My newborn is sleeping through the night and the sun is shining. Bliss! ☀️

I have a newborn and as a result, do not have hands to use computers. It's making me realise just how limiting the accessibility features are on a Mac and how high the bar is to learn how to use them. LLMs with computer use could unlock a new wave of products here. Is anyone working on this?

Is there an MCP server to find MCP servers? A sort of 'google for tools'? If so you could add one MCP to an LLM and it could then search for relevant tools, try them out and then use the right one to complete the task. A bit like rummaging through a toolbox to find the right tool.

I’ve been using the phrase “waiting on tenterhooks” all my adult life but only just now, with George Orwell’s words on dead metaphors ringing in my ears, decided to look it up. Quite interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenterhook

Shopify Collective has Dev Docs

After months of gentle persuasion (fine, nagging), our engineering team shipped comprehensive developer documentation for Shopify Collective. Integration nightmares are officially over!

Never stop supporting Ukraine defending their homeland against Putin's illegal invasion. Dismayed by events? Two ways to take action: 1. Write to your representatives demanding increased aid and that any future peace deal is just and lasting 2. Donate directly u24.gov.ua https://u24.gov.ua/

Sometimes, it’s the boring things that make software truly great. That’s why we shipped search and sort for your connections list in Shopify Collective. So if you’re scaling to hundreds or thousands of selling partnerships it’s now faster and easier to navigate.

I'm pitting o1 vs distilled Deepseek-R1 this morning running locally to develop a sleep / childcare schedule for the imminent arrival of my 2nd child. So far 1.5 billion parameters is absolutely insufficient to reason through this, which... yeah makes sense. o1 wins today.

🧵Starting 2025 with a bang, we shipped a gargantuan checkout upgrade for retailers sourcing through Shopify Collective. Now customers can choose from multiple shipping rates at checkout, with date estimates fetched live from Collective suppliers. Why did we build this? (1/6)

Can someone please make an AI that filters out all the clickbait rage bait and AI slop that recommenders push incessantly? It would be a great service to humanity.

I'm realising life was easier when there was a clear 'best' option for search: Google. Now I have to use mental energy to choose the best AI for tasks. Perplexity for knowledge; ChatGPT for chat; Sonnet for Code. It's all still to play for. Fun times.

Interesting morning AI test. Which AI finds the lowest cost option for a product (Schwinn 800IC)? ChatGPT! Although both it and Gemini correctly found the lowest cost new version, ChatGPT suggested a 2nd hand option from eBay. Perplexity Pro was a big fail. Surprised!

Huge congratulations to the Freetrade team for the exit today. It’s not the unicorn valuation I was hoping for and expecting some day given the quality of the product and the pace of execution. But it’s a win nonetheless. 🤞 the new owners don’t screw it up.

Today I am struck by how ridiculously lucky I am to be a PM when arguably the biggest technological revolution in history has occurred. Working with and on AI every day to help entrepreneurs succeed is a great privilege.

TIL Perplexity has an API that uses their LLM models and does web search too. I’m definitely going to hack with this. V cool. https://docs.perplexity.ai/guides/model-cards

Bluesky has really managed to get real-time right in a way that threads failed to do. Amazing amount of coverage of the events in Syria.
