Today I'm looking over the fence to see what our #Drupal friends are up to these days at #DrupalDevDays #DDD23
First impression before the first talk: I am so spoiled by the #WordPress community when it comes to diversity. 😱
First talk/keynote: "Keynote: Keeping Drupal competitive on the modern web"
At a #WordCamp I'd expect a keynote of that title to be high level and focusing on features and UX. Here: Hard tech.
As a dev myself: Not against it, just a very different experience. Also, to be fair it is probably called Drupal *Developer* Days for a reason. 😀
Next talk: "Automatic Updates!".
Something we've had for a long time in #WordPress. But interesting to see how #Drupal manages it with seemingly much more diverse technical setups, the need to run composer etc. Also interesting what was done to secure the supply chain: https://theupdateframework.io/ https://github.com/php-tuf

Face it, a lot of great content is trapped in pages and an amorphous post content field. Looking at an example project we’ll see how a clean content structure can simplify content management and ge…

Feeling very strong #WordPress block editor vibes here. To me the ideas sound like someone came up with a lot of core concepts of the block editor seemingly independently. Really funny to see convergence of ideas. 😃
Okay I wasn' t the only one, somebody else asked how this compares to Gutenberg. 😁
The speaker hadn't looked at it, but said he will. The thing I like about all of this is that when people end up with similar solutions for similar problems it usually validates the solution.
