Shopify is such a good citizen.

We work hard to be. We posted an accompanying blog post about how we see our place in OSS: https://shopify.engineering/shopify-open-source-philosophy

Nice! I especially like “it improves engineering skills” - if an organizations engineers are never doing anything new their skills stagnate.

Your HN handle been a pretty vocal ambassador of Pivotal/VMware Tanzu on a lot of threads that the employee-employer association has become permanent in my lizard brain, which is why I had to do a double-take when I read your comment [plus the fact that I'm up a bit late ...]

It only just dawned on me that you might have switched your employer allegiance to Shopify :)

I was vocally at Pivotal->VMware for a total of 7 years, so a reasonable enough association to form. I've been at Shopify for a little over a year now.

Trudeau government tyranny? Give me a break

Tabular-Iceberg · on July 6, 2022

Judging from the little I can see in spite of the paywall, it doesn't seem like Shopify did anything particularly nefarious for Trudeau.

Unless there's more to the story I don't think it's fair to assign guilt by association because someone else did nefarious things in Trudeau's name.
