My view is that it’s probably the best time to learn coding because you will need less of it and produce increasingly more magic. Eventually “coding” will almost entirely be natural language, but you will still be programming. You will be paid for your creativity and ability to get things done with computers—not for esoteric knowledge of programming languages.

at the doorstep of the biggest computing tailwinds in history
surrounded by absolutely cracked and hungry builders & creatives from around the world
with a massive list of role models that shaped wave after wave of technology from this very place

This blog post from Shopify is a perfect example of a successful migration to Vitess.
The team was able to migrate billions of rows to Vitess while removing the burden of schema migrations and capacity issues.
"We are very happy with how Vitess has impacted our system."

.@Shopify’s Shop app, which launched earlier this year, is now the 35th most downloaded free app in the App Store. That’s above Google Photos, Uber Eats, Tinder and Reddit. 🤯

Tipping my hat to the @Shopify team for the flawless execution of Shop Pay and the Shop app. I find myself buying more things because of lower checkout friction and peace of mind of easy centralized tracking in the app. More merchants will use Shopify as a result of it.
