GitHub Actions has made continuous integration seamless. Not because it is a superior product – I am by and far a huge fan of CircleCI – but because of its ease in integration. TravisCI was a huge breakthrough in continuous integration for open source projects.

For the past three months, Richard Sheppard has been a financial contributor to ContribKanban on OpenCollective. I'm extremely grateful for his decision to put his money towards my project every month. $5 a month may not seem like much, but the impact is greater than its monetary value.

I accidentally found a cool keyboard shortcut for PhpStorm, and probably every IntelliJ IDE. On macOS, you can use Shift + CMD + Apostrophe to force your tool window to expand to the entire screen. I'm assuming for Linux and Windows this is Shift + CTRL + Apostrophe. I don't know about anyone else, BUT I AM VERY EXCITED.

I use DDEV-Local for my local development stack. DDEV leverages mkcert for trusted local development certificates. The mkcert tool has been a missing component in my local development stack for a long time. And, the best part, it has worked without any problems. Until this week.

This is the first of two blogs detailing how to build a middleware leveraging ReactPHP to consume data from an API, normalize it, and then push that data into Drupal through JSON:API. In this example will be grabbing data from the PokéAPI.

The other week, I was asked about how I maintain my PHPUnit config file for my Drupal projects. When running Drupal's PHPUnit test suites, you typically copy and modify the distribution phpunit.xml.dist file which lives in the web/core subdirectory. There is just one problem.
