809
And then we can push for real, which
is not to say that we haven't been.

00:37:59.444 --> 00:38:02.114
Trying to do the one on one sales stuff.

00:38:02.504 --> 00:38:04.604
I think that's been going
pretty well by the way.

00:38:04.604 --> 00:38:09.994
Like I think so feel I have, so with
the rails founding customers two,

00:38:10.524 --> 00:38:16.034
three, um, and I feel like that's
been going pretty well, and I'm pretty

00:38:16.034 --> 00:38:19.064
happy with that because I still feel
like, like I've said, we have some

00:38:19.064 --> 00:38:22.424
iterations with this stimulus, like
how much we wanna ship, what kind

00:38:22.424 --> 00:38:23.834
of rappers we wanna ship with it.

00:38:24.194 --> 00:38:25.724
Um, so I'm feeling pretty good about.

00:38:26.254 --> 00:38:26.764
I agree.

00:38:26.974 --> 00:38:27.264
Okay.

00:38:27.269 --> 00:38:28.564
So I think we're in a good spot.

00:38:28.864 --> 00:38:31.984
I'm glad you don't feel the
need to get it out today.

00:38:32.254 --> 00:38:37.864
Um, I think we both, we both have a sense
of, I think we both have the sense of

00:38:37.864 --> 00:38:43.084
urgency and so we don't need to be pushing
towards urgency cuz that's where we are.

00:38:43.204 --> 00:38:43.564
Yeah.

00:38:43.924 --> 00:38:45.154
Already agree.

00:38:45.454 --> 00:38:48.664
So demo site, what's your,
what's your timeline on that?

00:38:49.084 --> 00:38:49.744
Um, I don't.

00:38:50.379 --> 00:38:56.139
I mean, I think I could probably get that
done and I need to find a source for data.

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.179
Like I need to find a
compelling source for data.

00:38:58.179 --> 00:38:58.659
I could.

00:38:59.494 --> 00:39:01.454
Like the, my SQL sample database.

00:39:01.954 --> 00:39:05.704
Um, I could probably grab like
a, I think there's some open data

00:39:05.704 --> 00:39:09.844
sets for like, like movies, books,
authors, that sort of stuff.

00:39:09.934 --> 00:39:12.754
Um, so I need to find data.

00:39:12.784 --> 00:39:15.814
I need to make a new
Elle app pull refine in.

00:39:16.054 --> 00:39:18.214
I, I really don't think
it'll take that long.

00:39:18.454 --> 00:39:18.574
Okay.

00:39:18.664 --> 00:39:22.884
Um, and I guess we could host it on
vapor, which is Elle's thing, cuz.

00:39:23.269 --> 00:39:25.369
The main site is already hosted on vapor.

00:39:25.729 --> 00:39:31.069
Um, that may be, that may be
my, like my thing for next week.

00:39:31.309 --> 00:39:31.609
Okay.

00:39:32.029 --> 00:39:36.559
Um, cuz there's a little bit of like bonus
work around it in that I'm going to try

00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:39.529
to like learn how to stream along the way.

00:39:39.854 --> 00:39:40.124
Right.

00:39:40.184 --> 00:39:43.154
Um, and so that adds, you know, 15%.

00:39:43.244 --> 00:39:46.334
Um, but yeah, I'll do,
I'll do that for next week.

00:39:46.394 --> 00:39:48.104
That'll be my thing for next week.

00:39:48.494 --> 00:39:48.644
Okay.

00:39:48.649 --> 00:39:51.314
Do you have strong opinions on
anything about the demo site?

00:39:51.314 --> 00:39:53.584
I mean, it's gonna be pretty,
it's gonna be pretty basic.

00:39:54.254 --> 00:39:56.204
Um, I think it should look good.

00:39:56.564 --> 00:39:56.864
Yeah.

00:39:56.869 --> 00:39:58.514
It'll look, you know, tail windy.

00:39:58.724 --> 00:39:58.814
Yeah.

00:39:58.814 --> 00:40:01.694
But it's not gonna be, it's
not gonna be much beyond like

00:40:01.694 --> 00:40:03.674
filtering . Yeah, that's fine.

00:40:03.674 --> 00:40:04.814
I think people are people.

