Local machines had become a bottleneck for agentic mobile development at @Shopify, so we gave agents their own remote dev environments. They now author 61% of our merged PRs 🧵
I have been writing code professionally for over 20 years and I have yet to successfully write an AppleScript.
Even AI assistants are flummoxed.
Truly a read-only language.

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/…
My @BoschGlobal dishwasher is using push notifications to nag me into doing a load of dishes with its crappy app. What growth PM dreamed this up?

As someone who built a sports app for the better part of a decade, I can authoritatively say that the new Apple Sports app is hot garbage juice: 9to5mac.com/2024/02/21/apple…

Today we are releasing a major piece of hardware: POS Terminal.
This is a powerful countertop payment device that addresses two key things our merchants have been asking for:
1. More options for connectivity: WiFi and Ethernet so that merchants can handle their busiest sales days on Shopify.
2. Full-featured customer display that gives customers transparency, a smooth & fast checkout that is also fully customizable so merchants can create a fully branded moment at the counter.
This hardware is absolutely critical to making the in-store experience seamless and convenient for customers as we move into the busiest retail holiday season where both foot traffic and transaction volumes will peak.

I’ve started a new company - Unblocked
We’re eliminating the countless hours developers spend in meetings, dealing with interruptions and searching for documents as they look for answers to questions about their codebase.
The details and motivation here: getunblocked.com/blog/get-un…

AR is an incredible tool but right now, creating a 3D model is complicated, timely, expensive and not practical for many brands. We’re changing that @Shopify.
Today, with the release of #iOS17, we’re making it possible for all our merchants to create 3D models from the palm of their hand in under 20 mins 🤳
No more expensive gear, agency meetings, or long wait times. All you need is:
- Good lighting
- A place where you are able to walk around your product 360 degrees
- An iPhone Pro, using iOS 17 and the latest version of the @Shopify app
This is major. Just another way to create interactive buying experiences for your customers. @Shopify is just getting started in spatial commerce.
Hey @ServiceOntario, should a government agency that handles sensitive personal information and documents be using a Hotmail address?
This but for FIFA commentary pls

Shopify is the best-converting platform in the 🌎. Period. And… we can prove it.
Today, we're sharing results from a Big Three global management consulting firm, and the data speaks for itself: "Shopify converts up to 36% better than the competition and 15% more on average"
Not building with Shopify is now a competitive liability.
