Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML.

But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc?

We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work.

We call it Quick 👇🧵

@carlrivera I can still hear the dial up modem clearly, feel the satisfying rip of the perforated printer paper edges, see the pixellated images. I wouldn't trade instant connectivity, convenience of information, and digital everythings, but I have 100% romanticized this time.

Bedtime tuck-ins is definitely the time to explain: property taxes, our healthcare system, hospital triaging, condo fees, rental insurance, the diff between the liberal and conservative parties, and why you can’t play truth or dare with Alexa (nor ask her to play gunshot noises).

As I turned around to say sorry to the door I accidentally walked into it became clear…we can’t become the 51st state. Sorry (but not actually).

@mandiramidha Would buy, 10/10 🔥

[Shannon O'Brien @loislane99]

@andrewalexjones Yup!!

When did “by accident” become “on accident”?

ER doc here. This is a tragic death. Based on the information available, a 6 hour wait for MD evaluation is unacceptable. We know those who leave ER without being seen by an MD are a high-risk group - and we do not blame them. - 1/9

Can't drive until I see a neurologist but can't see a neurologist b/c #ontario health care.

Can't rely on packages being delivered on time b/c #CanadaPostStrike

Fa la la la la our systems are broken.

Whoever gave a green light to the Dyson product team that pitched a faucet x hand dryer mashup is a sociopath.

@nejatian Can’t believe you left “Taco ‘bout ridiculous” on the table…

Every year I give a talk to the company, and every year I dread putting it together.

This year, I got some help from my AI terrarium. New unlock 😄

@nejatian Might be aging myself but I grew up at the absurd intersection of intellivision’s astrosmash and sierra game leisure suit larry. I’m nostalgic for precisely one of these games.

[Shannon O'Brien @loislane99]

@bram @Shopify Congrats Bram, always a pleasure working with you!!
