Making the case for #Drupal Commerce over enterprise commerce platforms: 💰🛒

https://www.centarro.io/blog/hidden-costs-enterprise-ecommerce-platforms

@ryanszrama does a great job explaining why services like Shopify are likely to cost more in the long run.

I don't build very many commerce sites, but I learned a lot in this blog post. I would imagine this would be *very* useful for agencies as a sales tool! 🎯📊

If your #Drupal 8/9/10 site is crashing on /admin/ pages due to the new "main" branching scheme in D11, a simple drush cache rebuild won't be enough.

This will do the trick:

```
drush php:eval "Drupal::service('update.manager')->refreshUpdateData()"
```

Hey #Drupal 8 #D8 #Composer friends, I'm having a weird composer issue:

Admin pages suddenly crash, seemingly out of the blue:

```
UnexpectedValueException: Invalid version string "main" in Composer\Semver\VersionParser->normalize()
```

It seems like Drupal is trying to see if there are core updates (>= 8.9.20), and then receives a "main" version identifier that composer can't deal with?

Possibly related to the new "main" branching scheme in D11 pushed 2 hours ago?

I admit it's been some time since I thought about #Drupal, but I was alarmed to find out today that the Book Module was deprecated over a year ago. Such a useful, user-friendly way to build book-type content! I wonder what people use now? Is it as easy?

Are you a #Drupal community member and have hobbies outside of Drupal? Really? 😛

Am I wrong to be calling this LinkedIn post out for being kinda awful?
I’m warming to the use of AI in some circumstances but examples like this make me take a step backwards as they highlight all of the shitty things people are doing.

So, I think we are really, really close to a 1.0 release of https://www.drupal.org/project/config_warning that adds a nice little warning to admin pages that will alter the running configuration.
It would be really, really good to get more people testing it on their #Drupal sites and feeding back. 💙
