Heh, literally was training qwen3 finetunes during test sessions. Yea cruel sport, but its the low lows allow the high heights.

hi orange page, author here. QMD is an implementation of the best practices that I picked up in meetings with teams that work in search and retrieval. I tried to make it not overki…

Heh. That’s news to me too

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 i…

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.

Added some additional information here: https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1570791158691012610 It's a really great system. We recommend that people borrow from it liberally.

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 re…
