🤔 E-commerce visibility redefined?
On May 15, @OpenAI quietly added @Shopify to ChatGPT’s search, no announcement, just a doc update.
🛍️ Now Shopify stores show up with rich results: images, prices, reviews.
💡Non-Shopify merchants can apply (just don’t block OAI-SearchBot).

.Any() vs .Count() > 0? in C# by @groogs.bsky.social
stackoverflow.com/a/63569609/2...
.NET Framework With ICollection: .Count > 0 is best .Count() > 0 is fine, but ultimately just calls ICollection.Count .Any() is going to be slower, as it enumerates a single item With non-ICollection (no .Count property) .Any() is best, as it only enumerates a single item .Count() > 0 is bad as it causes complete enumeration .NET Core .Count > 0 is best, if available (ICollection) .Any() is fine, and will either do ICollection.Count > 0 or enumerate a single item .Count() > 0 is bad as it causes complete enumeration

Enjoying the arc browser way. Productivity boost. It's a change with no bookmarks but replaced with auto-recycled tabs, pinned tabs, and favorites tabs. A nice mix of those with Profiles, Spaces, and Preview links are boosting my browsing experience.
Just a thing in Arc that generates a card by user.

Inside Bluesky’s Engineering Culture
newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/bluesky-en...
Unusual origins. It’s rare for publicly traded companies to fund startups which may become rivals – but it happened with Bluesky. Team. A high ratio of former founders amongst the engineering team (70-80!%) , and the near-absence of Big Tech experience. Tech stack. TypeScript, Go, ScyllaDB, SQLite, React+Expo. Company culture. Full-remote with a time zone overlap, “extremely online.” How the team operates. 2-3 person teams with a DRI, work buddies for everyone, and lots of longform writing. Engineering culture. Integration tests over unit tests, roll-back / roll-forward, & the benefits of not having large-scale organizational expertise. Open source and community. Treat contributors well, invest in developer platforms and documentation, and celebrate/promote third-party contributions.
