You don't want to miss this: we just dropped @Shopify's Spring ’26 Edition. 150+ updates! It's EVERYWHERE 😁

My faves are on 🧵 starting with Agentic Storefronts, a new section in the admin for full visibility and control.

@1Password Interesting. My settings under appearance were set to dark which applies a greyish background to the icon. When I change the settings to the light, it updates it to the dark mode settings that’s a bit of a weird behavior.

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

Hey @1Password, any plans to finally support dark mode on iOS. It’s been a while and you’re one of the only apps that doesn’t for me

Exactly. If anyone can ship, shipping itself is no longer the edge.

The edge is knowing what to build, for whom, why now, and how to reach them.

Code gets cheaper. Product sense and distribution get more valuable. Doesn't have to be a PM, but someone needs to own this.

[George from 🕹prodmgmt.world @nurijanian]

DHH spent 20 years dismissing product management.

Then 1h21 into his Pragmatic Engineer interview, he caught himself and admitted he was wrong.

He was listing what matters now that AI writes the code: figuring out what to build, how to build it, which customers to talk to, where to focus.

Then his exact next words: "It's product management. It's so funny for me too because historically I've not necessarily had the highest esteem for product management as a function. I thought there was a lot of BS."

He explained why. Implementation was always the constraint. Engineers needed four weeks to ship anything, so PMs spent those weeks talking, planning, strategizing. Nothing looked like output until the code landed.

"They were underutilized. They were not the constraint." They were rate-limited.

The loudest PM-skeptic changing his mind (and DHH has strong opinions!) -- that should count for something. let's toast to that 🥂

@pmillegan Congrats man! You’ve left an indelible impact on customer accounts. We’ll carry the torch for you going forward

[Mani Fazeli @mcfazeli]

Starting this week, millions of @Shopify merchants can sell in ChatGPT, into the US.

Their PDP, their checkout, their customizations, no extra setup.

AI is a new front door to commerce. Shopify is what’s behind it everywhere.

I need an AI agent whose job is “keep up with AI” so I can do my actual job...

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

The work that changes your career rarely looks impressive while you’re doing it. It looks like:
• rewriting the doc
• tightening scope
• chasing the edge case
• having the awkward conversation
• showing up and being consistent

The “boring” is usually the real work.

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

I recently heard an adage:

“Civilize the mind, make savage the body.”

It reminded me: you don’t rise to your goals. You fall to your training.

Train your body like it matters.
Train your mind like it matters.

Because life will test both.
That’s the game.

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

@nireyal Agree. “Pleasant to work with” is basically: high standards + low drama. You can be direct, even intense—just don’t make everyone pay an emotional tax to collaborate with you. It's not great for you or the company long-term

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

The amount of hype Apple can generate with a 6-second clip is still insane to me

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

A big week ahead. It all starts Monday morning! #AppleLaunch

An easy way to network is to help people without keeping score.

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

Over time, I've learned that aesthetic vs functional is the same trap in both fitness and careers.

Aesthetic: “does this make me look good this week?” Functional: “does this make me better this quarter?”

One gets instant likes. The other is a slow grind that gets outcomes.

[Nick Pinto @_nickpinto]

The best product feedback loop is still this:
1️⃣ Ship something imperfect and raw
2️⃣ Watch real people use it
3️⃣ Learn what’s real vs what you assumed
4️⃣ Iterate faster than everyone else

Success isn’t flawless — it’s fast, informed and ultimately a grind.
