Video: Drupal is Stupid (But I Love It Anyway)

This past weekend was the second CapitalCamp here in DC, and I wound up doing a session on Friday morning. I was one of the organizers of the event, but submitted two sessions early on (mostly to start filling up the Proposed Sessions list). When it became clear that we had a ton of great session proposals (and I was going to have my hands full all weekend), I withdrew my proposals.

But, a speaker had to cancel his session a few days before the camp, and since I had previously done this talk at the DC PHP user group back in November, I was asked if I could fill the slot by doing it again. I think it worked out well: I've been asked by a lot of people who couldn't make it back in November if there was a video available, but at the time, I didn't really know how to use Keynote and failed to record it. This open timeslot gave me a chance to record a video, and to update some of the content of the talk.

In any case, I think it went pretty well. The audio peters out near the end: the Q&A became more of a discussion, which was great at the time but didn't get picked up by the mic.

MODX uses "upserts". Don't do it. It's lazy and untrackable. These operations (update or insert) should be handled independently. If you have trouble determining when to do so, it may be necessary to redefine the problem you're approaching.

Otherwise, I agree with just about everything in this presentation! Thanks for the video!
