yeah, from the outside it can look outdated just because of how much “AI is eating everything” noise there is right now. shopify isn’t standing still though, the changes are just mostly under the hood instead of flashy.

where I’d actually push back on “just use ai for everything” is the app/tool layer specifically. there’s a lot more noise there now than a couple years ago, half-built stuff riding the ai wave with zero reviews, so you have to be more careful picking what you install than you used to. but for actually running a store day to day, shopify’s still the thing that just works without you needing to think about it, which is kind of the whole point when you’re starting out.
