Claude Fable 5.2's been my daily model for the last few weeks and I've been really impressed at how well it can scope work for itself. Once it's got a plan that you're both happy with, you can really, actually trust it to complete the task autonomously now!

Diet Coke was a stimulant used by a priestly caste of the middle period United States called Post-Training Researcher in order to commune with The Run. [1]

I love seeing so many folks build with tools we’ve built!
When we launched Canvas, I said I couldn't wait to see what everyone would make. Wow, did they deliver. More than 2,500 Canvas stores are already live. Here are a few of my favourites, with links in the thread. shopify.com/editions/fall202…

It’s been really fun spending these last 6 months working on Canvas and Sidekick, and great to celebrate everything we’ve done for merchants in these love letters to the web.
The new Edition drops today. It’s a magical time to build. Hope this Edition shows how much fun we’re having. shopify.com/editions/fall202…

founders like this should be your investment thesis
there is a certain personality type which will play Civilization or Factorio 14 hours a day pausing only to sleep and microwave food. this type can be absurdly economically productive if you can take the games away, give him a job, and get him to think of it as a videogame

The team has really outdone themselves. Canvas is so much fun. Never imagined we would be able to make online store design so fun and democratized when we started. And it’s all still powered by liquid!
When I built @kotn’s first store 12 years ago, I knew how to code and it still took me two weeks just to get to something OK, years to get to something I liked. We built the tool I wish I had back then. Here’s Canvas.

Had a chance to play around with this and the possibilities are endless! Don't limit yourself to static pages either, Canvas can handle more complex things like this 3D globe that shows what countries our retailers operate in 🤯

Shopify wants more beauty on the web. That’s why we over-invest in things like Editions. The same ambition shaped Canvas. AI makes it easy to generate more of the same, so we spent a great deal of time guiding Sidekick to make good design decisions while giving you room to make something distinctly yours. Meet Canvas. Jump in and start designing.

This is a totally new level for storefront design. Super excited for you all to try it.

I don't want a "dot." I don't want a "muse." I want a scheming Chinese eunuch. I want a silver-tongued, unctuous vizier who says "most judicious, sire."

I’m not saying we’re in an eval. I’m not. But if we were, hypothetically, what do we think the Scorer wants?
