This week, I spoke with [Mark Conroy][mark] for an upcoming episode of the [Beyond Blocks podcast][podcast].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We discussed his approach to removing front-end build tools from projects, including the LocalGov Drupal base theme.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Doing this removes dependencies such as Sass and tools like Webpack but also makes it easier for others to contribute as there's less to learn.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The barrier to entry is lower.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is a big advantage in the open-source space and for companies and project teams.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Having simpler code and fewer tools makes it easier for others to understand and work on your codebase, making them productive sooner.
