@TheCraigHewitt awesome! just dm:ed

Using Claude subscription in another harness is still a high risk of ban? Asking for a friend.

@emil_priver The content is gold, but his ability to lean into the emotions on top is just... insanely brave and well done.

[Birk Jernström @birk]

Incredible talk.

@bkwebster Cool! I assume though that there are different policies and expectations on levels of human review for other initiatives at the bank, e.g consumer facing, money handling etc?

[Birk Jernström @birk]

Do you still read more than 20% of the code you ship?

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@emil_priver I had the same reservations from the title, and was about to scroll past it, but I’m really glad I didn’t. Truly a pleasure to watch.

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@emil_priver Watch it. You’ll love it.

[Birk Jernström @birk]

Absolute beauty of a talk @davekiss! 👏

Proud of my wife who is now a founder. Shipping atoms. Launched her fashion brand today.

@bkwebster Thanks for sharing. So the code is for internal use and cyber vs external customer facing? Not placing any value on either to be clear. Just curious and asking to understand

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@fokuserad1337 @Shopify Thank you for sharing that! Tictail ♥️

She just received her first @Shopify order and started crying.

When I worked at Shopify I saw that reaction and what the first order meant for entrepreneurs through countless - incredible - videos.

But this was the first time in person and in the moment.

Beautiful.

@bkwebster What are you shipping?

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@mitsuhiko Not surprised, but had to make this follow-up: https://t.co/eCikxnHURS

Do you still write more than 20% of code by hand?

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@AlanMamedi @Shopify 🔥

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@rampatra_ For atoms @Shopify is the 🐐
For byes @polar_sh is.

Different needs, but both coming down to empowering entrepreneurs 💪

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@siggelabor @siavashg Sounds like a story I’d love to hear. Buy you lunch in the coming weeks?

[Birk Jernström @birk]

So my kids got to cut my hair today

[Birk Jernström @birk]

@jh3yy @Shopify Thank you! Super proud and fully agree.

It’s been eye opening and incredible to be part of this process as a software engineer. Same fundamental process of iterations, but an order of magnitude slower and more costly to wield atoms vs bytes.
