Replying to @KentBeck
@KentBeck great interview: Q: How do you feel about agile now? It’s a devastated wasteland. The life has been sucked out of it. It’s a few religious rituals carried out by people who don’t understand the purpose that those rituals were intended to serve in the first place.

With today's new version release, both the 2019-04 and 2019-07 API versions are now unsupported. To prevent your app being delisted or having new installs blocked, use the API health report in your Partner Dashboard to make sure your app is not making any unsupported calls.

App devs- Don't forget API versions 2019-04 and 2019-07 become unsupported on July 2 (or in two weeks).

📢We're beta testing a “cookie-less” app auth option that simplifies implementation for app devs, and we’re looking for a small group of devs to help test the feature. If you're interested sign up here: surveymonkey.com/r/BNKPS7Z
Quick update. We've adopted the new app auth in the email app and it's 💨. The team is working on hardening and adoption docs. We will likely release in 2 phases with support for post-install auth first (most common) and then the install auth. Coming soon! Who's excited?

Graphs 📈 are boring even if one of mine made the Wall Street Journal. As an engineer, much prefer 📉. Let's talk performance at Shopify. Composite primary keys aren't the default in AR/Rails. We added and now seeing 700% speed-up in top order queries. /1

$#!%. Just realized China locked down Hubei at day ~2 below. Italy's national quarantine was day 15 below. See how their actions still haven't #flattenthecurve yet? Remember, the visible growth of confirmed active case count is a ~10 day lagging indicator of actual current growth

Great work by @IgnacioChiazzo! How much will your app improve when you migrate from page-based to cursor-based pagination?
I spent the weekend working on a project. I finally got something working!. You can compare the difference between using ShopifyAPI Page-based and Cursor-based pagination in your shop. #shopify #shopifyapi @ShopifyEng @ShopifyDevs #shopifyRestAPI github.com/ignacio-chiazzo/S…

Announcements made at the conference: - types are worked on in a collaboration with the Ruby core team; - types will be part of Ruby 3 stdlib source! - sorbet.org - website is out! - try IDE-like experience at sorbet.run/
