If you're considering using any part of the #Drupal AI eco-system in a future site-build, then you'd be crazy not to leverage the Context Control Center. Granted, it is in its infancy, but it is clearly the type of thing that will be table-stakes very shortly. 🤖🎯🔮
If you haven't tried it yet, the new #DDEV TUI (Terminal User Interface) that shipped with v1.25.1 is pretty sweet. 🖥️✨

I'll be at #Drupal @midcamp in Chicago on May 12 teaching a half-day "Responsible Drupal AI Basics" workshop - join me! 🤖🎓🇺🇸
https://www.midcamp.org/events/2026/sessions/responsible-drupal-ai-basics
Explore how AI can enhance - not replace - your Drupal workflow in this hands-on half-day workshop. Focused on the Drupal AI module ecosystem, you'll learn setup options, auditing tools, and practical techniques for responsible content generation. Topics include AI Automators and Field Widget Actions, with real-world examples throughout. Prerequisites: basic prompt engineering knowledge, site-building skills, and a paid API account with OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic.
The #Drupal AI initiative made several announcements last month at DrupalCon Chicago including an update on sponsorships, marketing leads, and their plan for the next few months. 🤖🌟

"Forgetting the base of the pyramid is a mistake."
Wise words from @Camoa about his relentless pursuit of making sure the #Drupal community doesn't forget about non-enterprise users. 🔺

Two absolutely amazing live music performances from the past week. I’ve watched each about five times now.
"AI gets you to a prototype fast. #Drupal gives it the foundations that last."

IMHO, without the solid foundations, organizations will be playing whack-a-mole with the gazillion lines of AI slop that are currently being churned out. 🪤🤖
There's a lot of value in AI as a tool in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. 🛠️
I recently learned that site templates available on the #Drupal marketplace (https://new.drupal.org/browse/site-templates) are all based on Drupal CMS - this seems to be a (current) requirement of being in the pilot-launch of the marketplace. 🛒
I was checking out one of the templates via the new installer with our alumni and it was a bit confusing at first because the installer was branded as "Drupal CMS" even though I was trying to install one of the templates. 🤔💡
I recently finished up a private long-form #Drupal basics course for a development team from a financial services firm. Over the past few years, the vast majority of our beginner students are from organizations who contract with us to train their developer teams. 🏢
For me, the alarm bells are ringing that we aren't seeing more individuals seeking out beginner Drupal training. In talking to other training providers, I know that we are not alone. 🔔😟
There's a lot of wisdom in this blog post from @mtift relating to taking a moment of quiet during busy times: 🧘

For me, I find that I need to find time every day (usually while walking my dog) to not have any input of any kind - no screen, no audio - just to let my mind wander. 🐕🚶♂️💭
