Figured maybe today I would try and look at Drupal, and install a copy on my sandbox/staging server. While looking over all the changes in the time since I have been out of the web design side of things... looks like Drupal is having some affinity to AI?
Umm........ I am not sure how to feel about it. I am already kinda dreading the thought
Cheppers: Are recipes replacing Drupal installation profiles? #drupal

For many years, installation profiles have been the main way to set up a Drupal site. They define which modules are enabled, what configuration is applied, and often include demo content to help teams get started quickly. Well-known distributions have relied on this approach to deliver ready-made solutions for specific use cases. That approach made sense when most Drupal projects started from scratch. But that isn’t always the case today. Many teams are working with existing sites that are live and need changes. These might be new features, performance improvements, or updated design elements. Installation profiles are not built for that kind of workflow. Once they are applied during setup, they can’t be reused later.

In 2024 I became a certified coach to round out the informal coaching that I’ve been providing for many years. I’ve used that training to support a variety of people in several different volunteer communities, including folks who attended our Leadership Training for Open Source course last year. In an effort to support the Drupal community more broadly I’m offering some free sessions for Drupalers.
