Editions from all angles here: @tobi & @vlaurenlee - birds eye product-wide view ++ @MParakhin - the engineering feats behind it all @harleyf - how merchants can use it _today_ @Drewch - Sidekick's blistering pace of evolution @carlrivera & @maggiefost - the design (and beauty) of today's launch

@immike_wing i'm still such a fan of whatever it is your brand is hahaha

went to new york to eat 17 hotdogs and make apps what a life

@Drewch lmao

You gotta do what you gotta do to make sure your partner doesn’t get home from EMS shift at 2am and close laptop stopping your auto research agents.

@nejatian kaz it's not hidden if you tweet about it

I’m working from our Toronto office today. There is a hidden joy in walking around a big city downtown listening to country music on your AirPods.

@TedMerz “Handwrite three paragraphs in realtime, while blindfolded”

Writing ability is still one of the most important skills to have To test for that, I used to ask people to write something for me. But now, to make sure they’re good writers and not only good prompters, I find it helpful to also: 1) ask them to explain a concept extemporaneously (strong rhetoric and lucidity typically translate to clear writing, though not always the other way around) 2) look at writing samples from before 2023

awesome panel ft @Drewch talking about agents and automation at U of T’s Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus. seeing how ppl respond to @shopify’s stance on AI never gets old 🙌

@chrislevan @socraticainfo Seeeeee you there!!!

who's going to @socraticainfo next week? want to meet some folks!

@MParakhin Classic

I'm a bit of a non-conformist. Since Claude Code is more popular within Shopify, I have to use Codex, of course. So, my Sunday routine is: "Start Codex, see which auth works in Claude, but broken in Codex now, Slack various team members, urging them to fix it" :-)

@tobi @dirceu always an apprentice 🙌

OK this thing is totally insane. Before going to bed I... * used try to make a new qmdresearcher directory * told my pi to read this github repo and make a version of that for the qmd query-expansion model with the goal of highest quality score and speed. Get training data from tobi/qmd github. * woke up to +19% score on a 0.8b model (higher than previous 1.6b) after 8 hours and 37 experiments. I'm not a ML researcher of course. I'm sure way more sophisticated stuff is being done by real researchers. But its mesmerizing to just read it reasoning its way through the experiments. I learned more from that than months of following ml researchers. I just asked it to also make a new reranker and its already got higher base than the previous one. Incredible.

@zedkay22 @fnthawar 😂
