You probably feel like you’ve got it covered, but workplace messaging etiquette is one of those topics where some people secretly wish others would revisit the basics, while assuming they themselves are doing just fine.
Traditional Drupal theming fragments logic, markup and styling across the stack. The Pinto module, built by PreviousNext, takes a component-first approach using object-oriented patterns, props, slots and full type safety to make reusing design system components fast and predictable.
Michael walked the audience through what it actually means to build and use recipes and site templates in practice - how they're structured, how configuration and dependencies are packaged, and how they fit into modern Composer-based workflows.
