Wrote about our hack days project: a better home for musicians' music on @Shopify .
It's such an important time to give artists tools to share their art and own their communities, grateful for a culture that makes space to chase that.

New in the Dev Platform:
Safer CLI deploys
• New flags give you granular control, so you don't accidentally delete extensions
Analyze your UI extension bundle size
• CLI builds now include an esbuild metafile, so you can see what's taking up space
Refreshed Admin UI and App Home docs
• Better examples, clearer descriptions, and easier to find what you need
Latest shopify cli version now emits esbuild metafiles when building UI extensions.
You can just drag 'n drop these from the extension's dist/ folder straight into esbuild.github.io/analyze/ to learn which dependencies impact bundle size most.

If your extension is on a version older than 2025-10, you'll likely find a large react-reconciler in there. 👀
You can rid of that and improve performance by upgrading and using preact.

was chatting with @bennydotevents yesterday, and he asked me:
how do we make the Shopify app ecosystem / community even better and healthier for devs, merchants, shopifolk and everyone in between?
what do u all think? what are the most important problems to solve
“Choose boring technology” paying off big time.
Replying to @ArtemR
Delta, United, American Airlines flights are all grounded right now.
The reason Southwest is not affected is because they still run on Windows 3.1.

I've been writing code for 30 years, today I code circles around my 21 year old self. AI does the boring things, my brain has cycles for the hard stuff.
AI won't take your dev job, devs who use AI like pros will.
Just realized that the first @jsunconf took place more than a decade ago. 👴
The unconf series will forever have a special place in my heart.
They are scrappy, non profit, done by the community for the community and just a great place to hang out with amazing folks.
And I want to explicitly include all the other amazing unconfs like @phpunconference and @RubyUnconfEU that came before and after as well.

Thank you for this! 🫶 We are still looking for more sponsors at the Ruby Unconf in Hamburg! If you would like to sponsor us, or you know someone who might, please reach out to @jan_z1993 or DM this account 🩷
Programmers tend to engage selectively with an event organizer's content on Twitter. They're quick to like or retweet intriguing topics slated for a conference, yet show less interest when organizers discuss sponsorships.
Remember, sponsorships are crucial for the success of the events we're invested in. As Ruby and Rails developers, amplifying event visibility is the least we can do. Liking and retweeting is a simple, impactful gesture that supports our community.
Let's rally behind calls for sponsorships from @rails, @BalkanRuby, @wrocloverb, @railsconf, @helvetic_ruby, @blueridgeruby, @rubyforgood, @rubydayit, @rubyunconfeu, @balticruby, @brightonruby, @reddotrubyconf, @ruby_african, @madisonruby, @railscamp_usa, @euruko, @friendlyrb, @rmrubyconf, @rubyfuza, @kaigionrails, @rubyconf, @rubyconf_au, @tropical_rb, @visualitypl, @rubybelgium, @rubyconftw, @kaigionrails and countless other fantastic Ruby and Rails events. They are the backbone of our community!
