So grateful to Shopify for the Build Award. None of this even feels real! And even more incredible was the time I got to spend with amazing people this week. @ShopDevAlliance is a real community where lifelong relationships are being formed. I get to learn, build, and grow with some of the best there is. Grateful to Shopify for hosting an annual in-person event that gives us all the perfect excuse to meet in real life. None of this is possible without Shopify and the amazing people that make up the developer community. It’s a team effort. Culture and community are crafted but the right people still have to show up. And it’s nothing short of amazing when they do.

@wbelk But the vibes!

AI devs are stuck in quality control hell, the closer the finish line seems, the more the quality issues show Without hardcore automation and tooling, these AI coders are pure illusory garbage Their gaps in quality and reasoning are unbelievable

@alashik143 You mean you purchased 150+ premium theme licenses or you’re trying to resell themes?

I had a question to ask : I have 150+ premium Shopify themes is it still sellable nowadays ?

@fnthawar Feel like Gemini has taken a quality nosedive lately and have been trying out ChatGPT again. Didn’t care for codex when I tried it but smart people using it and working in it, so I need to try again. Claude is consistently good. Even when it’s been nerfed it still shows up.

Current personal AI stack * Gemini: $20/month - daily driver and the most used chat client for me on desktop/mobile * Claude Code: $200/month — ran out at $20/month - writing code, building apps * OpenAI: $20/month - main LLM for my OpenClaw, building with Codex app

@levelsio @grok Yeah but then I don’t have to deal with AWS…

Resend is literally just SES with a 500% markup @grok fact check

@KettlebellDan I don’t have a limit. I make it at home 95% of the time and when I’m out and really want it I buy it.

My coffee limit is $5. Anything more than that and I’m making it at home

@jivanhubbard Nice dude! Enjoy!

Starting today, I'm officially on sabbatical through the end of the month. If you didn't know, Helium offers a 4 week paid sabbatical after 4 years. So stoked to make progress on my house build, hang with fam, and time to write music.

Get it wherever you get your podcasts but here’s the YouTube at least 😬 youtu.be/waoQTwzgdck?si…

Totally missed posting about it yesterday but @kmeister2000 and I’s episode with @AlfalfaAnne dropped yesterday! We chat about Anne’s new podcast with @dear_trudence, @brendamarienyc, and @im__drb along with awesome community stuff she’s doing and then of course Shopify theme dev opinions like uptake on theme blocks and design systems in themes.

@nomisp_dev @arvidkahl O yeah I'm not burning tokens on stuff I can quickly sus out lol 🤣 I have more trouble trying to tell chatgpt to stop using emojis it's ridiculous. Why I rarely use it. Have only just picked it up again because people saying it's great but 🤷‍♂️

@TRPage_dev @arvidkahl I think it's the context that matters 😅 if you're in support or on a social platform, seeing a fully robot reply that took no personal touch at all is super annoying. Just pumping out crap after crap. But using it as a tool for your own work and voice, absolutely, crazy not to

Accusing people of using AI because of em-dashes is one of the highest-impact trolling you can do. Triggers _everyone_. Age of AI is wild.

@jamesqquick O wow might actually keep my sub now

If that’s real I might need it…

Because I don't get to talk about Shopify and Metaobjects enough

For folks coming to DotDev - it's your last day to submit a talk, if you want to submit an idea make sure you send it in here by EOD: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@SammyIsseyegh Bro...

Today I learned that our app store partner slug...is... 'Optimise bros' How embarrassing 😆

@benjaminsehl @LiquidWeekly @AlfalfaAnne @kmeister2000 Every time…

@TRPage_dev @LiquidWeekly @AlfalfaAnne @kmeister2000 Ok I gotta listen to this

Y'all can have a SNIPPET of this @LiquidWeekly Podcast just because Dennis asked for it but I can't drop the whole thing 😉 Shopify WILL be up soon 🙏 I bash on theme blocks a bit here but @AlfalfaAnne keeps me grounded. @kmeister2000 is just happy we're not bashing Rails...

@MurmeltierS Yeah - weird. Like if someone else initiated it, I would assume someone was trying to get into my account? Of course, the spam button is right next to delete lol and I have definitely accidentally hit it before trying to delete a message and had to Undo real quick.

@TRPage_dev I mean, if someone else initiated it? Still…

Well that's lame. Why would a user mark a reset your password email as spam? It's user-initiated...
