i've built two shopify apps in my career

one in 2022 before the llm blitz and one today

in 2022 it took weeks, and today it took an hour

some of that is because of the llm, but a lot of it is shopify's dx getting way better

✨ I’ve got a couple of extra General Admission tickets to @renderatl.com and I’d love to give them to folks who might not otherwise get a chance to go.

If you’re from an underrepresented group in tech and want to be in the room or know someone who should be DM me!
