When Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke issued an internal memo calling AI a “baseline skill,” it sent rippiles across the industry. In this solo episode, we break down what the AI mandate actually says, why it's happening now, and how teams can apply the same principles to drive smarter, faster product development. Whether you're skeptical or inspired by the move, there's plenty to unpack about leadership, culture, and what it really takes to scale AI adoption. You'll hear six specific actions from the memo that are already shaping how Shopify operates—from prototyping to peer reviews—and tactical ideas for applying each one inside your own organization. With references to historical moments from Apple and Amazon, this episode puts the memo in broader context and makes the case for why now might be the time to stop experimenting with AI and start committing. Inside the episode... Why Shopify's CEO believes AI is now a mandatory skill How the company is embedding AI into its prototyping phase What it means to include AI usage in performance reviews Tactics for encouraging peer learning and internal sharing A case for self-directed experimentation with structured demos How to get your team building value with AI—without waiting on infosec The role of leadership in modeling AI adoption Historical parallels from Amazon and Apple Practical ways to explore AI before requesting new headcount A reminder that AI isn't just for technical folks Mentioned in this episode Shopify AI memo by CEO Tobi Lütke: https://x.com/tobi/status/1909231499448401946 Nike's internal AI design tools: https://about.nike.com/en/stories/nike-design-athlete-imagined-revolution Unlock the full potential of your product team with Integral's player coaches, experts in lean, human-centered design.

In this episode of The New Stack Makers, Rob Skillington, co-founder and CTO of Chronosphere, discusses the challenges engineers face in building tools for their organizations. Skillington emphasizes that the "build or buy" decision oversimplifies the issue of tooling and suggests that understanding the abstractions of a project is crucial. Engineers should consider where to build and where to buy, creating solutions that address the entire problem. Skillington advises against short-term thinking, urging innovators to consider the long-term landscape.Drawing from his experience at Uber, Skillington highlights the importance of knowing the audience and customer base, even when they are colleagues. He shares a lesson learned when building a visualization platform for engineers at Uber, where understanding user adoption as a key performance indicator upfront could have improved the project's outcome.Skillington also addresses the "not invented here syndrome," noting its prevalence in organizations like Microsoft and its potential impact on tool adoption. He suggests that younger companies, like Uber, may be more inclined to explore external solutions rather than building everything in-house. The conversation provides insights into Skillington's experiences and the considerations involved in developing internal tools and platforms.Learn more from The New Stack about Software Engineering, Observability, and Chronosphere:Cloud Native Observability: Fighting Rising Costs, IncidentsA Guide to Measuring Developer Productivity 4 Key Observability Best Practices

Melissa Perri welcomes John Athayde to this episode of the Product Thinking Podcast. John is a design team leader, strategist, and individual contributor, as well as VP of Design at PowerFleet. John and Melissa discuss how he shifted focus to the importance of internal tools at Living Social, how he got buy-in from leadership to prioritize internal tools, the process of creating a design system for a scaling organization, the benefits of design systems, design systems vs. style guides, and the tools and org structure he recommends to get set up for success.  Here are some key points you'll hear Melissa and John talk about: What led John to PowerFleet. John shares how he started pushing for improved internal controls. “As I was working on the front-end screens, [I realized] we could make this a little better.” He convinced some product people and engineers, and they collaborated to do a bunch of mockups. They presented them to the CTO, who gave them his blessing. Designers should know how to code, or at least know how code happens, according to John. “You can't design a building without knowing how a building is built.” You can use product thinking to design your internal tools. It's less of just a design issue and more of an issue of creating a product, which is a complex internal operating system. This is necessary to actually scale. A UX engineer is a front-end developer who is primarily focused on the look and feel as opposed to functionality. They are the bridge between functionality and design. It's a person with the design sensibility who can speak code and help implement, but they're not doing the implementation. Now that almost everyone has some kind of experience with software, UX and UI have become more essential. Consumers are going to subconsciously compare their experience with your user interface with others. Every company needs a source of truth for their operations, that is, documentation for all the relevant information needed to continue operations. In the event of key people leaving, the work they did would still be there for the next person to take over. We often take for granted how important the role of a UX designer is in a high-growth organization. Resources John Athayde on LinkedIn | Twitter | Website

Interview with Zoe Sobin, Senior Engineering Manager at HubSpot. She tells her story of turning an engineering project into a centralized platform solution and how he managed communication, prioritization and every other challenge along the way. https://codingsans.com/engineering-management-newsletter?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=platforms (Sign up to the Level-up Engineering newsletter!) In this interview we're covering: Signs that you need a platform Getting buy-in for a platform product Communication in platform engineering Prioritization in platform engineering Necessary skills for platform engineers Excerpt from the interview: "The original idea for our project was to have one place for all the core reports. It didn't start out as a platform engineering project; we just realized along the way that we couldn't easily plug other reports into one place. We needed to build an end-to-end tool, and we had an opportunity to turn it into a centralized platform that scaled across data types, report types and teams. We built a core reporting platform first, then we worked on our own customer facing applications on top of it. Afterwards, we started talking to teams that had point solutions for reporting about getting these supported by our infrastructure. The difficulty of building a tool for everyone is that it won't be perfect for anyone. For example, the email team knows what type of reports their customers prefer, and the centralized tool may not fit their needs. In platform engineering, you have to compromise on some functions and build a central solution that works for 80-90% of use cases." https://codingsans.com/blog/platform-engineering?utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=platforms (Click here to read the full interview!)

This podcast will discuss insurance company requirements in conducting internal risk management reviews and systems for measuring, monitoring and mitigating that risk. This process is called an Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA); it assesses the adequacy of a company's risk management and the current and prospective solvency positions under normal and severe stress scenarios. Utilizing ORSA, an insurer will analyze reasonably, foreseeable and relevant material risks (i.e., underwriting, credit, market, operational, liquidity risks, etc.) that could impact its ability to meet its obligations, and then will report those findings to regulators.
