The thing no one prepares you for is that if you have a pre-teen girl you will one day find yourself in a garage/hot topic/urban planet back to school shopping nightmare on a Thursday night.

Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.
But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?
We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.
We call it Quick 👇🧵

Bedtime tuck-ins is definitely the time to explain: property taxes, our healthcare system, hospital triaging, condo fees, rental insurance, the diff between the liberal and conservative parties, and why you can’t play truth or dare with Alexa (nor ask her to play gunshot noises).

As I turned around to say sorry to the door I accidentally walked into it became clear…we can’t become the 51st state. Sorry (but not actually).

ER doc here. This is a tragic death. Based on the information available, a 6 hour wait for MD evaluation is unacceptable. We know those who leave ER without being seen by an MD are a high-risk group - and we do not blame them. - 1/9

The most important story of every business is the one about _why_ it exists. Pulling this story out of a business is hard to do well. I challenged our team to try anyway and I love what they came back with.
*This* is why Shopify exists.

Shopify deleted 12,000 meetings this year.
Today, they went a step further with a tool that shows the $$$ cost of holding meetings.
I spoke to @nejatian (Shopify's COO) about meeting bloat and protecting craft time.
Here are 6 spicy takes from our interview 👇
