I think it is difficult to disagree that test driven development is bad thing, but I completely understand why most #drupal folks don’t practice it. What takes time (IMHO) is getting into the mindset of it and getting _good_ at it.

DrupalCon Portland will likely be remembered for the #drupal Starshot announcement from @dries. Now that I (and others) have had a few days to think about what it means, I have some thoughts:

“In an ‘airing of grievances’ one long-time community member quipped: There are approximately 38,000 (rounded up) contributed modules for Layout Builder. There are hundreds of blog posts about the right ones to use.”

One of the coolest demos I saw at DrupalCon Portland was “Collaborating Editing in Drupal Core” from the Palantir.net folks. Think Google Docs-style collaboration on a node edit page. - in every field, no less!

2-minute video of the demo: youtube.com/watch?v=U9WkzT…

The #Drupal IXP Community Initiative aims to incentivize organizations to hire inexperienced developers by rewarding them with community contribution credits. We’d love your opinion on what an inexperienced Drupal developer should actually know!

If you're in the #drupal community, you probably know this to be true, but here's a couple of data points as well as some action items to get things going in the right direction:

Interesting look into the size of the #drupal community based purely on stats from LinkedIn from thedroptimes:

#Drupal core is getting smaller - not a bad thing, IMHO. The Forum, Action UI, and Statistics modules will not be in #drupal core 11.

Fantastic blog post from Phil Norton where he provides an overview of various #drupal contrib modules related to user logins. Even if you’ve been around Drupal for awhile, I’ll bet everyone will learn something from this article:

Interesting tidbit from the #DrupalCon Portland 2024 module development workshop that I taught: of the 21 students who were there at the beginning of class, almost half of them used remote IDEs almost exclusively!

6 students used local #DDEV or #Lando day-to-day.

It’s great to see a #drupal sprint in Greece, but I’d love to know more about it - what types of issues did they work on? Core? Contributed modules? How many people attended?

Where are the rest of the details!?

To the fine folks at WebWash, the title of this video and blog post are a bit misleading (IMHO) and maybe should change it (add the phrase “early prototype” somewhere). It’s great that you’re providing this info, but it doesn’t feel right to me.

Gwendolyn and I will be attending DrupalCamp Cemaes (Wales) in a few weeks. Looking forward to meeting new folks and possibly seeing some of our UK-based DrupalEasy @drupaleasy alumni!

This is a swell use-case for using the #drupal ECA module to augment an editorial workflow:

Really well-written article by @DustinLeBlanc from Capellic about #drupal front-end performance with a nice example of troubleshooting and solving a caching issue:

This blog post is useful to anyone who does Drupal module development!

Removing the web dot config file from Drupal core - this makes sense. I can't think of the last time I've heard or seen of a #drupal site running on IIS.

There’s no reason why this can’t just be a documentation page - see buff.ly/3WGcGAc

I know someone (well, several people actually) who will likely add the #drupal Beer O’Clock module to their personal web sites as soon as they read this post.

Fun blog post by Adam Evertsson

Neat! One of the most recognizable buildings in the world is using #drupal :

Great explainer by Gábor Hojtsy on how he updated a contrib module to #Drupal 11 using only a web browser:

Seriously, the quality of our community’s tools just keep getting better and better a such rapid pace!

Nice reminder of the various output formats that the #drupal command line tool Drush provides by James Williams

I can’t remember ever needing to use them, but this article has me thinking…
