It's more than 50... I mean just look at the number of API endpoints across multiple APIs both internal and external. It's easily hundreds then add sys ops, dev ops, dev content writing (docs/guides), frontend, design, pm, support, etc.

I feel like most of you all are unaware of the complexity and scope of Shopify...

I've seen companies where a team was managing 10 services and companies where a team was managing one endpoint

The former had some stressed principal engineers, the latter was terribly inefficient and people had 1% productivity.

There is a happy medium, but nobody can manage a large headcounts without splitting in a lot of tiny products.

The core product of shopify is not something that needs 10k engineers for maintenance, even if they can afford that.

Shopify plus allow you to adjust the checkout styling and template.

I wasn't going to pay hundreds of dollars per month to change the colour of a button.

I did mention that when they said some rubbish about it being for security etc. If it's insecure then why allow it if I pay more?

But yeah, you're right. I guess they lied to me twice.

To be clear, they did say they'd change it for me if I signed up to any plan.

We use new relic to track backend stats in addition to frontend performance.

GA for frontend.

So you're like the Wordpress of icons.

What if they provide the code samples for download?

Right, but we are talking about a communication platform which inherently should be crossplatform

"Should be" does not equate to "no future"

I know this is purely anecdotal, but nobody around me with an iOS device uses Messages. Everyone is using Whatsapp, or Telegram.

Being a programmer in NYC, I love it and wouldn't trade living anywhere else at the moment. I guess to each their own.

I think I'd like living in NYC, actually.

technically it's Twitch Interactive which kind of shows you the company's focus and growth.

I like the idea of something like 24hour retention. If you just missed a broadcast by say an hour or live in another timezone +12hours then maybe watching it later within the 24 hour grace period would be good.

I guess it depends on the user. For me, the .gallery domain was incredible as my site, MinecraftGallery.com can now use Minecraft.Gallery
