People using AI and getting poor results is like people using a hammer and missing the nail. You don't blame the hammer. You blame the user.

I wrote an entire note re this. AI is like any other tool. You must hold it properly and the more you use it the better you get.

@colin_digital but if they did, i think apple licensing expects 30% of its web subscription business

A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.

Yes it will be deprecated, TBD, hope we hear more at dot dev. After reviewing the functionality, many use cases will have to be simplified as apps migrate (no method of filtering plans per shopplan), thus expect some would need to get merchants to reapprove a new plan in order to phase out the billing api usage plans. Auto switched us from managed to app pricing and broke development / test subscriptions, so expect it to just keep getting worse at this point, Shopify doesn't care about apps.

@FORSBERGtwo Ordered, trust your recommendation always

[Colin Fetter @cfetter]

@TaylorSicard it was just a short story, some would say a fable

[Colin Fetter @cfetter]

@PrakharS96 I can only compare against 4.8, but “feel” significant improvement however concerned this is the free sampler before they make it API only and then I will be addicted and will have to fund that addiction, like my coffee budget.

Happy Birthday @kinngh, you've had an amazing year!

[Colin Fetter @cfetter]

@kinngh I hated it every moment, not having an esc key was the biggest mistake, but also missed brightness and sound tactile buttons

Google’s Universal Cart looks like quite an interesting implementation using UCP

[Harley Finkelstein @harleyf]

In a nutshell: this gives buyers one place to see their unfinished carts across Google Search, Gemini, YouTube, and Gmail.

For Shopify merchants, this is a really big deal. More touchpoints. More opportunities to bring buyers back and help them complete the purchase journey.

Under the hood, it’s powered by UCP, with checkout flowing directly through Shopify into the merchant’s own checkout experience.

This starts rolling out this summer!

@liam_at_shopify Its great you have @kinngh who understands what devs actually need, don't lose him

[Colin Fetter @cfetter]

Huge congrats to @kinngh on shipping this. Next Gen Events is going to eliminate a ton of useless traffic for devs like us, the best DX upgrade Shopify has shipped in a while

[Harshdeep Singh Hura @kinngh]

Webhooks were built for a simpler time. Next Generation Events are built for ours.

Choose what triggers your webhook, shape your payload with GraphQL and run filters before it even hits your endpoint.

Now in Developer Preview.

[Colin Fetter @cfetter]

@kinngh pre-endpoint filtering is one killer feature. so much of our webhook traffic was just noise we had to throw away. huge.
