December 2025 (🤖) changed everything and caused Shopify app submissions to go way up. Review times got painful. We heard you.
We shipped a bunch of new tooling (👇). And, now, the review queue is shrinking. Still more work to do, but it's headed in the right direction 📉

@badlogicgames 20 years in startups and every boss I've had, had the same desk as everyone else

hi, i'm a sole proprietor/founder in Austria and i earn many many multiples of what i'd earn as an employee, despite "predatory income tax". in fact, i opt out of the many tax optimizations i could use because i like having good schools and as high a standard of living as possible for everyone.
the great thing about the EU is that you can just live under any tax regime you like in any of the 27 member states. it's all about trade offs. if poland works for you, fantastic! go build there.
and if i may add one more thing: if the CEO of a startup, especially pre-revenue, lives "barely any better than a regular employee" then the system works as intended. fact of the matter is most startups are bad. you are not special because you are trying out a shit idea and fail. but i'll happily pay taxes so you can try your shit idea, fail, and can still live.

In Austria, a CEO of a startup lives barely any better than a regular employed developer A former boss of mine (an exited founder) wanted to buy a new desk Instead of going to IKEA, she went to a site for used furniture and searched for one there, because it was much cheaper For my Eastern European mind, this is incomprehensible If you put years of your life into building a business and take on the risks, you should be rewarded accordingly You should definitely have enough money to go to a damn IKEA and buy the best possible desk there (and write it off in taxes later!) But this is not the case here The system is engineered for equality and social stability The monetary distance between employers and employees is minimal, thanks to predatory income taxes Great if you are an employee, soul-eating if you are a founder

@scottastevenson If it is a primary residence, it's a tax free gain.
As an investment. Bad.

Contrary to popular belief, Toronto condos haven’t been that great investment over the past 20 years, even before the downturn.
If you held a 1 bedroom condo from 2002 to 2022, you would have made about 6% per year. Factor in carrying costs and it’s 4% per year. Rent it out and you’re back to 6% per year.
S&P500 has historically returned 10%/year and is a lot more liquid and a lot less of a hassle.

Purpose built rentals in metro Vancouver are taking 6-9 months to get half full.
3-6 months later they are down to 30-40% occupancy.

The message at the @liberal_party Convention in Montreal was clear: Canada is open for business and we are attracting investments and signing trade agreements at speeds never seen before.

Every company that is paying for tokens should be capturing every trace. Every time work is done and you don't know how it was done, you are losing.

People who like sharing agent traces. I've just published all my pi-mono coding agent sessions on @huggingface so you get to laugh at or pwn me! huggingface.co/datasets/badlo… I suggest you do the same, see thread below. Let's make this a community effort. Here's pi-share-hf: github.com/badlogic/pi-sh… If you are working on tools that help identify PII/sensitive data, get in touch. The better the classification is, the more willing people will be to share their traces.

I’ve spent so much time in the back of Ubers trying to be productive writing emails and slacks and getting car sick.
Now realize that the optimal strategy is to just start randomly calling people I want to talk through things with.

I remember in Jan 2020 I heard of the coronavirus and we bought a bunch of masks I wore the mask on a trip to LA and everyone stared at me, and then 3 months later the world shut down This feels similar…

When @karpathy built MenuGen (karpathy.bearblog.dev/vibe-coding-me…), he said: "Vibe coding menugen was exhilarating and fun escapade as a local demo, but a bit of a painful slog as a deployed, real app. Building a modern app is a bit like assembling IKEA future. There are all these services, docs, API keys, configurations, dev/prod deployments, team and security features, rate limits, pricing tiers." We've all run into this issue when building with agents: you have to scurry off to establish accounts, clicking things in the browser as though it's the antediluvian days of 2023, in order to unblock its superintelligent progress. So we decided to build Stripe Projects to help agents instantly provision services from the CLI. For example, simply run: $ stripe projects add posthog/analytics And it'll create a PostHog account, get an API key, and (as needed) set up billing. Projects is launching today as a developer preview. You can register for access (we'll make it available to everyone soon) at projects.dev. We're also rolling out support for many new providers over the coming weeks. (Get in touch if you'd like to make your service available.) projects.dev

.@davidsenra says Shopify CEO @tobi told him we're going to look back at 2026 as "the year that every single business in the world was up for grabs."
"That AI is coming for everything."
"And you're going to look back and realize that this is the year it should have been obvious that you could rebuild the AI-native version of whatever exists out there."
