The Tobi AI Memo: Shopify's Bezos Moment? | TGT #13
In this episode, we're gonna discuss the leaked internal memo from Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke that outlines a bold new direction for AI integration within the organization.
Let's unpack the 10 key insights from the internal message—an emerging "AI mandate" that echoes the impact of Jeff Bezos’ famous 2002 API directive at Amazon. As the tech world moves toward AI-native workflows, Shopify’s internal alignment around AI could signal a broader shift in how modern product and engineering teams operate.
We'll also discuss:
AI-Native Workflows at Scale
A closer look at how AI is being adopted as core infrastructure across large organizations, accelerating prototyping, decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration.
Security in the Stack: “The S in MCP Stands for Security”
A closer look to the trending Hacker News thread that challenges assumptions about secure systems, with a focus of the foundational importance of security in modern infrastructure.
AI is no longer optional—it’s becoming infrastructure. From how we code to how we collaborate, this shift is redefining team dynamics, tooling choices, and developer productivity across the board.
Join us as we break down these game-changing trends and discuss what it all means for the future of software engineering.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
