@jyn@tech.lgbt That I knew, realised I forgot a word in my post so it was nonsensical. But did you prepare it yourself from scratch?

@milh0use@urbanists.social I quite enjoy it actually, and I've been adding a bunch of notes myself! It also gets me out of my flat and get some fresh air! 😁 Currently focusing on adding all the crossings and EV charge stations I find on my walks and update the opening times. But must say Ealing has been adding quite a few EV charge points where I lobe in the last few months.

I must say that BetterReflection is an absolutely amazing piece of library code. I always think I'm going to need to do a bunch of work, and then it turns out it already has a built-in method for it.

(current blessing is the `getImmediateMethods()` method on `ReflectionClass`)

So thanks @roave@mastodon.social and @ocramius@mastodon.social for having created it!

@Girgias@phpc.social do you mean that if people are using static analysis, then they don't need strict_types; and if they aren't using static analysis, they also don't need strict_types?

@loicfaugeron@phpc.social correct. PHP mostly* does sensible type coercions for scalar types in weak mode that are better than the forceful casts that will convert any random stuff (e.g. array to string if you use `(string)`). Moreover the scope of strict_types is really small. It doesn't cover binary operations, or callables called by the engine, and a bunch more. So a static analysis tool will be stricter than strict_types by quite a bit.

@loicfaugeron@phpc.social I have yet to understand why people are obsessed with strict_types when they use static analysis. And if you aren't, then adding types and using weak mode is better then enabling strict_types anyway. Especially that Rector for a long time, and maybe still, way of fixing this is to add casts which are worse than PHP's implicit coercions. (I.e. seeing a cast is way more of a red flag than not using strict_types)
