If you install a module for every piece of functionality soon you'll end up with a huge codebase and the hell the author is describing.
- Pwnguinz 14y agoYou are responding to the author ;). That said, I wholeheartedly agree. Did Drupal dev for 2 years, and my biggest takeaway was: Don't go around installing custom modules for one dinky feature. Wrap it up in your own custom module. Less dependency hell to deal with, and not only that, you'll have a much easier time debugging code you wrote yourself.
