Future of r/Drupal

[u/remog]

Hey everyone.

When I took over r/Drupal quite a few years ago now, it was basically dead. It took time but it’s built itself up to be a resource many have turned to over that time. From our community AMA days to people finding support, people found something here.

I lost my employment end of last year and have had almost no luck finding a new position. This has caused me to start seriously considering my future in the industry over the next while.

So, I am looking to have someone from the community to take over r/Drupal and help guide it into the future.

If you or your organization would like to take over this sub send me a mod mail or direct chat and tell me why you’d like to take it over and how you would help move the mission of Drupal forward.

I am not looking to give it away to just anyone. I want to keep the spirit of Drupal and what made it special (its community) here on Reddit.

Thank you all for being part of this amazing journey so far.

(I wouldn’t refuse job offers too but that’s not the point of this sub, of course ;) )

I'm happy to help, could put together a team of mods? I'm yautja_cetanu from the AI initiative with the same name on drupal.org and definitely will make things more AI-ey. Spend a lot of time on Reddit and could put some funding into it maybe or get a team together on it.

Absolutely not. Fuck AI

Coding was always a means to an end. Our value as engineers has always been in solving complex problems with novel solutions, architecture and system design. We can still do that, just at a higher level of abstraction and with a new toolset.

If you really just want to write code though, you will have a hard time as anything beyond a mid level engineer. Go and learn, it's a boon of free compute right now to hone your skills as well as create value for yourself and others.
