Cheer Cheer for Old Notre Dame!

People always ask me what it's like working with @tobi.

Here's @sama's answer: he writes the software himself, he sends OpenAI more detailed product feedback than anyone else on earth, and he stays six to eight months ahead of every other CEO.

Nothing in this clip surprised me. This is just what every day at @Shopify looks like.

I have no idea why but Grok-4.6 just totally freaked out doing some maintenance tasks when it saw my low github id.

Beautiful open source gift

$6.2 billion on Black Friday, up 25% from last year (22% on a constant currency basis). A new record for @Shopify merchants.

Peak: $5.1 million in sales per minute at 12:01 PM EST.

Black Friday isn’t local anymore. It’s global. And it belongs to the entrepreneurs building on Shopify.

Here is the Event Summary for the 15 May 2025 event https://t.co/nu7pQqrI5Z

[Lou Stagner (Golf Stat Pro) @LouStagner]

What Rory did on 15, 16 and 17 in the final round is BONKERS. 1 in 28,700 chance.

🤯🤯🤯

#15▶️207 yards to 6 feet
#16▶️170 yards to 9 feet
#17▶️196 yards to 2 feet

The chances a tour pro hits each of those shots as close as he did:
#15▶️1.99%
#16▶️7.91%
#17▶️0.37%

The chances a tour pro hits approach shots that good on three consecutive holes?
▶️About 1 in 28,700

If you let the typical tour pro play those three holes 28,700 times, they will only accomplish what Rory did one single time.

Rory did it with the tournament (and the career grand slam) hanging in the balance.

Absolutely incredible.
