Went on @BBCWorld Radio this week to talk about relationships at work, and ended up just talking about culture: bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cswjz…

Starting this week, millions of @Shopify merchants can sell in ChatGPT, into the US. Their PDP, their checkout, their customizations, no extra setup. AI is a new front door to commerce. Shopify is what’s behind it everywhere.

This is wrong imho. AI works as a multiplier, not an equalizer. Output scales with baseline, so the gap between great and "solid" engineers is getting insane now, making the need for 10x engineers greater than ever before. The future looks like small teams of 3 or 4 10x engineers.
Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone. Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation. "I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody. It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code." --- From @theallinpod YT channel (link in comment)

A order on @SaltandSundry just tipped Shopify over the 1 trillion(!) in cumulative GMV. Monumental milestone for us. A beautiful small business run by Amanda McClemens in DC. Couldn't have been a better example of what makes Shopify special: shopsaltandsundry.com/pages/…

🚨 SPOTTED ShopPay on a non-Shopify website! Everlane's site is built on a homegrown CMS & now has ShopPay. ShopPay + Shopify's credibility amongst enterprise co’s will be the death of every single 1-click checkout business. This will be... fast! Nice work @harleyf 😉

Using AI, I was able to take some old painting and make it better. First the painting. Notice how you can barely see what's even going on. Where even is this? Who are the people? Huh? You're too far away to really see the setup. Whole left side blank. Nothing here to grab onto.

A friend built one of the first @shop mini integrations and gave me a preview. Really impressive work by the Shop Mini team, it's quick, responsive, and most importantly, improves the shopping experience. Excited to see where Shopify takes the app inside app experience.
