Drupal

Below I’m going to lay out some rough visions… some good, and some bad. The first three ideas are to help with securing funding (which IMO is the biggest challenge of the DA) and the second two ideas are some ways to spend that money that will grow the community.

This past weekend I attended my 20th DrupalCon (holy 💩!). This year, Dries announced a new “Starshot” initiative during the requisite “Driesnote” keynote.

Have you noticed sometimes after a website loads, elements can pop in and push everything else around? This pet peeve of mine is known as “jank”, and it annoys the hell out of me.

Summary of DrupalCon Lille + Engagement story! 💙🤍❤️

I wrote an article for Smashing Magazine that just got published that details the work that goes into improving the Umami profile’s largest contentful paint (LCP) metric.

Drupal 10 comes with a number of brand new Twig filters. In this article, I’ll walk you through using two of these to set the fetchpriority attribute on an image.

Pittsburgh was a DrupalCon for the ages. Talking with friends on the way home, we all agreed that this year felt more natural and “drupal” than last year in Portland (which was the first after the pandemic shutdown).

Next week I’m attending DrupalCon Pittsburgh and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m arriving late on Friday night to attend a Drupal Association Board of Directors retreat over the weekend, and I’ll be staying an entire week to take in the ‘con.

New to Drupal 10.1 (coming this June) is a group of settings that will make Drupal front-enders' lives a lot easier (especially newbies). We can now control Twig caching (and disable render, and page caches) from the UI!

This was my very first time to MidCamp, and my first time to Chicago since DrupalCon in 2011.
