Summary: Drupal is more fun - meet Karen Grey I sat down with Karen Grey at Drupal Camp Brighton 2015 to find out more about who she is and what she does with Drupal. I apologize for taking her out of the code sprints for that time! Since we spoke, Karen has taken on a position as Senior Drupal Developer at i-KOS in their Brighton office. During our conversation, we touch on the difference between early Drupal 6 and working with Drupal 7 now, how public contribution helps companies build their reputation and build passion and excitement in employees, Drupal's tough-love coding standards, how Drupal's steep learning curve pays off ("I've used other CMS's, they're not fun to use.") in enjoyment and community, the expense of the project discovery phase when using proprietary software compared to open source, personalization on the web as the next big thing (shoutout Acquia Lift and Context DB!), and more!
