Now that the whole industry is united behind UCP, it’s worth re-reading how we built the protocol specifically to put merchants in charge of their checkout and commerce. Building the Universal Commerce Protocol shopify.engineering/ucp

The man behind "simplicity" and the poem of Pi: You're building an orchestration layer to command an army of autonomous agents. You installed Beads, completely oblivious to the fact that it's basically uninstallable malware. The internet told you to. That's how you should work or you're ngmi. You're ralphing the loop. Look, @Anthropic built a C compiler with an agent swarm. It's kind of broken, but surely the next generation of LLMs can fix it. Oh my god, @cursor_ai built a browser with a battalion of agents. Yes, of course, it's not really working and it needed a human to spin the wheel a little bit every now and then. But surely the next generation of LLMs will fix it. Pinky promise! Distribute, divide and conquer, autonomy, dark factories, software is solved in the next 6 months. SaaS is dead, my grandma just had her @openclaw build her own @Shopify ! © @badlogicgames to make shit done just need 1000 token system prompt!

@myra_apps @Shopify @ShopifyDevs @liam_at_shopify @store_migration thanks Zoey. sure just let me know.

@theedqar @Shopify @ShopifyDevs @liam_at_shopify @store_migration Hey! It's Store Leads Chrome extension. Btw Your app looks great... Would you be open to collaborating?

How is this even allowed @Shopify @ShopifyDevs @liam_at_shopify ? ⚠️ I just came across “XB: Announcement Bars & Banner” and saw multiple stores giving rating to only XB apps. And I’m not the only one, saw another dev call out this developer "XBoost" for basically dominating all the ad space. Shopify needs to take a serious look at this. It hurts the entire ecosystem.

@robertosenabre good luck with more subscriptions! 🫰

Oh yeah!!! It's go to market time 🚀

teaching a human a new workflow takes patience. you explain it, repeat it, check their work, give feedback, follow up again. and even then you’re never fully sure it clicked. with an ai agent it’s completely different. you build it once, describe exactly what you want, and it runs that way every single time. no follow-ups. no “did you understand the process?” but here’s what really got me. the agent doesn’t just follow the process. it can improve it over time. spot patterns you missed. suggest better steps. a person needs constant coaching to evolve a workflow. an agent evolves the moment you give it better context. my current stack for this: pi by @badlogicgames as the agent runtime. guardrails baked in, human-in-the-loop where it matters. custom Pi tools and extensions wired into internal apis and processes. for continuous improvement i combine @harborframework with @karpathy’s autoresearch. the agent evaluates its own workflow in a sandbox and researches better approaches automatically. for the knowledge base i took @karpathy’s llm wiki concept and plugged in @tobi’s qmd as the internal memory layer. the agent searches its own wiki locally before making any decision. fully isolated, fully self-contained. the things that used to take weeks of training now take an afternoon of building.

check out @lingodotdev, they have a feature where you teach it your brand/voice/tone and set up ci/cd for translations. you change something in english in codebase, all other languages update automatically. no manual work. reach out to the founders directly, they’re super helpful )

Great feedback from the Shopify dev community suggests the translating app is worth the effort, based on app founders' experiences. Over the last few days, I have been working on it and have already translated one of my apps into many languages. And will probably add a few more based on our app install data. Adding the first language is the hardest part because you make everything translatable. Backend validation errors, emails a lot of edge cases... Once I finished adding the first language, the rest was much easier. Also, here are my installs by locale in the last 150 days, which might help prioritize translations. These languages seem like the main ones currently - Spanish - French - German - Turkish - Dutch - Portuguese (Brazil) I am curious to see how it will affect installs and churn.

@faridmovsumov Ohh 😀 Behind this review, your team put in a lot of effort and faced many challenges! You’re ecom geeks! After this huge review, I just wonder what the maximum character limit is? deserved bro!

Wow, wake up to this amazing review! 🙏 I especially love the last part: "Some of the functions in Rubik can be done with custom code and some specific settings in the Dawn theme, but my experience was that I could never get all the features I wanted to work together using custom code. I spent a lot of time messing with the code and gave up in the end. Rubik satisfied all my requirements without conflicting with anything else on the site. Great work by the Rubik gang!"

@twtayaan @grok any suggestions?

@twtayaan Hmm, I’m thinking how to make this work as a remote network drive. So I just mount it to my macOS and forget that this is AWS S3. any idea or ready to use tools maybe ?

🚨 S3 is no longer just Object Storage. Yesterday (April 7, 2026), AWS officially launched Amazon S3 Files. This is the biggest update to S3 in 20 years. It can: → Mount S3 buckets as native file systems → Provide sub-millisecond file access → Handle POSIX permissions (UID/GID) natively → Connect to Lambda, EC2, and EKS directly → Eliminate the need for s3fs or data staging Your AI agents can read/write to S3 like a local disk, while your data team access the same objects via API. DevOps just got a massive upgrade. Source: share.google/ts8JORn6SURzwM…

@orhundev 😁 mercimek space guzel ad olmush 🙌 good luck

I started a Hackerspace in Ankara and we just had our first meetup! 🎉 Join us: mercimek.space #hackerspace #ankara #meetup

@faridmovsumov 👍 main reasons copycat apps dont survive. they clone the feature/ui but never edge case & 3am support replies that keep merchants around

Support is the most important piece of Shopify app development.

kinder prize from @claudeai thx

if you're a Shopify app developer and wondering why the refund button is disabled in your partner dashboard, here's what i learned today four reasons it gets greyed out: charge already fully refunded, charge over $1K, charge older than 12 months, or ACH payment older than 90 days. all of those need Shopify support to process manually. not a plus plan thing either

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now. Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that: • Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime • Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis • Executes decoded shell commands • Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories • Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

@minchoi :DDD

AI is getting out of hand... in China 😂 Absolute cinema

pi took over my ghosty terminal. devops, cicd, project setup. 300tk sys prompt gpt-5.4 on medim thinking, yolo mode. go to cli buddy. it is fast

@jamiepine @DonaldLekgwathi @spacedriveapp @rustlang @grok hey @grok who is @DonaldLekgwathi @LekgwathiDonald ??

@DonaldLekgwathi @theedqar @spacedriveapp @rustlang hey @grok is this true?

first time watching @jamiepine's twitch stream. this guy vibecodes @spacedriveapp live and i had to look at what else he shipped. three open source apps, some of in @rustlang, 50k+ github stars combined.. cool all built live on stream. one person. jamiepine.live watching his workflow still made me take notes 😄
