Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

@dalmaer @bgalbs Congratulations Dion! Always more fun building with friends

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@little_bret Yeah with preassigned seating, there really is no point showing up any earlier

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@jplhomer I’ve been getting an error trying to connect with TD too. Seems like @Plaid and Canadian banks aren’t that stable 🙁

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@geddski @ShopifyEng Thanks Dave for being an amazing colleague. I'm gutted for you to leave this way but I have no doubt you'll be making a huge impact somewhere else. Looking forward to see you crush it!

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@dalmaer I am shook. It's been a true privilege to work alongside you and I've learned so much. Your energy is contagious and I will miss our weekly conversations.

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

You can expect more investment in this area 😉

the shopify graphiql explorer tool just got an amazing refresh to use GraphiQL 2

PSA: if you are writing a web frameworks or chat plugins or anything where you think ecommerce makes a nice example:

we host https://t.co/QuTnGjP03g which gives you a fast mock ecommerce store api for your demos.

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

We've made a bunch of small improvements since we released this a few weeks ago. If you have any feature requests, I'd love to hear from you!

[tobi lutke @tobi]

Special mention of https://t.co/Xjb45lGylm

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

This year really does feel different @Shopify

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@blanklob anything you'd like to see get added?

★ GenAI: Lessons working with LLMs

We learned a few things shipping some LLM based features such as https://t.co/ZRhalF2iiW last week. Here are some of the lessons, and how you need to tame and constrain the beast that is the black box!

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@awazels @ShopifyEng It’s fairly trivial for us to know if the answer is correct by just running the query against the api. But knowing how to fix is definitely a challenge and it’s been more trial and error.

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

We were asked 3 weeks ago if we could build this. The team I work with @ShopifyEng is nothing but spectacular.

[Gil @gilgNYC]

🤯🤯 Holy shit!! They went & made it. AI generated Graphql queries. HOW COOL IS THAT!

You can now populate your store with test data in a single click. 🚀

This data includes the most common commerce resources and configurations to make testing and debugging easier, so you can develop your app or theme with more efficiency and speed.

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@dalmaer updated to not be so aggressive and only watch out for major incidents

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

Another thing our team worked on. We really want the full end-to-end developer experience to be great and getting started with test data is part of that. Super impressed with how the team executed this.

[Dion Almaer @dalmaer]

When you are testing you don’t want to start empty. Why not easily get some sample data to test with? Now you can. https://t.co/KJX33oGMhe

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

I meant all of @Shopify not just engineering. UX, product, data were all involved to help this come to life

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@jplhomer @geddski @little_bret @dalmaer our second hackdays project together! always a good time and watching you code makes me want to get back into it more

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

@little_bret Convincing you that I'm a JS dev just made my day 🤗

[Teddy @teddyhwang]

check out our new @ShopifyDevs docs! we're continually improving things but I'd love to hear any feedback you may have

[Shopify Developers @ShopifyDevs]

We’ve levelled up our documentation! 📈

The Admin API GraphQL doc is now easier to use and navigate, with examples and code snippets ready to use for Curl, Node, and PHP that you can quickly bring to your code with one-click copy-paste.
