how it started vs. how it’s going

What do you do when the two candidates for Prime Minister don't have a platform for the public to see? Make one in realtime, using their own words! Here's how we did it 👇

@aaron_wadler I designed the shelves! Thanks for the trip. I tried to push it across the entire brand in 2010.

Who else remembers when Shopify's App Store looked like this? 🙋 Kinda feels like discovering an old yearbook...

The Shopify alumni are building incredible companies but there's no place tracking them all. Let's fix that! Drop names of Shopify Mafia (Mounties? 🇨🇦) founded startups, brands and agencies below and I'll vibe code it into an open database. Who else should be on the list?

@nilo Simplii I use too, they make/made you mail something, so I never set it up - it’s called pre auth debit agreement - PAD - I think?

@markdunkley Ah interesting! I was wondering why I could do this through EQ Bank but not Simplii or RBC. I’ll reach out to my bank about this.

Still mindblown that the best way to transfer money between two of my bank accounts at different Canadian banks is to... write myself a cheque. <end of Canadian banking rant 216>

@tweethue 18 days to find a post office box.

@markdunkley That it is ready to be handed over to the carrier. Unfortunately, we don't have access to all order information for your region, this is why we suggested you contact the local support team. Thank you.

@tweethue Can I cancel order PHCA30000023516, it's not shipped and it's been at least 5 business days? Confirmation email says to click "return a product", but that link does't exist.

@tweethue What does processed for shipping mean?

@markdunkley 1/2 We did get back to you, saying that your order couldn't be cancelled because already processed for shipping. We understand it is taking longer than expected to receive your order, and we apologise for the inconvenience. There is a delay with orders from Canada at the moment.

@tweethue Is the item going to ship would be a good start? Ordered March 1st, it’s March 18. No communication, no estimates. Cancel the order by tomorrow please or I’m opening a dispute w/ cc. Last tweet you said you were getting back to me, you never did.

@markdunkley Do you have any questions, Mark? We can't cancel the order at this point. Once you receive it, you can return it. Depending on your country, you can also start the return procedure yourself on Hue website. Please let us know if you need any clarifications.

@tweethue ?

@markdunkley Hi Mark, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that you've been waiting for more than 5 business days. We've reached out to our colleagues and get back to you when we have a response.

@TaylorSicard @nilo I’m not sure any kind of hardware will help you close that +1s avg lap pace, perhaps more memory?

@markdunkley @nilo @tarkov Beyond a gaming PC what else do I need for iracing? I think my go-kart podiums will speak for themselves but I’d love to beat you again before I see you in February.

Timmy was indeed unlucky. Man, I love @tarkov so much.

@TaylorSicard @nilo @tarkov iRacing

@nilo @tarkov That’s good to know, I’ve been a bit bored with Warzone 2 and have been playing a lot of Valorant lately but would love a new game to sink some time into.

@atlasreject 💯

Excited to see $shop dropping and get those silver spoon alumni building again

@EricDewhirst @joshgosse sub 2013? I joined 2009 there was a dozen and in 2012 there was maybe 200?

@joshgosse @markdunkley When you guys talk about being early alum - how early is that? Just curious what the headcount number was when you started.

@joshgosse You can and I’d be jealous. I feel like life’s on cheat mode when you have shop options. I’ve turned off cheats and playing the game from level 1.

@markdunkley Why can’t we have both?

@marshal Definitely try VR before opening up that monitor. Far easier to race in VR, bigger sight lines/brake markers, easier to look around, and far more engaging.

I ordered: - Seat base + Sparco seat - 49” curved ultrawide - Fanatec DD1, wheel, and pedals

I just went hard into Sim Racing and ordered a whole setup. Do I know anyone that does sim racing? Would love to connect!

@theSamParr Ive got the same car, got fob wet surfing, and this worked for me: m.youtube.com/watch?v=WgZ4uA…

Update: keys were on my roof. Drove off. They fell off. We’re ran over. Stranded in Nashville until Mercedes gets me a new key which is wed. With my dog 80pound. Trying to fly to nyc and come back another time for car. Looking for fog friendly way to fly. What a day
