I talked to a guy a while ago...he trained to be a drupal dev for years...and is still learning...meanshile AI for me personally made the devs obsolete....i havent asked any devs for support for over 1 year....so people wake up.....use AI and stop paying devs

i think we reached the stage where developers are not needed if you have like medium knowledge of drupal...you know how it works, how to update etc....i used google gemini the whole time to upgrade....and it gave me all the right answers...before i wisited slack channel all the time...some poeple there are toxic af.... and you had to beg somebody to help you...and even then they could not help. Google gemini is way better then developers from my optinion and I havent visited slack for support now for over a year....gemini knows everything

If you have experience Full Stack development with 1 or more than years, You can real coding with MVP build, SaaS Development, Zoom meeting etc. You believe you are real developer and wanna change make real product, work.

Quick Specs:

Pay: $20–50/hr (depends on your stack/skills)

Vibe: Fully Remote & Part-time friendly

Goal: Work that actually impacts the product

Location : EU, America, US

Interested? Leave a message. :)

I've had a business website running in Drupal since 4.x. While I have some technical background, I always had a developer setting up the initial site and creating some custom modules. I would add some contrib modules as needed. I occasionally would make very minor changes in the custom modules.

I'm currently running a 10.x site that I had a developer help migrate up. One particular part of the custom module displayed some charts via the Google Charts contrib module. My developer set it up initially and it worked fine.

At some point during upgrade cycles, the charts stopped working. I was busy, they weren't mission critical, my developer was busy, and I didn't make it a priority to get fixed. It didn't look bad for my customers, just one relatively minor feature was not appearing.

During a recent security upgrade, the module started creating errors that showed up on the live site. Stuff that potentially looked off-putting to my customers.

I wanted to continue with the upgrade and thought: "How about this AI coding stuff?" I have only done one coding thing in AI before, a script for the CAD package I use. I can understand error messages enough to understand what modules were involved. I figured this would be a pretty safe experiment, just fixing some code to make it happy with the current Drupal environment.

I went to Claude, fed it all the files I thought might be involved. Fed it the errors I was seeing on the screen and from the system log and asked it if it could fix the problem. It said it could, it suggested changes to various files, and I obediently made the changes. It generated errors, I fed the errors back to Claude, more changes, more errors, changes, etc. until I hit a dead end...

Learning from my previous effort, I did a hard reset, started a new chat session, fed it more files than last time, fed it errors, made one query to send it in a direction that averted the dead end from last time, made the suggested changes, reported the errors, repeated that a few times until the errors disappeared, and then low and behold, the charts worked again.

Again, I know virtually nothing about the coding structure of Drupal, how to create modules, or make API calls. I can use Composer, Drush, and git, that's about it. My experience with Claude and ChatGPT is primarily researching the history of stuff and drafting legal documents. I understand that there are ways to set up Claude to do coding work, but I don't know what they are. I just asked it to fix the errors and learned enough during the 40-something minutes of effort to make it work. I will not vouch for the quality of the fix, but my site looks good.

I would have happily paid my developer to make the fix; they had more pressing jobs. I would have just let it slide, but I was interested to see what was possible, and I am impressed. Its not that Claude did something that is difficult, but that it allowed me to do something that was fairly easy but I didn't have the skills to do alone.

BTW, I let my Mac proofread this. It added some commas and a semicolon.

I asked here before or Drupal would be good for it and while I got positive feedback I am still looking for a couple more proposals and options. Since the webpages have some issues. The university would on many pages provide json files with fixed headers and bodies.

If you are a freelancer or small firm, let me know and maybe we can see if we could work on that.

We are talking about a full website setup and probably somewhere between 1000 and 1800 pages they need to be moved. I am still working on precise numbers.

I asked the mods by modmail of I could post it here but they didn't get back to me with any answer, so I guess it's allowed.

Re Drupal 11. Can I ask what people are doing for transactional email? I cannot find an actively maintained module for doing transactional email via API. My host, digital ocean, is giving me a hard time about using smtp. Thank you for any input.

I'm trying to install commerce in a drupal 11 site but I get an error that ext-bcmath is missing. It shows up using php -mm and php -i as well as using the phpinfo option on the sites status page. I'm reluctant to use the --ignore argument.
