Re:Shopify moves back to Native from React Native on Friday September 11, 2026 @07:32AM (#49656665)
I read the article and couldn't understand it. I asked Gemini; Pareto things definitely sounds like science.

I read the article again:

- We had bugs. We let agents try to fix the bugs. True positive (fixed bug) is the F1 score. Here are the results for different models. Fixes worked 50% of the time.

- We needed to find a query. Without a knowledge graph it took 20mins, and didn't work. We used a knowledge graph. It was fast (20s), and found the right thing.

I gave my LLM my summary of the article and apparently I "hit the nail on the head".

I have no clue if I learned anything.

You’re completely right. Everything is perfect.

Except my phone is still really hot

Coincidence? It’s not like I am using any new features. Literally just a web browser. So?

Step one - "upload your data" and we'll do cool stuff

Ok. How do I upload my data? Can't find any link.

Sign up for our newsletter. Nope.

And we went to Stanford? I don't care.

I'm not trying to be nasty, though it probably comes of like that. Assume I want to get started with your product and invite me in...

I worked a team where this happened. Black was a godsend

Another step in the end of property. You don't own anything. You license it.
Assume it has a solution. Try that.

It's a regression to the mean argument. Tall people won't have even taller children. They'll have shorter children because the average must be maintained. So very exceptional people will have less exceptional children. Giraffes disagree.

Often I ask myself at the start of the meeting "what are we trying to achieve". Am wondering if I've been missing the point.
