I’ve said this offline since November, but mark my words, it’ll all come down to 3 things: inference, infra and OSS.

@forgebitz you'd be shocked at how not-dead it is in the wild

Building with AI is such an interesting proxy for determining what ZIRP era tooling/tech is bloat

Reminder: Shopify CLI 4.0 is coming this month. It's exciting (semantic versioning! auto updates!), but not scary. We will be removing some deprecated flags and commands, including the `--force` flag on `shopify app deploy`.

@nick_wesselman Ableton jams to the sound of $$$. Can't beat that

Also, knowing some info about the company and using AT LEAST a demo of the product should be considered least-you-can-do interview prep

[ryan.rb @ryan_bahan]

I went way "over the top" when I applied to @Shopify

I reached out to multiple devs there for referrals. I had followup conversations with all my interviewers, and sent REPLs demonstrating different improvements of my technical challenges, given different requirement scenarios

[Brie Wolfson @zebriez]

Talking to a lot of top performers lately.

Shocking % say they got the foot-in-the-door job by going way over the top on their job application / interview prep.

it didn’t only get them the job. It earned them special attention from others on the hiring panel + company leaders once they started.

[ryan.rb @ryan_bahan]

I'm 100% convinced that extra effort got me the job. People talk a lot about leveraging your network, but going the extra mile once you're "in" can put you way above and beyond the competition

[ryan.rb @ryan_bahan]

My toxic trait is that I genuinely believe most software companies could delete 50% of their tests and see little to no difference in reliability

[ryan.rb @ryan_bahan]

LUCKILY I have one thing ai doesn't: sustained trauma

[ryan.rb @ryan_bahan]

I finally got around to a longtime goal of mine: learning to build audio plugins. It's been a blast getting into C++ and DSP. Will have some cool stuff to share soon
