I'm a techno optimist for one reason: I see what's shipping.
What used to take years now takes weeks. I watch it happen every day at @Shopify.
If it's pretty good today, it'll be incredibly good very soon. The entrepreneurs who believe that and keep moving are the ones who win this era.

Next Gen Events are now stable in 2026-10!
Choose your triggers, shape your payloads with GraphQL, and filter before delivery.
During developer preview, partners have already cut their daily deliveries:
- @StoqApp: 6M → 500K
- @ablestarco : 10M → 200K
- @zapiet : 500K → 10K
- Stockful : 136K → 50K
- @abrapromotions : 1.7M → 20K
That's millions of deliveries their apps no longer need to process. Less compute spent handling irrelevant updates, less filtering logic to maintain, and simpler apps to build.
