AI Skills are Table Stakes: Shopify CEO

Shopify CEO shared an internal memo to stress on the importance of leveraging AI to employees.

He mentioned that the default expectation was to use AI to accelerate product & software development. Shopify already offers employees access to AI coding tools such as Cursor & GitHub Co-pilot.
