Startups taught me to crank bias for action to max. Ship it, fix it, answer it. That survival mode became an edge, paying dividends in getting sh*t done. Those lessons still compound in big tech, and I’m grateful for every scar.

Your success doesn’t happen at install, it begins at activation. This change bridges that gap.
New method in App Bridge 🚀 Check which checkout and customer account extensions are active, and use that data to guide merchants through setup.

One example is an app with switches and variants. It takes a lot of design thinking across settings, previews, and styling, and it really shows. @bsscommerce_app

When we take the time to build something right from the start, it pays off. It keeps the experience cohesive and avoids the messy patchwork that happens when we’re just layering fixes. Whether we’re vibe coding or not, that principle still holds

Love when apps really step up their onboarding game to help guide users fast. For example, this Shopify app not only guides you through install, but it also have troubleshooting steps and compatibility info.

Tech just got a boost. Here’s how One Big Beautiful Bill, Section 174, should play out for tech: More R&D → more product development → more engineering, data, design, and PM roles. Better cash flow + lower tax rates = fewer R&D cuts during downturns and more reinvestment.

The product isn’t just about what you build. It’s about who it resonates with, how fast you learn, and where you show up.

4. Traction continues to come from audience-first thinking. Community, narrative, and distribution matter more than ever. 5. Execution gets easier. So, judgment becomes the bottleneck: a) Picking the right problem, b) Shaping the right context, c) Stacking the right tools
