It Worked on My Machine (Literally)
TRMNL plugins can fetch their data a few different ways. The one that fit was polling: TRMNL pings a URL on a schedule, gets back some JSON, and renders it with a Liquid template. So I needed a small server that returns my reading data as JSON, plus the templates to lay it out on the screen.

Introduction to LiquidPages
LiquidPages is a middleware-based library that uses Fluid under the hood to parse and render Liquid templates. Liquid is a flexible and safe templating language originally created by Shopify, and it's a great fit for content-driven sites where templates may be edited by non-developers.

The just-say-no engineer was a ZIRP phenomenon
The CEO of Shopify is filing PRs against their public repos: https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/pull/2056
(To be fair, he did build liquid and much of Shopify himself at the start of the company so he's not exactly inexperienced, but still.)

Migrating My Portfolio to Jekyll: Why and How
Liquid Template Language

"The human might be asleep." One line in Karpathy's program.md started 100 automatic experiments per night.
The surprising part is where it spread. Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke applied the pattern to Liquid, a template engine running in production for 20 years. He reported a 53% reduction in parse+render time in PR #2056. LangChain CEO hwchase17 used it to optimize agent quality scores. Ole Lehmann reported raising a Claude Code skill eval score from 56% to 92%. This is not an ML research tool anymore. It is a pattern for any task with a measurable metric.

I tried Karpathy's Autoresearch on an old research project
Tobi from Shopify used a variant of autoresearch to optimize the Liquid template engine, and found a 53% speedup after ~120 experiments: https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/pull/2056
I wrote up some more notes on that here: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Mar/13/liquid/

Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke Against Liquid, Shopify's OSS Ruby Template Engine
Seems the headline isn't accurate as it implied he is against liquid. May be better to use - Shopify/liquid: Performance: 53% faster parse+render, 61% fewer allocations.
-The autoresearch pattern; Is this like a brute force AI trial and error to performance improvement for agent?
- 53% faster combined parse+render time, , 61% fewer object allocations[1]
Surprisingly he got the fewer object allocation right, but it isn't 53% faster as it would implied 1.53x the speed. In reality it is 53% reduction ( or half ) in rendering time which is close to 2x faster.
At the scale of Shopify, I wonder how much saving would make with a 2x faster rendering software. I am thinking if it would hit a million dollar per year.
>With GC consuming 74% of total CPU time
I guess there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Liquid-rust: Liquid templating for Rust
This is a Rust port of the Ruby implementation which was popularized by Jekyll, so it just does whatever was done in the Ruby implementation.
