If @wimleers wasn't so humble, this blog post would be titled, "Config validation: I told you so" 😄

New! Drupal 11: Cascading Select Forms With HTMX
This is part four of a series of articles looking at HTMX in Drupal.
In this article we will look at creating a form that contains multiple select elements and then use HTMX (and a little bit of the form states API) to tie them together so that selecting one element updates the others.

I salute @Kingdutch who put in great work for #GraphQL 5 for #Drupal during #DrupalDevDays Athens 🫡
Beta 3 is released now with:
* a small security fix
* small API breaks we wanted to get done before 5.0
* Performance optimizations for AST caching
* Refactors for long term improvements
Alexander is truly my Drupal maintainer best buddy 😍

Huh.
Only today did I learn of ContentEntityBase::get translation().
Multilingual isn't magic.
My coworkers used #Rovo in #Jira to create a summary of the work we have done for a client, and it confidently came up with the randomest collection of odd items and inaccuracies, which is especially crazy since the work on this project has been so significant that it has been adapted into SEVEN different contributed modules for #Drupal.
