When I was ten, my uncle gave me a Kasparov chess computer. Last night I was lucky enough to have dinner with Kasparov. I also learned that Daniel Naroditsky, whose YouTube videos rekindled my love for chess, had passed away. I'll be thinking about them both for a long time. dri.es/meeting-one-...

The Open Web was built on a fair exchange: content in return for visitors. AI broke that deal. We need new systems to support creators, not leave them behind. My thoughts on the forward: dri.es/the-webs-bro... /cc @cloudflare.social #openweb #ai

I just shared my State of Drupal presentation from DrupalCon Atlanta! Get an update on Drupal CMS 1.0's launch and what is next: Experience Builder, AI agents, Site Templates, and a potential marketplace. Watch the keynote or download my slides. dri.es/state-of-dru... #drupal #drupalcon #ai #xb

Y’all No joke Drupal Experience Builder is what the WP full site editor SHOULD be #DrupalConAtlanta #Drupal #WordPress

A few weeks ago, I started exploring how AI can improve alt-text for images on my website. What seemed like a simple fix turned into a multi-step challenge. In my latest post, I share how I'm scaling this process to handle 9,000 images while keeping some control over quality. dri.es/automating-a...

I tested 12 LLMs to generate alt-text for 9,000 images missing descriptions. Not surprisingly, cloud models performed best. For local options, Llama variants and MiniCPM-V were ok. Local models align with my values, but cloud models would serve visually impaired users better. dri.es/generating-i...

Yes, it's mind-blowing to watch AI agents *use a browser* to seamlessly browse your site and edit content. 🤯 dri.es/i-gave-an-ai...

80 KitKat websites switched to Drupal and Acquia in less than 18 months. The result: a massive 1,000% boost in traffic, a 50% drop in bounce rate, and 3 times the pageviews compared to their old sites. More details here: https://dri.es/kitkat-gets-a-break-with-drupal-and-acquia

Last week, around 1,500 Drupal-ists gathered in Pittsburgh for DrupalCon. In good tradition, I gave my State of Drupal keynote (aka #DriesNote). Check out the video of my keynote or slides at https://dri.es/state-of-drupal-presentation-june-2023. Special, late-breaking bonus announcement included …

I updated my website, https://dri.es/, to the latest version of Drupal, which is Drupal 10.0.9. It's incredible to see how much work goes into each release, even into a bug fix release. You can get a good sense by checking out the release notes: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/10.0.9.
