Firing/Letting someone go is one of the most difficult decisions for management. Today I sent a goodbye email to one of our developers. I tried to be very much polite and positive and also explained about the reason of this difficult decision.
Every weekend I am planning to write some open source code snippets for Shopify platform. Today I’ll be demonstrating how to create Donation product in shopify which will have option to add desired donation amount. To accomplish this we’ll create a donation product with different variants (with single option “Amount”) each variant will have different price. And we’ll create a product template product.donation.liquid and assign this template to the newly created product. and we’ll make small changes to cart page template (to hide quantity selector and price option for variant).
Few days ago I was working on a Shopify project and I made some customization in the liquid files to add quantity limiter (to variants). Currently I have setup this only for “Maximum” quantity (i.e. customer can not purchase product/variants more than the defined limit). I believe there are some application available for this purpose but this functionality can be easily achieved without using any paid app.
People count the leaves of a flower to guess whether the other person loves or not. And Programmer counts the lines of code. 🙂
After reading that blog post, I realized that breaks are so very much important in life. And the very fact you should learn how to say no in life, politely though. It has been more than three years since I went out for a long vacation or a sabbatical for that matter.

In last 30 days, I handled two shopify projects. It was awesome experience working on shopify again. I must say Timber framework is awesome. Also I was able to complete this projects in budgeted hours and was able to launch these projects on scheduled due date. Feeling Awesome 🙂
Life is going so fast. It feels like there are so many things to do: Project priorities, study, learning, career, etc,. But when you stop, think and close your eyes, give yourself a break to think just about yourself, your inner happiness, the real life, emotions, something strangely hits you and you begin to wonder if you are missing so much in this busy life.
These days, I am working for more than 10 hours. I am actually enjoying this. I have been doing development, helping our PPC team with shopping feeds, providing training to our new team members, handling project management, and researching ways to improve our development processes. Work is fun !!! I love it.
