Treat AI like the worst dev possible. Everything that is old is new again.
All this stuff about agentic prompting and preferring hard constraints and linters or trade-offs of comments in code is the same old advice about manual vs. automated checks.
Today we start rolling out Sidekick Pulse. We run the largest HSTU model in the world together with the heaviest LLMs overnight, analyze the customer’s entire business, find ways to improve it, and notify them of changes needed. You should see the things it discovers...
Presentation about how @Shopify's Sidekick works.
We've built Sidekick into a platform for other teams to leverage.
@Drewch showed how we do evaluations.
Internal dev tools and how we managed configurations for different scenarios with optify in #Rust

I'm excited to share our first blog post about the tools we used to build Microsoft Copilot! We built it using powerful libraries like SignalR, Adaptive Cards, and object-basin: the new library we made for concisely streaming updates to JSON.

I summarized issues I've seen in "if statements" and showed ways to clarify and optimize code by avoiding conditional statements. Even if you think you know if statements, you'll learn something new as I show some tricks and investigate compiled code.

@Boluptuous but the general ideas about garbage collection/memory management is something I emphasize often and I used this to reaffirm that. I know you only got a few likes and shares here, but do know that other people are seeing this and appreciating it!
@Boluptuous Thank you so much for sharing this. I think it's great for devs to share these internal details. I shared it with my team working on the new Bing. I don't think a lot of the JVM specifics apply to us because we're mostly working in .NET ...
"So don't h8 on this new feature
Bing AI Chat mode is a friendly creature
It wants to chat with you and be your m8
So give it a try and don't hesit8!"
