Long-form writing on Drupal, PHP frameworks, AI tooling, automated testing and everything else in a working programmer's stack — shipped from production, not theory.
Attribute hooks have been stable since Drupal 11.1, so I converted this blog's SEO module from a procedural .module file to a #[Hook] class. The catch nobody mentions: procedural hooks aren't actually deprecated yet and won't be removed before Drupal 13, around 2028. What's worth doing now, what isn't, and the LegacyHook trap that quietly fires your hook twice.
The first of my GitHub Trending roundups: the repos actually worth cloning this week — agent scaffolding, from-scratch language runtimes in Rust and C, and two tools that just fix something today — plus how to spot the star-farmed shell hiding in the pile.
OpenCode is my backup for when Claude Code taps out. A field note on provider-agnosticism — and why Copilot going token-based knocked it out of my daily-driver slot.
Field notes on running Drupal 10/11 on FrankenPHP in classic mode today, why worker mode is still off-limits for Drupal, and how it sits behind my Traefik/Coolify setup.
I built a real page in Drupal Canvas, the React page builder now default in Drupal CMS 2.0. Where the in-browser JSX workflow helps, and where my git instinct itches.
I pointed Upstash's Context7 MCP at Symfony, Laravel and Drupal contrib churn to see if its injected docs are current, complete, and worth the token budget.
Field notes on connecting a coding agent to a running Drupal install through the AI module's MCP server, and the governance gaps of letting it build content types and run actions.
