Here at Scentbird, we wear lots of hats. They’re mostly witch on Halloween, but some of us wear fangs instead. Or better yet, expose them to the public. And especially on Halloween, we share them with everyone else. Without further ado, we present you the uncensored Confessions of a Shopify Developer, a.k.a. Count Dracula, Valentin Lako.
“On Halloween night, under the moonlit skies of Transylvania, the real Dracula rises—not for blood, but for… website optimization. With centuries of experience at my command, I’m no ordinary developer. By day, I might appear like any other Shopify dev, but by night, my knowledge is as ancient as my fangs and twice as sharp. Just ask the countless successful experiments I’ve run since before mortals even knew what “click-through rate” was…….
As midnight falls boldly over Transylvania, I prepare for my nocturnal pursuits with a touch of Le Male Elixir by Jean Paul Gaultier – a scent as bold and complex as the shadows I drift through. Rich and warm, with a hint of mystery, it lingers in the night air, leaving whispers in my wake and adding an unforgettable depth to every step under the Transylvanian moon.
Stepping out of my crypt, cape swirling, I scan the digital horizon. Hundreds of years have shown me every trick (and a few illusions) in the book. Tonight, my mission is clear: resurrect dormant page elements, fine-tune layouts, and ensure every pixel serves a purpose. I glide through the digital darkness, leaving optimized images and CTAs in my wake, my cloak billowing behind me like a legend in action.
Midway through my work, a group of mortals crosses my path, laughing about my “Dracula costume.” Costume? I raise one impeccable eyebrow, my fangs catching the light just so. “I am the real Dracula,” I reply with a smirk. But mortals laugh, patting me on the shoulder and strolling away, none the wiser.
As dawn breaks, I retire to my crypt (aka my desk), cape and fangs safely stored until next Halloween. Another night’s work well done—tests validated, experiments thriving, and optimizations so precise they’re practically immortal. The legend of the Shopify Dev Vampire lives on… 
Happy Halloween everyone, may your haunt for the fragrances that make you happy be as prosperous as Valentin’s nocturnal pursuits.
