I've been using Drush on Drupal 7 for a long time, but having started on Drupal 11 I've gotten more used to the Composer approach and see on Drupal.org that many Drupal 7 modules can be installed through composer.

Are there any gotchas installing Drupal 7 and installing/upgrading modules with composer?

Is Composer usage on Drupal 7 mature and comparable or even better than Drush?

Hello fellas,

we often encounter the case of content types with fields grouped in field groups that need to be rendered in a specific fashion (e.g. table, definition list), sometimes each group with its own markup.

The motivation is accessibility.

Our goal is to have a template suggestion for fields that look like:

[entity-type]__[view-mode]__[field-name]__[field-group-name]

so that a field can be formatted differently according to its host group.

At the moment no one in the team has been able to solve the conundrum.

Any suggestion (pun intended) is highly appreciated.

Six situations this week working with AI agents on Drupal. Some saved me hours. Others tried to ship solutions that looked right but weren't.

One bug had been stuck at an agency for hours and got resolved in 30 minutes. Another fix, if I had accepted it as-is, would have left me with custom patches on contrib modules.

The AI conversation usually focuses on the speed and skips what you have to catch in review. Wrote it down with the six cases. If you work with Drupal or with code in general, curious what you think.
