If you held a grain of sand up to the sky at arm’s length, that tiny speck is the size of Webb’s view in this image. Imagine — galaxies galore within a grain, including light from galaxies that traveled billions of years to us!

The number of people joining Shopify RnD *today* alone is greater than the size of the RnD team when I joined 6 years ago 🤯. To my ~300 new colleagues: Welcome! 🚀

If you're looking for an engineering manager, hire Kim! She's awesome.

@jeremycole I really really miss sitting with everyone in Twister on the 14th floor, watching dashboards. Also miss how the most innocuous “uh..” would cause everyone to freak out 😂

Wishing my former Shopify colleagues all the best for BFCM - you’ve got this!!

Back to work today after my first full month holiday in 30 years. Now I understand what my European friends have been going on about. Month-long summer vacations are something I could get used to!

@kmcphillips @AnnieCodes I've done the first half of that drive with toddlers. You need to burn kids energy at every stop. Most towns have a school playground, and hotels with a pool are ideal. Good luck and enjoy!

@jayjaybillings @irbull Just wait till you see the preferences API 😉

My career has come full circle. My current team at work is building a platform featuring extensions, extension points, and components. I could have said the same thing 20 years ago 😂

Customizing Shopify Checkout is easier with checkout extensions, which give devs the ability to build apps directly into Checkout - now across all Shopify stores. You can seamlessly and securely power everything from server side business logic to UI changes within Checkout.

@wvanbergen @Shopify @tobi Thanks for being my lead and guide in my first years at Shopify, I learned so much from you! Look forward to following your future adventures ♥️

Some Shopify colleagues bought 40K N95 masks from @masks4allCanada and donated them to essential works in Ontario Covid hotspots. The demand is far greater so they are raising funds for a second batch. A great way to contribute directly where it's needed! gofund.me/ddacdeb1

@Jahfer If it's open you can go there. Fine print: files.ontario.ca/solgen_oreg265…

Hold on...if you’re not allowed to leave your house except for essential reasons (grocery, pharmacy, medical), are you not allowed to pick up items at a retail store offering curbside pickup? Are those businesses being forced to close?

@nedgar I think that's US Gov't withholding tax? That is 15% rate due to Canada-US tax treaty.

Nice biz. Morgan Stanley pirates scraping 15% off automatic dividend reinvestments.

@irbull @jmwind If it's for a whole class of students making stores there is a program for this which is all free: shopify.com/open-learning

@jmwind @jarthorne Does Shopify have anything for young entrepreneur @ school? My daughter's grade 6 class is running an entrepreneur fair, but Covid makes that hard. I was wondering about an on-line -- ideally "private" store they could share with friends, family & school?

@nedgar @OntarioOpen @OurWorldInData There is a good Canadian aggregate tracker here.. It uses regional health unit data for Ontario because the provincial data are delayed: covid19tracker.ca

Oh, so Ontario vaccination rollout data *is* available on @OntarioOpen: data.ontario.ca/dataset/covid-…
It’s just under Treasury for some reason 🤔. 159k doses administered so far. Found via @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinat…
Nick Edgar@nedgar
@JohnFraserOS @fordnation Vaccine distribution and actual vaccination progress should be published as open data, updated frequently. There’s even a category for it on the @OntarioOpen portal, albeit empty! data.ontario.ca/en/dataset/vac… /cc @go_opendata

@burkelibbey If you haven't already, I suggest checking out the 2020 Massey Lecture which is exactly on this topic. Weaponization of both attention and data, and the feedback loops and biz models that feed into/off it. It's a fascinating unpacking of these problems cbc.ca/radio/ideas/20…

The team had way too much fun with d3, three, and glsl shaders. Enjoy the big upgrade to the #bfcm2020 live orders map by @ShopifyEng.
