Coder’s Eye

I have this wonderful client who hired me to build a world-class e-commerce site for him. He gave me carte blanche to use whatever framework I wished, so I chose Satchmo, an ecommerce app for Django.

This was a bit gutsy, as I don’t think there are any live Satchmo stores in the wild just yet, but I’m confident it was a good choice. Every existing system I’ve explored has been either wild spaghetti code (looking at you OsCommerce) or else inflexible in ways that would be unacceptable to my client.

So, I’ve been working flat-out on his site, and in so doing I’ve been doing my best to help the framework along. Just this last week, I set a personal record for contributions to an Open Source app, with three distinct patchsets. All were accepted, woohoo!
