Logging our journey improving developer experience of Bonfire

:wave: Fellow maintainer of Bonfire chiming in to mention some improvements we made based on this feedback:

  • Automatically add generated secrets to .env when running the just secrets command (after prompting for confirmation)

  • Only compile active extensions by default in dev/test, in order to speed up deps fetching and compilation (unused extensions from all flavours are still included in prod, so that they can be enabled by admin and/or users in settings)

  • Rename bonfire_spark extension to just bonfire for simplicity

Thanks to everyone who’s participated so far :slight_smile: We look forward to the next session to continue improving the developer experience!
