Hey @platformsh, a few notes regarding Retrofit in your D7 EOL blog

Retrofit isn't a module; it's a package – no typical Drupal module "installation" is required.

I also see it as a long-term solution for organizations to migrate custom D7 code to D10+.

I am absolutely horrible at writing session proposals.

Plenty of ideas. Horrible at delivery of the proposal.

I know there is a way to unlock access to a private Discord server via Patreon or Twitch subscriptions, but has anyone seen or done this via GitHub Sponsors?

My sister-in-law is visiting Prague in a few months (totally forgot which month.) Does anyone have recommendations I could pass along to her for places to visit and things to try?

Happy weekend! The pool is clean and I'm sure Wisconsin weather will crap out on us. But time to kick back and finish Fog & Fireflies by @hestenet

I love how I gave myself a "Ready to publish" moderation state for my blog, assuming my future self would somehow have more than one blog ready to publish at any given time.

And not ad-hoc write them the day before or the morning of my weekly publication.

Discord is so awkward to use.

I don't know why, but it is impossible for me to feel comfortable with its interface, and I can't figure out why.

I'm sick of having to unplug and plug my monitors when I want to use my work or personal laptop. Does anyone have recommendations on a KVM switch or something similar?

I have the Logitech MX series which allows toggling between the two.

For tomorrow's live stream, I will work on adding support to have phpstan-deprecation-rules treat the group "legacy" as deprecated.

It's a Symfony-ism from PHPUnit bridge to silence deprecations caused by the test.

"Instead of viewing technology as deterministic, we can see it as probabilistic, recognizing that the current situation were in significantly favours the haves over the have-nots, but also understanding it doesn't have to be this way." - @theblockchainsocialist in their book Blockchain Radicals.

I'm really digging this line. Found myself reading it a few times over.

Thanks for the shout-out about Retrofit @talkingdrupal.social!

And yes, it is amazing and horrifying at the same time.

I haven't messed around with a new language in a while. It used to be a New Year's tradition.

I thought about checking out Flutter/Dart again. Maybe Swift or Kotlin.

Any suggestions?

Previous years have been Rust, Go, Flutter, React/Angular.

I think my tattoo will be the combo of the CTRL+F or ⌘ + F keys; for continuous finding/searching.

Most key combos are related to quitting or undoing something. I want a positive connotation. Now to decide macOS key or not 🫠

I saved up to visit what would have been my first Drupal Dev Days in 2020, but then COVID canceled that.

After watching some sessions from this year's event, I have some serious FOMO. Time to try and save up for a 2024 visit!

There are various things I love about #Drupal that just work and I don't need to think about.

Like uploading files if there is an existing file of the same name.

• EXISTS_REPLACE: replace the file
• EXISTS_RENAME: append an increment on file name
• EXISTS_ERROR do nothing

This toot is brought to you by: I am currently fiddling with implementing file uploads in Laravel and now I need to build this logic myself.

One solution would be leveraging a hash, but I don't want to.

Working on a post-DrupalCon blog post, but in the meantime, you can watch the recording of my presentation "Save time upgrading from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 using Retrofit." There are about 25 minutes of slides and 30 minutes of discussion. #drupalcon