00:40:04.814 --> 00:40:04.844
Okay.

00:40:04.849 --> 00:40:06.884
You're gonna, are you gonna set
it up in such a way that people

00:40:06.884 --> 00:40:08.744
can like edit the filters and see.

00:40:09.114 --> 00:40:11.064
What happens when they edit the filters?

00:40:11.304 --> 00:40:12.204
I think you're muted.

00:40:12.624 --> 00:40:14.784
Oh, you mean edit the, like the PHP?

00:40:14.784 --> 00:40:14.984
Yeah.

00:40:14.989 --> 00:40:16.044
Like the filter itself.

00:40:16.434 --> 00:40:16.644
Ooh.

00:40:17.334 --> 00:40:18.054
Oh, okay.

00:40:18.054 --> 00:40:18.834
No is fine.

00:40:19.424 --> 00:40:26.024
I wasn't should I  um, not if it adds, you
know, another week to your not to start.

00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:28.999
That was kind of what I've been
thinking though, is it would be pretty

00:40:28.999 --> 00:40:32.269
cool if people could see like how to
edit filters and like actually build

00:40:32.269 --> 00:40:33.829
out new filters and things like that.

00:40:33.859 --> 00:40:34.149
Yeah.

00:40:34.149 --> 00:40:36.199
I mean, that would be extremely cool.

00:40:36.729 --> 00:40:37.969
Um Hmm.

00:40:37.999 --> 00:40:42.079
But, but, but I think any
demo site is good right now.

00:40:42.604 --> 00:40:43.864
I think that's a quagmire.

00:40:43.954 --> 00:40:44.254
Okay.

00:40:44.644 --> 00:40:49.424
I think live, live editing
PHP files in a sandbox.

00:40:49.834 --> 00:40:51.124
And let me think about that.

00:40:51.129 --> 00:40:52.414
There may be some work arounds.

00:40:52.414 --> 00:40:56.854
I know that there's a, I know that
there are a few Lael playgrounds online

00:40:56.854 --> 00:40:59.644
that could do that sort of thing,
but that, that may be a quagmire.

00:40:59.649 --> 00:41:00.664
That's not worth it right now.

00:41:00.669 --> 00:41:00.864
Okay.

00:41:00.874 --> 00:41:01.144
Yeah.

00:41:01.144 --> 00:41:02.764
I, I do not think it's worth it.

00:41:02.764 --> 00:41:03.844
If it's gonna delay you.

00:41:04.414 --> 00:41:06.634
Okay, then we'll say no, cuz
it would definitely delight me.

00:41:06.664 --> 00:41:06.904
Okay.

00:41:06.904 --> 00:41:07.714
Let's say no then.

00:41:07.774 --> 00:41:08.074
Yeah.

00:41:08.104 --> 00:41:09.214
Cuz I'd like to get that.

00:41:09.214 --> 00:41:11.344
I think we would need to get that
up and then we can start doing

00:41:11.344 --> 00:41:13.864
some of this marketing stuff
and that'll, that'll be good.

00:41:14.254 --> 00:41:15.604
Um, cool idea though.

00:41:15.994 --> 00:41:16.804
That'd be pretty awesome.

00:41:17.164 --> 00:41:20.704
Speaking of demo sites, are you,
are you planning on doing one?

00:41:20.914 --> 00:41:21.334
Yes.

00:41:21.334 --> 00:41:22.834
So I've been thinking about the demo site.

00:41:23.254 --> 00:41:25.774
I actually thought it's interesting.

00:41:25.774 --> 00:41:27.124
I'm glad we're talking about this.

00:41:28.204 --> 00:41:30.154
I can get bullet train set up.

00:41:30.184 --> 00:41:31.594
You can open it with GI PODD.

00:41:31.894 --> 00:41:36.284
And I had thought, it'd be cool
to let people edit the filter so

00:41:36.694 --> 00:41:38.284
they could see how that works.

00:41:38.284 --> 00:41:43.054
And since bullet train is now open source,
we could put our package in there and

00:41:43.054 --> 00:41:44.824
kind of what I had built for the workshop.

00:41:44.824 --> 00:41:48.754
I mean, that was the reason I spent so
much time building that workshop, right.

