BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

@ArchetypeThemes ❤️

Building Shopify liquid themes is hard. Open source resources like Dawn and Shopify CLI help you start, but fall short for advanced needs. Successful theme businesses must invest heavily in custom tooling—creating a massive barrier for newcomers. Meanwhile, innovation remains trapped in private silos. The Liquid tooling ecosystem is stagnating, which hurts merchants. Yet Liquid remains essential. As Shopify moves upmarket to enterprise, quality themes are more important than ever. With tighter budgets, headless solutions aren't economically viable for most. That's why we built Archetype DevKit—an open source, component-first theme building experience available now on GitHub. DevKit offers: ⤷ Specifications, workflows and tooling used to power thousands of Shopify stores ⤷ Centralized, reusable theme components ⤷ Seamless design handoff with matching Figma files ⤷ End-to-end theme design and development environment This initial preview is our call to action. We need the community's expertise to continue building the ideal open source spec for a shared solution. Let's save the competition for what we build, not how we build it. Together, we can advance the Shopify theme ecosystem. Check it out: github.com/archetype-them…

This is just bonkers. Wtaf.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors.

if Canadians boo your anthem I guarantee it’s a you problem

@kevinclark Watch Survivor season 47. She's wild, and an instant loveable player.

Danielle on the Traitors is killing me. That was the worst plan ever conceived. Team Carolyn all the way. Didn’t know her before but what an ICON.

@stevenwhatevr Kids books are amazing these days. Check out anything by this author, simply amazing. He partners with amazing illustrators too (Another Story on Roncy should have some)

This is the most stunning and powerful children’s book I’ve ever read. I don’t know where to begin in describing it.

@BenFeist Wow, great write up. I didn’t realize you were one of the architects of the Mission Control tour. I saw it in early 2020 and it blew me away. Well deserved coin!

This article tells the story of my first full-time year at NASA. benfeist.com/posts/airt-apo… Being given a chance to work at NASA on meaningful work was a dream come true. I hope you all enjoy it.

@paulpritchard Wish I could build something like this on the lake. Township is too concerned about height restrictions to allow anything this cool

This account is hands down my favourite Twitter design follow

I am begging you all to take a refresher course

It’s here! 🏆 We just received a very special award from @Shopify! See it all in our official unboxing video!!!

@alextlira @thommaskelly Same here!

@thommaskelly I need the sweatshirt

1000 merchants have taken the time to write something nice about Impulse 🤯 Archetype is the first theme partner on the theme store to hit this milestone, with the next runner up still sitting in the 600s! A true testament to our product and team. 🙏 Oh — and checkout that Archetype swag giveaway!!! 😎

@tranhelen I’m going to connect multiple Dyson poles today for hard to reach spaces. Can’t wait

@ArchetypeThemes Global namespace clutter, who would have done something like that ☺️

Custom Elements Everywhere! 🧩 When Archetype Themes was founded in 2017, ES modules were still in their infancy, and developers commonly used Immediately Invoked Function Expressions (IIFEs) to expose functions or classes to the window.theme object. While this approach worked for bundling everything into a single JS file, it had significant downsides—especially in terms of global namespace clutter. Fast forward to 2024: With ES modules, import maps, and a component-based approach, our Expanse, Gem, and Fetch themes now fully leverage the power of Custom Elements. This transition brings greater modularity, cleaner code, and a much-improved developer experience.

@blairbeckwith Scrape your form textarea and auto-suggest help articles. When they click “send” have a prompt asking they’re sure these articles don’t solve the problem

Scenario: Your goal is to reduce total support tickets by 50% before the end of the year. What's the one thing you're focusing on to achieve this?

Went out for a nice sunset paddle, but the sky had more in mind later on

Canadian carbon capture project is technically viable, but not financial feasible. Yea, that’s the excuse we should use when the world burns. apple.news/AIgtAda6OROO8U…

@tranhelen If my brain doesn’t know it, I’m fine with that. Siri is for math and music over here

@ScottyShares Wanna split it?
