Shopify: The Boring Edition.

We focused on the hard and unsexy work of nailing the basics, getting all the parts of Shopify to work seamlessly together, and run at tip top performance. You've got to sweat the details.

Some of my favorite updates 🧵

[Daniel Beauchamp @pushmatrix]

Every time a sale is made on @Shopify this Black Friday weekend, it shows up on this 3D globe.

It runs at 120fps in the web with a full 3D environment, physics engine, music synth, VR support, and more.

It’s hard to believe it's a React app 👀🧵

[Remix 💿 @remix_run]

Did you know that https://t.co/WGecaefLh3 is built with Remix? 😅

@Shopify is building and shipping products to millions of users with Remix. We sat down with the team who built https://t.co/WGecaefLh3 to discuss the project.

https://t.co/WGecaefLh3 was one of the first Remix projects to use the Remix Vite plugin, which gave their dev server a 90x speed up! ⚡️

Happy New Monkey Island day to all those who celebrate!

[Steve Gardner @steeevg]

We all talk about how infinitely scrolling websites are often bad for user experience... but we never talk about how it makes the footer feel.

So I made this @CodePen to help shine a light on the footer's never-ending sorrow. 😢

Shopify loves Ruby! A small team lead by @Love2Code has been working on a new JIT that focuses on web & @rails workloads while also accelerating all ruby code out there. Today @yukihiro_matz gave his thumbs up to merging it into trunk: https://t.co/bmkcrv6dJC

Good morning everyone! If you have a Rails app 6.1+, you probably noticed all of your bundle installs are failing! A gem, mimemagic, had a licensing issue and needed to yank all of its old (illegal) versions and relicense. Your options:
