Try to upgrade to Github Pro. It makes you click "save" three separate times for personal info, payment info, and submitting. The kicker is the "this might suck" reward you get at the end. I realize this is basically 3-step checkout, but I guess it's a visceral reminder of what

Perk of living in Brooklyn: I’ll be first in line to buy artisan hand-typed code when it first appears, on floppies hand-signed by the author.

Can't talk, driving. I can't seem to beat 1:51, although I blame the synth solo that hits right near the end for distracting me from my A-game. ecomm blah blah blah . but what a soundtrack :).

When you run OAI Codex for the first time on one of your personal repos, start the "find a bug" task and wait anxiously . only to be told the most serious bug is a typo in a comment. AW SHUCKS GPT THINKS I CAN STILL CODE PRETTY GOOD

Please keep building great apps. That’s the main thing. We’ll make sure merchants see them—and review them, too.

To help manage feedback, we’re now sending email notifications to you for every new review. Soon, we’re adding a way to request and collect reviews inside the Shopify admin. No more detours. Legit feedback should be easy to give.

At this scale, some good reviews might slip through, but we can’t accept appeals right now. Omelette, eggs.

Some developers will see small rating shifts, up or down. It sucks to lose reviews you worked hard for, but the new system is fairer for everyone. Devs won’t be held hostage to bad faith reviews, and merchants can get better signals on which apps fit them best.

We’re applying this across the board, and most apps won’t see changes to their overall star rating or ranking. No business impact. Just a cleaner, better ecosystem.

Starting today, we're archiving a large backlog of outdated, unhelpful, and untrusted reviews from the Shopify App Store. We're serious about trust and that means dealing with fake reviews - both positive ones that unfairly boost rankings, and negative ones that do the opposite.

Snap smoke test on new reasoning models, 1st thing I do to see what's up:. List out all the uneven numbers that do not include the letter e. o3-mini crashed then got it right, 35s reasoning. sonnet 3.7 got it wrong, 45s reasoning. grok3 got it right, 45s reasoning.

I'm a huge TE fan. Learned the OP-XY on flight from LA to Sydney by recreating Nightcall (theme to "Drive") using just built-ins (and vox ripped with Moises). The attention to detail in the design of the hardware/software is just . beautiful. And I'm still only using 1/2 of it.
