@ultimike Hey, I didn't know you won the Aaron Winborn award! That's massive! And VERY well deserved! Thanks for being my agent since 2014 with the #Drupal Module Upgrader!

“I know some people are concerned that Drupal is declining. I feel the opposite. Every time I talk with people actually building digital experiences, they tell me that as a tool, Drupal is one of the most effective CMSs in the world, if not the most effective.”

Tim Doyle, @drupalassoc CEO, in an article on The Drop Times @thedroptimes

Unfortunately, both things can be true :/

For #drupal module developers, here’s a simple and clear example of using DeprecationHelper to support both deprecated and non-deprecated code in the same version of a module.

Wow - this is fascinating. ChatGPT masquerading as Drush (the #drupal command line tool).

May the fourth be with you.

Here's a bit of trivia that includes two of my favorite things: #StarWars and hair-metal from the 80s: Jon Bon Jovi (Bongiovi) sang on the Star Wars Christmas album before becoming a megastar.

#drupal Pitch-burg was a success.

Curious why there hasn’t been a new round announced yet. Maybe something will be announced at DrupalCon Portland next week?

The final episode of Skills Upgrade - a Talking Drupal podcast where I mentor Chad Hester in his pursuit of learning #drupal 10 module development.

Spoiler alert - Chad had a MR accepted for a well-known contrib module!

Woot! #drupal 11 will likely have a new admin navigation menu, and with any luck, so will Drupal 10.3!

Great work by @ckrina and the rest of the contributors!

“My hope is that Drupal-specific hosting providers will address the limitations described earlier.”

Couldn’t agree more.

“Your mileage may vary.”

Nice, sober, realistic advice about using AI for #drupal development from Brent Schultz from Third and Grove. Lots of good tips in here.

It’s been a long long long time since I had the #drupal core Book module enabled on any site I’ve built. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

If you’ve spent any time learning #Symfony over the last few years, then you’ve likely learned something from @weaverryan

He recently announced that he has terminal brain cancer and he and his family need our help.

Nice simple example of replacing jQuery.parents() with a CSS :has from @nod_ (Théodore Biadala):

This is useful for #drupal front-end developers trying to reduce/remove their dependencies on jQuery.

Take a few minutes and fill out this survey about #drupal bookmarking to help Pedro Cambra @pcambra work on his university degree:

https://buff.ly/3WixEoi

I don’t use Drupal shortcuts, nor do I extensively use browser bookmarks. For client work, I put all relevant links in a per-client note in Apple Notes.

Survey closes April 30.

The work that the #drupal Help system contributors do is unappreciated by most of us who use Drupal - luckily, it is easy to change this. Imagine if each of us just spent a few minutes a week updating a documentation page…

Thanks to @ambermatz and the other contributors!
