That person is commenting about another company, not Shopify. Though at one point in time our test suite did run under 10 minutes (across ~100 agents). Ref: https://buildkite.com/case-studies/shopify

I'm working remotely for a month right now and needed a monitor there to work. I had two ideas: 1. bring one in a suitcase on my flight 2. just buy one locally once I got there I decided to just bring my existing 27" monitor and w

I don't really know what that $74k average number is based on, but it's nowhere near accurate for the large companies they've mentioned in Toronto (which is what matters since the article is about them). I work for a tech com

Jon Bois is a genius in my opinion as well so I'm glad someone wrote this. There aren't many links to his videos in this article, but here's one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4AhABManTw .

I have this exact problem all the time in downtown Toronto. There's a even a few intersections where I know it's going to be bad (University/Richmond, Yonge/Adelaide, Front/George). So obviously some signals at inte

Why do you think this is a zero-sum game? That's only if the number of car drivers is equal to transit riders + cyclists (and maybe some pedestrians). Of course that equation is nowhere near equal. The entire reason behind the pilot is
