Local machines had become a bottleneck for agentic mobile development at @Shopify, so we gave agents their own remote dev environments. They now author 61% of our merged PRs 🧵

@kovyrin You'll want to archive it (and likely notarize it): https://t.co/3ba2XabFDV

@kovyrin I haven't tried it yet, but Xcode now has AI predictive code completion and a Github Copilot plugin. Swift Assist is coming soon too. I think you can also connect Cursor with Xcode.

[Robin Senior @senior]

I have been writing code professionally for over 20 years and I have yet to successfully write an AppleScript.

Even AI assistants are flummoxed.

Truly a read-only language.

@mustafa01ali I got one this week too! https://t.co/h0DaBbJnF1

@fnthawar Yep. I wish all these crappy apps could consolidate their notifications through the Home app. I have ones for my washer, dishwasher, water heater, fridge, and Instant Pot.

@JamesBigg I think you mean they're getting kilt out there

A order on @SaltandSundry just tipped Shopify over the 1 trillion(!) in cumulative GMV.

Monumental milestone for us. A beautiful small business run by Amanda McClemens in DC. Couldn't have been a better example of what makes Shopify special: https://t.co/w1qUo7zuji

My @BoschGlobal dishwasher is using push notifications to nag me into doing a load of dishes with its crappy app. What growth PM dreamed this up?

@danielpatricio I'll be there!

@JamesBigg See you on Sunday 💥

[Robin Senior @senior]

@RebeccaSlatkin @alexforbes__ I have a sizeable collection of tools left at my house by contractors who ghosted me and never came back for them. If you need like 5 shovels, I'm your man.

@Alex_Danco @535Toronto The view from my home office:

@JamesBigg ahem.

@_LindsayCraig @Shopify I'm on intermission at the same time as you! Off to Costa Rica this week 🙌

@benjaminsehl It works for me, but I don't understand why I need to use a fake chatbot just to pay my property tax. And why can't I schedule all 3 instalments at once? I have to set calendar reminders to go talk to the stupid website every month.
