iOS 26 now reads OTPs from third-party apps like WhatsApp and Gmail as well!. Apple just fixed the most annoying part of OTPs. This is huge. 🔥

Is Cursor the only IDE that supports a *folder* of rules / more advanced stuff like globs? I can't find docs on Windsurf/Copilot, etc.

OK, Liquid AMA — let's do this. Set a reminder and tell your friends! . Got questions ready? Thread them here 👇.
Anyone keen on getting a Liquid AMA soon? I’m volunteering @mxstbr to join me. It’s been a while since our last "Space" on here and … well … a lot has changed. What do you think @ShopifyDevs?.

@benjaminsehl @blanklob Or spend that time doing AMAs which are valuable to both partners and product. Roundtables were exceptionally popular at Editions for this reason.

This is an insanely helpful tool. I’m determined to build a platform native way of doing this — but in the meantime this tool is super helpful for scalable ways to manage schemas and their presets.
Calling all Shopify developers - I've released a couple of packages to let you write your Liquid schemas in JS/TS. Schemas can now be more composable, reusable and consistent across your themes. Please take them for a spin and let me know how these tools affect your DX.

Who the hell came up with the terminology that "shot" = "example" for prompting? . "one shot" is the most commonly misused term I hear, but it feels the most right.
