I had a long conversation with Dries Buytaert. The parts I think Drupal folks will find most useful:

• He separates "building pages" from "managing content". A five-page site, sure, vibe-code it. Ten editors and thousands of pages across a hundred sites is a different problem, and that one is growing.
• Search engines sent visitors back to the sites that made the content. AI answers don't. He calls it breaking the social contract of the web.
• Tool API and MCP: exposing Drupal's capabilities to agents while keeping permissions and workflows. He thinks agents will generate throwaway UIs for tasks that take 100 clicks today.
• Makers and takers in the AI era, and the $3M/year the Drupal Association spends just on servers.
• A story he hadn't told publicly: the document he had Acquia's early investors sign to protect Drupal.
