Summary

Valentine's Day brings attention to potential "breaking changes" in Directus, which, while sometimes frustrating, can ultimately lead to beneficial updates and improvements in projects. Breaking changes occur when updates or new features in a software system cause other components to fail, requiring users to modify their code. Directus aims to minimize such disruptions by adhering to an 80/20 rule, identifying changes as "breaking" if they affect at least 80% of users. Despite the challenges, these changes often enhance the platform, supported by thorough documentation and clear communication with the user community. Directus values user feedback and encourages community engagement to continually refine and improve its offerings.
