First of all, I would like to thank Fabian, Preston & Michael for starting this series “Core Confidential”. This series will talk about the day-to-day life of a Drupal core committer. With this series, we shall also learn about #Drupal9 readiness, Rector, and more stuff about Drupal, from Core committer’s perspective.

With this post, I want to share a few highlights which I wrote down while watching the first Inaugural episode. This post will give you a sneak-peek into what’s inside the episode.

I got to know about this via twitter:

Here are some things you can expect in this video.

… So all the exciting stuff basically has already happened in Drupal 9…

Preston asks the main question by 11:30 minutes 😅. But I won’t recommend skipping to that time, because there are lots of things discussed right from the 0th minute of the video.
Spoiler ⚠️ : This will be answered at last.

Fabian answers the Big WHY of Drupal core issues. Why it takes so much time to get something in core and it's quite thoughtful and beautiful to understand how much review is done before a patch is allowed to get in.

Drupal 7 still conservative than Drupal 8. How it is easier to make change in Drupal 8 etc.

Fabian prefers Tea over coffee… :)

Iterative approaches for introducing new features into Drupal.

Why code is deprecated in Drupal 8?

Drupal 10?

There are many things I haven’t mentioned here, I would recommend watching the full episode for complete insights.

Conclusion

I have to admit that the conversation was crisp, to the point, high quality and most importantly informative. So special thanks to Preston & Michael for beautifully crafting this entire episode and Fabian for answering.

Thank you, Fabian, you were expressive. 😁

Looking forward to more episodes on #CoreConfidential.

Thanks for Reading.
