(RS) +- One thing I like about Drupal Commerce is its flexibility. (OD) +- It doesn't need to be a t-shirt or book shop. You can do some outside the box things with it. (OD) +- Being a native extension of Drupal has a lot more advantages and pros than cons. (RS) +- Ubercart was more "batteries included" and "this is what it does", whereas Drupal Commerce is more flexible and although it requires a bit more setup to begin with, you can plug it together the way you want to. (OD) +- Our vision was to go the next step of getting off the Drupal island. (RS) +- The Commerce Addressing library is now over 17,000,000 downloads. (OD) +- Composer allowed us to separate our projects and separate our concerns. (RS) +- Do you know when you should not use Views and when you decouple that component and use JavaScript and the REST API? (RS) +- If we can reduce the number of times introduce those kinds of problems, that's how I would certify somebody. (RS) + +[episode]: {{site.url}}/podcast/13-ryan-szrama-centarro
