Today, @bretlittle.com and I rewrote an entire API design for a new library we’re working on, and didn’t use an LLM once.

We’ve got everyone from my org together in person for 3 days of hacking and shipping as much as possible.

Holy s**t — the pace has been absolutely insane. Incredible talent working insanely hard. So many incredible products being built — can’t wait to show off all this stuff.

I think I must be on a starter pack, or else how are people finding me? Still mostly a lurker here.

Contemplating buying a better personal domain name …

There are things that would bring me more utility for less money. But, hmm, would be so nice.

If you build on #Shopify, I want to add you to my list.

Send me something you’ve built! (Storefront, Theme, App, Function, whatever!)
