@juneuprising Is this test driven development 🤔

POV: my favourite view from my phone. Just in time for final prep, @Shopify made a special Black Friday widget.

You can see:
- Your store’s performance analytics at-a-glance from your home screen
- Instantly check in on how your biz is performing during the busiest time of yr

If ever there was a time to just add text posts to @instagram, now would be that time. I'm positive there is a stale branch somewhere with that feature.

How do I add this to my resumé?

@awazels The internal memes are on point:

Sad day at @Shopify. I'm lucky to sign into the same Slack tomorrow and continue my work, but many others through no fault of their own, woke up to a different email today.

If you're looking for talent of the highest caliber, please reach out to [email protected]

[tobi lutke @tobi]

This was a very hard decision and a very hard message to write. Shopify is full of remarkable people. Today we have to say farewell to some of them. If you are hiring, contact [email protected] and we will provide you with contact information

It's the sort of thing where you can make a loose case that the user showed interest in reels with a definitive action and therefore they might want to see more of that content.

And hey, it drives more engagement with reels, and maybe they spend more time in the app afterward!

@laurentdelrey @jonrundle I found your alt account 😛

@juneuprising @figma At this point I think it's easier to build the thing than prototype it 😅

[Alex Mathers @malecks]

2 features that would make @figma prototyping so much better:
- Paging for vertical and horizontal scrolls
- Separate gestures for dragging in different directions (e.g. Up, down, left, right)

Should forms show errors during or after typing has completed?

[Alex Mathers @malecks]

@__steele @danserif It leads to this page 🤦‍♂️. The cringe is too strong for me to keep clicking around, but the broken image links to https://t.co/FhJLuoU75N which I can only imagine was the rickroll of the late 90s?

@allisongrayce Design systems as a floor, not a ceiling 💪

@ayanonagon I have so much trouble with this too 😪

One thing I found useful that coworkers introduced me to is keeping a 'brag doc'. Mine is literally just a list of everything I've done since I started. Good reminder for me and good for my manager who doesn't see everything
