When I read Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke’s recent internal memo about making AI fluency a baseline expectation, I felt both energized and concerned.

He’s right: AI is a game changer. But we also need to talk about what this shift might cost us if we’re not careful.

Here’s what I think the memo gets wrong—or at least doesn’t go far enough on—and what we can do about it.

Es ist und war fatal, dass sich Gewerkschaften nicht um die Menschen OHNE Arbeitsstelle gekümmert haben.

Das wird sich in einer nie dagewesenen Form rächen, dass mir jetzt schon schwindelig wird: Shopify machts vor: Dein Konkurrent um deinen Job ist dort nu eine AI. Und zwar nicht morgen, ab sofort.

New features in #Shopify Theme Vitals (plus March data is live):

NEW: All themes with any data points in the latest data show up. You still need at least 50 data points to see #webperf data, but you can see current URL counts, market rank, AND…

NEW: Theme versions. Shows the context behind performance numbers (e.g. the latest version has a perf improvement, but shops haven’t updated yet so the numbers don't reflect it).

Tom’s Hardware: Shopify CEO: teams must prove AI can’t do a task before asking for new hires, resources. “The memo outlines six things: Everyone is expected to use AI in Shopify; all projects must use AI during the prototyping phase; AI use is included in performance and peer reviews; everyone must share what they learned using AI; teams must first check if something can be done using AI […]

#Shopify Employee Promoted for #AI That Generates Anti-AI Excuses
https://isglitch.com/article/2025-04-10-shopify-employee-promoted

Okay team,this your CEO

We're all gonna use some Dumb Shit.

"Why" you might ask? Well, I saw a report on Fox News & a man in a nice suit said everyone with a big penis does Dumb Shit so we're all gonna do it now because it's the Future.

I know it might suck. I know it's completely unrelated to most of your jobs. But I heard a trend and I would sooner run this company into the ground and micromanage every second of your life than seem uncool to people I will never meet.

#Shopify #CEO says staffers need to prove #jobs can't be done by #AI before asking for more #headcount
Lutke also said there's a "fundamental expectation" across Shopify that employees embrace AI in their daily work, saying it has been a "multiplier" of productivity for those who have used it.
The company, which sells web-based software that helps online retailers manage sales and run their operations, will factor AI usage into #performancereviews, he added.

In 2011, Amazon had the Yegge memo.
Now, Shopify has this: a clear directive from Tobi Lütke that reflexive AI use is the new minimum.

A generational shift—if we don’t mess it up.
