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:
