We are told that we need to take a vacation, buy something nice, or achieve work/life balance. But those actions do not get to the source of burnout. Within days, stress returns as fierce as ever. Without addressing the causes of habitual stress, we will never experience the wholeness of our lives.
A majority of US adults suffer from on-the-job burnout. This leads to serious physical and psychological illness, low productivity, declining motivation, rising turnover rates, and increasing healthcare costs.

What is Sustainable Drupal?
Sustainable Drupal is our approach to developing systems that can be used, maintained and enhanced as easily as possible, with the lowest level of knowledge required to be effective.
As far as site-building approach, the basic development philosophy is to have a goal of:
Drupal is one of the most powerful content management systems for organizations with a large volume of structured data. If you're a content strategist with a bit of site-building-savvy, or a site builder with a bit of content-strategy-savvy, you can make powerful interfaces that will help you, your clients, and your developers work with content more effectively.

In this section, we go over lessons learned while building a Drupal 8 site that in two years has reached 400,000 monthly page views. We go over modules that will make your Drupal 8 SEO friendly and why SEO alone is not enough.
DevOps isn't just code; it's also relationships. It's about creating a culture of openness and transparency so we can share our best work with others. We'll briefly look at the common reasons for isolation on a project and spend most of the time talking about the values and policy choices an organization can make to foster transparency and trust. Then we'll explore software development processes involving agile and DevOps to bring your team to a whole new level of visibility and collaboration.
Drupal is a couple years away from being 20 years old. In this talk, Matt Westgate will earn his 2,275 user_id from drupal.org and share his high, low and funny moments with Drupal and offer practical advice for anyone feeling burnout or uncertain about Drupal and the future.
Testing has become an integral part of the Drupal development process, but it's frequently centered around technical aspects and is only implemented toward the end of the project.
Shift left testing is the process of moving the testing phase left of its usual position in the delivery pipeline so that it occurs as close as possible to the build process. By proactively testing integrations early and often, you can isolate most defects sooner for faster remediation, resulting in more efficient projects that are higher quality.
“The medium, or process, of our time—electric technology—is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and reevaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted.”
