The Economics of Claude Code — Part 2: The Agent Tradeoff

Claude Skills and MCP for Drupal Development — DrupalCamp NJ 2026
A preview of Alex’s DrupalCamp NJ session on using Claude Skills and MCP to make AI useful for real Drupal development workflows.
A developer seated at a modern desk with two side-by-side monitors. The left monitor shows raw code and online documentation, while the right displays an AI assistant suggesting code improvements. The lighting is darker on the left and brighter on the right, symbolizing progress. The developer, consistent with the reference photo, is facing the screens with focused posture.
