I'm moving on from @Shopify. When I joined 7.5 years ago, friends were literally taking bets on whether I'd last a year. The idea of me thriving inside a large company (and Shopify was a lot smaller back then!) felt unlikely. Most people assumed I'd be itching to start my next thing. Instead, Shopify became my company. I wasn't a founder, but @tobi always made me feel like one. It wasn't a startup, but Shopify moves like one. And the mission isn't just words — it shows up in the decisions, every day. I got to wear a lot of hats. Introducing Shop to the world. Going deep on the rails of how money moves on the internet. Reimagining Shopify for the age of AI through design. Leaving is hard. Shopify changed my life in more ways than I can recount. It taught me how to build for the long term, gave me a bar for craft and ambition I'll carry into everything that comes next, and showed me what it looks like when a company lives its mission. In my next chapter, I'm getting the opportunity to bring together all the things I've obsessed over the past decade — consumer mobile, finance and money movement, design, AI — into a single role. More on that soon.
Winning the Eastern Conference might not be enough to save Mike Brown job with the Knicks, per @sam_amick “The noise surrounding the Knicks’ Mike Brown won’t die down unless they reach the NBA Finals, and even that might not be good enough for the first-year New York coach to be safe.”
Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.
Ken Griffin is “appalled” that Zohran used his $238m Manhattan penthouse in his tax the rich promotional video Citadel is now apparently considering bailing on their construction plans to build a new office in Midtown. The project would involve $6 billion in spending and would create 15k permanent jobs in NYC according to Citadel’s COO "It is shameful that he used Ken's name as the example of those who supposedly aren't carrying their fair share of the burdens associated with New York City's often costly and wasteful spending," the email said. "In doing so, the mayor has once again manifested the ignorance and disdain of the elite political class towards those who have been consistently committed to building one of the greatest cities in the world." Would be both incredibly petty but also hilarious if Citadel backed out of their plans over this
