How to update the schedule "on the fly"

Go to the CodeLand Master Production spreadsheet. The columns delay_minutes & delay_seconds should be used in case we encounter any delays along the way.

Example:

The Live Speaker Panel with id 114 had some trouble getting started and we're now 3 minutes behind schedule. We should add a 3 minute delay to that row (simply set 3 to delay_minutes column). Logically this can be seen as "the block with id 114 introduced a 3 minute delay". This will cause all other talks downstream to update their times in cascade.

What next?

1. File > Download > .csv, current sheet
2. Rename the CSV file to schedule.csv and place it in this directory
3. Parse the CSV into JSON using the script ruby schedule_csv_to_json.rb
4. Copy schedule.json contents and edit the Codeland Schedule page in https://dev.to/internal/pages/163/edit
