today's my 1st anniversary at Shopify - it's borderline insane how much the role of software engineer has shifted in a year. Been in this company genuinely feels like living at the bleeding edge at what coding is shaping up to be:

Literally today (not making this up) I was coding our Shop mobile apps with my local agents, in parallel reviewing/tophatting a colleague's PR, hit a bug while testing it, spun up a different agent to help me debug it, figured out it was a backend issue,

used a fourth agent in Slack to dig into that (River, you might have heard about it from Tobi here x.com/tobi/status... ) and via it I made a PR to fix this backend issue (in an area of code I've never touched before) and then a different CI reviewer agent flagged something

that then River went ahead and took care of until the PR was ready to go and CI was green. It did loop on that PR basically unsupervised, while I was digging deeper with a secondary River instance into the details and impact of the bug across prod, looking through data.