00:41:49.054 --> 00:41:50.884
Is because I want to.

00:41:51.704 --> 00:41:56.384
Essentially what I built for the workshop
and turn it into like a demo playground.

00:41:56.714 --> 00:42:01.724
Mm-hmm . So with GI PODD bullet train,
um, a few things I need, I think, to make

00:42:01.724 --> 00:42:03.944
that better data, that's a good call.

00:42:04.184 --> 00:42:10.604
Mm-hmm  and the UI is kind of, eh, you
saw it, like, I'm not really happy with

00:42:10.604 --> 00:42:12.434
the UI right now, and it's not our UI.

00:42:12.974 --> 00:42:14.834
It's the bullet train UI that sits on top.

00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:18.469
The filter, but like the filter
buttons in a weird place.

00:42:18.469 --> 00:42:20.049
And I only put it on one page.

00:42:20.749 --> 00:42:25.069
So my thought had actually
been to do that first.

00:42:25.279 --> 00:42:30.049
That's that being the get pod pod, the
get PODD bullet train integration first.

00:42:30.289 --> 00:42:31.879
Yeah, I think that sounds great.

00:42:32.029 --> 00:42:34.049
I mean, you're already so
close, so that's right.

00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:34.689
Even better.

00:42:35.269 --> 00:42:36.589
It's so close to being done.

00:42:36.589 --> 00:42:42.679
So all I need to do is get it set up on
a standalone repo, host it, um, get some

00:42:42.684 --> 00:42:44.359
real data in there and clean up the UI.

00:42:45.144 --> 00:42:48.324
And once we have validations,
I think that's a playground.

00:42:48.324 --> 00:42:50.694
At least I think we also need a demo site.

00:42:51.294 --> 00:42:54.354
Probably let's see how this
plays out, but what you can do,

00:42:54.354 --> 00:42:55.794
what I can do is I can, okay.

00:42:55.794 --> 00:42:58.974
So I can have the demo site
and then, oh, this is it.

00:42:59.064 --> 00:43:03.414
This is just the, tell me you have the
demo site and then you have a link.

00:43:04.044 --> 00:43:08.274
To the repo that you can open with GI
PODD that you can edit and play with.

00:43:08.724 --> 00:43:09.624
That sounds pretty good.

00:43:09.684 --> 00:43:10.284
That's the move.

00:43:10.584 --> 00:43:11.694
So I like that.

00:43:11.754 --> 00:43:12.054
Yeah.

00:43:12.054 --> 00:43:16.164
Just something like, I feel like with
demo sites, like some kind of interesting

00:43:16.164 --> 00:43:19.944
data, you were just talking about this,
but yeah, it'd be fun to have like

00:43:19.944 --> 00:43:21.774
something funny or something like.

00:43:22.359 --> 00:43:24.819
Just more entertaining than right.

00:43:25.149 --> 00:43:29.979
Like we should, but it also has
to have relationships and right.

00:43:30.219 --> 00:43:30.729
Yeah.

00:43:30.949 --> 00:43:34.359
So yeah, there's, there are plenty
of open data sources we could use.

00:43:34.389 --> 00:43:34.689
Yeah.

00:43:34.689 --> 00:43:35.979
I think we should give that a sec.

00:43:35.979 --> 00:43:38.049
Let me, well, you're gonna do
yours first because you're gonna

00:43:38.054 --> 00:43:39.129
start working on it this week.

00:43:39.129 --> 00:43:40.389
So let me know what you decide on.

00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:40.969
Okay.

00:43:41.649 --> 00:43:45.249
But I think we can have a little fun
there and, um, and that can be cool.

00:43:45.579 --> 00:43:45.999
Yeah.

00:43:46.149 --> 00:43:47.019
I think that's gonna be great.

00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:48.819
Anything else?

00:43:49.549 --> 00:43:49.839
Okay.

00:43:50.109 --> 00:43:50.889
We'll call it there.

00:43:52.100 --> 00:43:52.430
Huge.

00:43:52.430 --> 00:43:53.750
Thanks to all of our listeners.

00:43:53.750 --> 00:43:56.090
Who've become software
socialites and support our show.

00:43:56.390 --> 00:43:59.660
