Recorded live at Shopify's DotDev, this special is two sessions in one. First, Ben Sehl walks Karl and Taylor through the future of Liquid: why the language is being reshaped for the agentic era, the new Partials tag that replaces the section rendering API, arrays and Booleans finally landing, agents.md and design.md guidance, and the Tailwind partnership.


Then we sit down with three Shopify Build Award winners, Sammy of Discount Kit, Harel of EasyTeam, and Emili of Zapiet, to talk about what it actually takes to win, betting early on POS, building for Sidekick, and what's next.
