Hey #php developers out there 👀 👋
What tools do you use to make your #ai write "good" code? 😏
#phpstan,

About to run InfectionPHP on this PHPUnit testsuite... 😱
#InfectionPHP #PHP #PHPUnit

php -S localhost:8000 -t .
HOLY CRAP!?! How have I never known that PHP has a built-in web server for development? How long has this been thing? (Rhetorical question as I'm about to look it up, just stating for emphasis on my surprise to have just found this option.)

I benchmarked #PHP's native serializer vs code export. You won't believe what I found!

Using #PSR-3 placeholders properly in PHP (and other awesome alliterations).

Any super smart #php folks here know how to mock built-in functions like ‘glob’?
I know I could wrap calls to it in a class that I could mock, but I hate adding code just for a test.
Please boost!

Here is my résumé when it comes to using #GLM 5.1 for refactoring a large #php #laravel code based on #sonarqube

I was like “wait, what?!” and asked again. Turns out it just extrapolat…

We need to have a talk #PHP, this is not supposed to happen when I do cool cutting-edge things:

Functional programming isn't just for Haskell developers. It's for #PHP developers, too. "Thinking Functionally in PHP" is available from LeanPub.

After an unfortunate finger slip, I briefly tried to call the arse_url() function in PHP.
Now I kinda want to write an RFC to add it..

Hmm it seems Junie is evolving, it has found my non-default PHPUnit config file location, and has started getting into segfaults:

Traits in #PHP are a limited purpose tool, but they do have a purpose.

Let's be controversial: In modern #PHP, you should never type-hint an array.

You can't stop the evolution... 🦋
#phpunit ➡️ #pest ➡️ #testo

Gah! Fucking #PHP arrays...

Reminder: your #ai #coding agent needs a lot of guardrails; otherwise, it generates a lot of crap, even opus... 😞
Fixing these errors at the end of the day takes forever.
It's better to run your linters and tests after every change...
