Standup - "Craft CMS 4: Rector? Damn Near Killed 'Er!"

Ryan Irelan & Andrew record another devMode standup where we discuss the impending release of Craft CMS 4.

We delve into why this update won’t be as much work as the Craft 2 to Craft 3 update, but we talk about the work plugin & module developers will need to do, and what you can do to prepare for Craft 4 now.

We also talk about Pixel & Tonic’s likely release dates for the beta and general release, and how a tool called Rector may ease the process for everyone.

We also then talk about how to do long reports or exports well using batches without PHP falling over, a memoization memory leak in Commerce, and Ryan tells us about stakeholder-appropriate workflows.
