Hot take: most dev teams don't have a process problem. They have a "nothing is written down" problem.

#AI coding tools are making this visible FAST. The teams shipping well with AI aren't smarter; they just have better-written context.

Hot take: `var_dump()` is still one of the most useful debugging tools in #PHP #coding.

When it's not enough, what do you reach for?

Ray, Xdebug, Telescope, plain old logging, something else?

PHP has had array_column() since 5.5, and I still see people writing foreach loops to do what it handles in one line.

#$IDS = array_column(#$USERS, 'id');

Works on arrays of arrays AND objects. No loop needed.

"Just store a Unix timestamp" is advice that sounds fine until you're debugging why someone's subscription expired at 6 pm instead of midnight.

At #phptek, I'm covering: `DateTimeImmutable`, DST gotchas, and the patterns that actually hold up in production.

#PHP 8.5 added the `#[\NoDiscard]` #attribute. Put it on a function, and PHP warns you if the caller throws away the return value.

Are you still writing `strpos() !== false`? PHP 8.0 fixes this:

// PHP 8.0+
if (str_contains(#$STR, 'error')) {}
if (str_starts_with(#$URL, 'https')) {}
if (str_ends_with(#$FILE, '.php')) {}

They return booleans, and they read like English.

At #phptek this year, we'll have multiple PHP release managers you can actually talk to. Plus one who knows what it feels like when you don't get picked (looking at you, Eric Van Johnson 👀).

PHP has had SplQueue, SplStack, and SplMinHeap since version 5.1.

Most of us have been rolling our own.

Stop building what PHP has already built.

I spent an afternoon debugging a recursive directory scanner before I found out PHP already had this built in.

`RecursiveDirectoryIterator` handles thousands of files without hitting stack limits.

Most #PHPC #developers write the same complex JOIN in five different places instead of putting it in a #databaseView once and querying that.

Is anyone else building a text-based MMORPG? I want to get a list going. These games are always super fun and require so little effort to contribute to.

Feel free to reply or DM me and we can get a list going :)

ORMs are great for CRUD. They get painful fast when you need window functions or bulk upserts that don't hammer the DB with 10,000 queries.

The devs I respect use both. They reach for the ORM when it fits and write raw #SQL when it doesn't.

Myth: "Git rebase is too dangerous for team use."

Reality: rebasing your local feature branch before merging is exactly what it's for. You just need one rule to keep it safe: never rebase commits others have worked off.

PHP tip: put `#[\Override]` on any method that's supposed to override a parent.

Rename the parent method or typo the child, and PHP throws at compile time instead of quietly defining a brand-new method that never runs.

Added in 8.3.

PHP 8 named arguments are still underused. Stop writing this:

array_slice(#$ITEMS, 0, 5, true);

Write this instead:

array_slice(
array: #$ITEMS,
offset: 0,
length: 5,
preserve_keys: true,
);

The code tells you exactly what it's doing.

Hot take: your #CLAUDE.md matters more than your prompt.

A good prompt works once. A good CLAUDE.md gives the agent the right context every time, without you re-explaining yourself. Configuration compounds while prompts don't.

What's the most powerful #SQL feature you've actually used in production?

Views, stored procedures, triggers, replication or something else?

I'm covering these at #phptek this year: "Advanced SQL: The Features You've Been Ignoring (But Shouldn't)."
