| The best code isn't the most novel or most compact, it's the most easily readable and easily extendable (RS). |
| My only resource for learning PHP was php.net (RS) |
| I'm a self-taught Developer or community-taught, I suppose (OD). |
| Porting osCommerce into Drupal, which became Ubercart (RS). |
| Do we do this in Ubercart and Drupal 6 that we know works, or this new thing that was Drupal Commerce in Drupal 7 (OD). |
| It was built in Ubercart and was in production until quite recently, considering we're in 2024 (OD). |
| Once you get thoroughly entrenched in a platform, the cost to re-platform outweighs the cost of maintaining it in-house (RS). |
| If there's 10,000 of anybody, they're going to want to pay for support (RS). |
| How do we convince them to invest in an upgrade that doesn't see them jettison Drupal entirely? (RS) |
| One thing I like about Drupal Commerce is its flexibility. (OD) |
| It doesn't need to be a t-shirt or book shop. You can do some outside the box things with it. (OD) |
| Being a native extension of Drupal has a lot more advantages and pros than cons. (RS) |
| Ubercart was more "batteries included" and "this is what it does", whereas Drupal Commerce is more flexible and although it requires a bit more setup to begin with, you can plug it together the way you want to. (OD) |
| Our vision was to go the next step of getting off the Drupal island. (RS) |
| The Commerce Addressing library is now over 17,000,000 downloads. (OD) |
| Composer allowed us to separate our projects and separate our concerns. (RS) |
| Do you know when you should not use Views and when you decouple that component and use JavaScript and the REST API? (RS) |
| If we can reduce the number of times introduce those kinds of problems, that's how I would certify somebody. (RS) |
