Let's be controversial: In modern #PHP, you should never type-hint an array.
https://peakd.com/php/@crell/php-never-type-hint-on-arrays

Using #PHP arrays as pseudo-objects is almost never the right answer. They're less self-documenting, slower, worse on memory, and more bug prone.

I've been dragging a `~/.ssh` directory around with me since at least 2008.
I can probably safely purge these, now, though—right? (-;

Happy #PHP 8.5 release day! Keep in mind that the first 8.5.0 #Docker/#OCI images will show up in 8 hours till a couple of days after the release.

🚀 #PHP 8.5 released with major improvements: new URI extension, Pipe operator |>, property modification during cloning, NoDiscard attribute & performance boosts. Built for modern development workflows #WebDev

I just updated 8 libraries I maintain to run on PHP 8.5.
None of them required any changes for 8.5. One had two deprecation nitpicks left over from 8.4 that I'd not previously caught, trivially fixed.
It took me a little over an hour to do all 8, including some other maintenance at the same time.
