We have been doing BFCM dashboards for the past 10 years now. It's always one of the most fun projects at Shopify and a great tradition now. You know, it's pretty abstract to run internet software companies. Seeing a visualization

I had an entire implementation that used a proper state machine but I couldn’t get it simple and small enough for this single file thing. The regexp chain is dumb but clear.

I've tried to eliminate language around being "too busy" from my vocabulary and attempt to replace it with "can't prioritize". That's sometimes a bit awkward, but really trains better habits. Sometimes I p

I agree, I ended up getting rid of it. Only one dependency is downloaded (via bash script) and everything is baked into the binary now.

Awesome project. If there is ever a project that needed an electron app it’s this one. I’d love to have a Perspective.app that efficiently loads local data style files.

Creating and sharing powerful tools for people to build the things that they want to exist is kinda in Shopify's DNA. It's also important to me to give back to open source. It's done so much for us.

Hey, "in perpetuity" isn't right. We have done this multiple times before and it's part of the culture. One culture value is "Thriving on change" and the recurring meeting GC run is one opportunity for people t

Everything you need and highlight here can be done on a basic Shopify plan and via the liquid templating engine. It would run super fast, edge deployed globally. The problem is that no one wants this, so we don't even have templates li

Liquid is a love letter to vanillaJS. That will always be the shopify default. Ecommerce is perfect use case for the web native.

Shopify has Liquid, our template engine. Hydrogen + Oxygen is the manual process to get something like liquid :-) We tend to refer to the whole thing as the Shopify H2O stack. I really like it, but I also named it. I can confirm brain was u
