DrupalCon Los Angeles 2015: Site Building like a Software Engineer

This talk emphasizes the critical importance of site building in Drupal, arguing that it should be viewed as an integral part of the development process rather than a mere precursor to custom modules or theming.

Additionally, the session highlights anti-patterns that can lead to unmaintainable sites, ultimately stressing the need for developers to prioritize maintainability and robustness throughout the entire lifecycle of their projects.
