myss452813dI remember when working with Wordpress back in 2015/16 that Drupal was suggested to me like amazing alien spaceship compared to WP and I was even offered a position to learn it.
Saw through that bullshit right away and decided to drop all those CMSs and rather focus on frameworks. In the end of day, every large CMS tries to do everything, but in a very oppinioted way built for users with none or very little programming experience - which just brings to more troubles for people developing in it.
Happy to hear its still the same crap, suggest you advocate as hard as possible to drop it before you dig yourself a very very very deep rabbit hole. -
retoor1164512d@Demolishun i think that AI is used a lot for that
Wow, btw. Do people still use drupal? I'm working on a site in plain html/js using a very fancy backend. I don't have any limitations at all during development of it.A few rants before this one is also framework related -
CoreFusionX339711dI kinda like angular/nest for the DI framework, but then I remember they are implemented in a clown language and you can't make it work with subclasses and shit like that, and I remember why it is clown.
Besides depending on shit that is not standard, and only provided by a transpiler... -

Oh, btw, even if ashamed because this platform has no DMs.
Fucking Arjen is doing it again at 013 Poppodium, Tilburg, so I'm going back. Any other recommendations of places to visit?
I have Amsterdam and Le Hague on the radar now. -
retoor1164511d@CoreFusionX are you part Chinese, you may like giethoorn, it's like dutch Venice. Many people like madam tussauds in Amsterdam, realistic statues of celebs. But entree is expensive, around 30,- or so. The Nemo science museum in Amsterdam. Go to a peepshow maybe, can be fun

Drupal is such a fucking wortless and infuriating hinder in software development.
I've been a software developer for the past 6 years, I have worked with many different frameworks and technologies in both backend and frontend, such as .net, react, php, you get the idea.
In my current project, we have been forced to use Drupal as backend. Initially I had no complaints, but after trying to use it for the past month, I'm beyond mad at the ridiculous and overly complicated way of doing the most basic tasks in existence.
Not only is installing Drupal such a dependency hell, that we had to modify our entire ecosystem just to accommodate for Drupal's versioning, but it's just a crutch that we have to carry around and make ridiculous exceptions for.
I've seen other projects made in Drupal by professional companies, and not a single one of them actually makes use of the CMS that is meant to be the entire point of this piece of shit.
Instead, we have to make a regular backend database, force the PHP code into Drupal's modules and then try for the impossible of making use of the pointless structure system integrated in Drupal.
It's almost pointless since we still had to make a react application to actually do the pages, since Drupal is limited as hell when it comes to personalization.
Just to end up with this error message: "The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later." no explanation, no nothing, just going after an endless debugging using [drush] commands.
Anyway, I fucking hate Drupal
