Drupal has been around for 20+ years and it still surprises me. It’s not just a CMS—it’s a community, a mindset, and a huge collection of tools that keeps evolving. Flexible but opinionated, it challenges you to build smarter, not just faster. Every project teaches something new: a clever module, a lesser-known API, or a caching trick you didn’t know existed. And the community is always there to help, debate, or make you rethink your approach. Drupal isn’t just for developers. It’s for problem solvers who want sustainable, adaptable solutions that last. What’s the one thing about Drupal that keeps you coming back? #Drupal #WebDevelopment #OpenSource #TechCommunity #DigitalInnovation

I’ve fallen in and out of love with too many software solutions or development platforms to keep count of but I always seem to be drawn back to Drupal. I think it’s because it’s underlying architecture aligns with how I’ve evolved to believe content should be managed - both in a professional capacity and for the common good. I’m a big believer in the power of cooperation and sincerely believe we are a cooperative species at heart. At times when the direction of the world seems to be going in the opposite direction Drupal stands out to me as a beacon of hope and the community is a shining example of what can happen when good people cooperate. I still love it 16 years on from first using Drupal 6. I honestly can’t say that about any other ‘digital solution’ in my life 🤗

100% the community. It has kept me both socially and professionally nourished since 2006.
