This! Agree completely and having worked in different companies, including huge enterprise, Shopify sounds like a great company to me based on this post! When a company grows it starts to function like an enterprise business and being aware of it and managing it is just great management and it sounds like that’s what Shopify is doing (long learning period expected, transparent leadership).

True. But this is why Goliaths get run over by Davids. When it take half a year's salary to begin getting return, that's six months of high risk. And then when your product cycles are six to twelve months, you're slow and venerable.
Full disclosure: I do some Shopify development. It's a love hate relationship. There are things that are great. But there are things where I stop and think "For Ford's sake??!!?? Really??" This article explains the excess of the latter.
