Dale Trexel<p>AI &quot;vibe&quot; coding is the fast fashion of tech. You can quickly throw together something that looks great on Instagram, and may even be functional for a time, but it&#39;s disposable, by intent -- not something you&#39;d want or expect to repair.</p><p>And instead of filling landfills in third world countries with the waste, we&#39;re just filling the atmosphere with needless* CO2.</p><p>* Invisible too... until it&#39;s too late.</p>

Dale Trexel<p>I&#39;m still trying to figure out the differences between the parts of the plugin code that relate to </p><p>- global configurations for the module on a per-site basis<br />- field level configuration values managed by the site builder set when a field is added to an entity<br />- - those which can&#39;t be changed later because they impact storage<br />- - those which CAN be changed later because they&#39;re independent of storage<br />- field instance/item values set by content managers</p>
Dale Trexel<p>It&#39;s bad enough that you have to keep track of different naming conventions for &quot;a collection of values that are related to each other&quot; used in different contexts:</p><p>- properties<br />- parameters<br />- settings<br />- attributes<br />- options<br />- configurations<br />- schemas</p>
Dale Trexel<p>I&#39;m currently learning how to make custom Field types in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Drupal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Drupal</span></a>, and I&#39;m using the Address module as an example for how to handle multiple properties per field item/instance. It&#39;s kind of boggling how often you have to keep re-defining the same things in slightly different ways. Surely there&#39;s a better way to do this, all in one place?!</p>
