I’m going to document how I handle a project at work with many, many (150+) multisites using Drupal 8 and configuration management. When thinking of what to write for this post, I pretended that this is the blog post I wish I read at the beginning of the migration process from Drupal 7 to Drupal […]

I’m trying to make my tooling work as well as it can for me. This post is me documenting my configuration for working with PhpStorm on a Emulsify Drupal project. Your *.stories.js will be annoyingly underlined red unless you set the JavaScript language version to ECMAScript 6. Set the webpack configuration file to the webpack.dev.js […]

Googling around, I found an awesome little script that allows you to transform python’s SimpleHTTPServer into a CORS enabled server. I copied the above gist into a folder, then within that made a “data” folder where I put CSVs and JSON files for local projects I’m working on. My CORS server file structure. Now, when […]

2019 was a fairly uneventful year for me in terms of professional accomplishments, but nonetheless it was excellent in terms of challenging some old beliefs and reevaluating the way I am in the world. Web development My web development energy was mostly consumed by two things: Drupal 8 and JavaScript (specifically Vue). Vue To continue […]

Often times I’ve seen articles talking about the benefits of components to developers, but less often I see articles talking about the benefits of components to site builders and editors. Component-based theming and site building is where the web is going. WordPress is there with Gutenberg’s block system. Drupal uses Paragraphs, Layout Builder, and probably […]

I’m currently in the process of moving my beloved WordPress blog over to Eleventy and it’s been a really awesome opportunity to learn some new things. During the migration, I noticed my syntax highlighting for HTML tags looked a little weird. The lines were highlighted and the text was all caps. Example syntax showing the […]
