Hi, my name’s Kyle. Yes, I get in whatever lane has fewer cars and then merge. I merge late so others can practice forgiveness. I don’t see it as cutting someone off. I see it as giving them a spiritual workout.
Merging, to me, is faith in motion. When I flick on my blinker, at the last possible second, I’m not being rude. I’m saying I believe in you. I believe you’ll make space. That you’ll overcome the petty human urge to honk and instead ascend toward grace.
Patience is a muscle, and I’m your personal trainer. I push you past your limit. You might shake. You might curse my name. But later, when your blood pressure stabilizes, and you feel the calm wash over you, you’ll thank me. As Gandhi said, or maybe I’m paraphrasing, “Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” I’m just here to spot you.
Traffic isn’t chaos. It’s just therapy with horns. Every red light is a breathing exercise. Every missed exit is an opportunity for growth. Every time I merge late, someone releases the anger they’ve been holding since childhood. And if that isn’t public service, I don’t know what is.
Forty-year growth periods may have given them a leg up in dominating their ecosystems

Twenty-five years! In the world of technology, hitting a quarter-century milestone while remaining a top-notch powerhouse of the internet is an achievement so rare it's almost unheard of. Today, we're popping the confetti and cutting the cakes around the world to celebrate a colossal journey. This isn't just a birthday for a piece of software; it's a testament to resilience, constant evolution, and the deep-seated belief in doing things the right way. Join us as we look back on 25 years of shared passion, contribution, and the incredible community that has made Drupal so powerful. Happy birthday, Drupal!

We are excited to announce that the main branch is now the official Drupal core development branch. Using a main branch aligns Drupal core with the best practices of industry and major open-source projects. This move is the final step of infrastructure changes that began in 2023.
Going forward, main is the new, primary development trunk for Drupal core. Most active work and outstanding issues currently filed against 11.x should now be targeted at main. The 11.x branch will remain for Drupal-11-specific issues, while Drupal 12 development will happen in the main branch.

You can’t stop life from throwing changes your way, big and small. But you can get a lot better at dealing with them

Drupal 12 development has reached a point where the system requirements may be raised in the development branch. To prepare core developers for this and to inform the community at large, we are announcing the following requirements for Drupal 12.
The webserver requirements have not changed since Drupal 11. They are Apache 2.4.7 or nginx 1.1 minimum. IIS is not supported.
Drupal 12 will require PHP 8.5. Older versions of PHP are not supported.
The minimum database requirements for backends supported by Drupal 12 core are MySQL 8.0, MariaDB 10.11, PostgreSQL 18, and SQLite 3.45.
The MySQL and SQLite requirements have not changed since Drupal 11.0. MariaDB is raised from 10.6 and PostgreSQL from 16.
Drupal recommends the latest secure release of Composer, 2.9.3.
