👀 Hey, hey, 10K! - a milestone day for Section Star. Sorry, ya'll. I have no secret formula to share. I just built a thing and kept making it better. Thanks Shopify for making a great place to build. https://t.co/AcS8Atv01g

@Shopify is down and it’s telling everyone our store is gone. This is by far the worst message to show customers during an outage

Did Shopify break anyone else's app today? I am getting this:

I personally think to be successful with AI you have to develop an independent taste or opinion outside of it. Because AI will do exactly what you ask of it. It will try to make you happy. But it has no sense of taste … what is good and bad.

The Besties Discuss the First Class of AI Natives Coming Out of College: “They’re Totally Cracked”

Sacks:

“With respect to new college grads, I think the single most marketable skill in the economy right now has got to be proficiency in Claude.”

Bill Gurley:

“It's not just tech or programming. If you're in marketing, if you're in legal, if you're in accounting, sales, if you're the most AI savvy person of all your peers, you are golden.”

Jason:

“You're 10X more valuable than the next person who's not.”

Chamath:

“They're totally cracked.”

@itsdevdaniel @Wix Big red flag. 🚩 Biggest tech innovation in years and company is laying off employees. I had considered a Wix port of one of my apps but going to table that for now.

[Matthew Smith @matthewsmith]

@Jonezell_ Yes!

[Matthew Smith @matthewsmith]

I can state with 100% certainty that no one knows this list scrolls. Zero affordance.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the companies that grow headcount because of AI are going to be the winners. The companies reducing headcount are just treading to stay alive.

@dns_suvrna Yeah, needs a shadow or an arrow or something. Makes support a mess when the UI makes no sense.

@hcaz32000 @faridmovsumov @AnthropicAI Honestly hope you are wrong but I was thinking the same thing.

With Shopify reviews being a hot topic right now, I've got some good news!

Checkout Plus just passed 100 reviews at a 5 star rating!

And I can confidently say that everyone of these reviews are genuine and hard earned!

While some do come from shameless support conversations, I can still say I am proud to have hit this milestone!

[Matthew Smith @matthewsmith]

@hohomelodic @Shopify @ShopifyDevs Amazing that within a minute they got the app installed, setup bundles, and made enough sales to see an increase in AOV.

[Matthew Smith @matthewsmith]

@patrickbo11e @ShopifyDevs I don't understand why apps don't have to have names anymore.

@iamsomewalrus I started to slow down and review each diff as AI performs the changes. Allows for an understanding of the code base while still going relatively fast.

[Matthew Smith @matthewsmith]

@iamsomewalrus Just commit it and test in prod

[Matthew Smith @matthewsmith]

@iamsomewalrus Any luck?

This Shopify app was clearly buying fake 5-star reviews and then didn't pay someone, so they got spammed with 1-star reviews instead which tanked their rating to 2.9 🤣 I have no idea how it passed through Shopify review approval system and got published.

Anyone else feeling the new review purge coming? 🤣
