@dantleech@fosstodon.org I'll see if I can figure this out. Heck, I might even try to go down The Elm Architecture way 😅

@dantleech@fosstodon.org so I'm slowly finding my footing. I've got a concept of "Screens" and "Layouts". I've seen that Widgets are all about the "rendering", but somehow lacking the behaviour side. For example: I've created a HotkeyTabsWidget: tabs that can be switched by pressing the corresponding hotkey. I suppose a corresponding HotkeyTabsComponent would manage the behaviour?

When my 2 apps (monolith and Qalin) started needing the same domain objects, I had a choice: publish packages to Packagist, and feel the pain of having to update multiple repos to propagate a change... Or pull up a 10 year old trick: monorepo. 2 apps, 10 packages, zero extra tooling. Composer path repositories handle it all out of the box! I've written about how to set this up. https://gnugat.github.io/2026/03/04/xl-11-monorepo.html

How do you test a feature that only triggers 3 days after registration? You could wait. Or hack the DB. Or hardcode a bypass. Or... expose a dedicated internal API that presets your app into any state on demand, like they've done at Bumble. I couldn't find an established name for this pattern, does one exist? I've written about how to build one with modern #Symfony Usable by devs, QA, designers and product alike, through a CLI, API and web UI. Even in PHPUnit tests! https://gnugat.github.io/2026/02/25/xl-10-qalin-test-control-interface-with-symfony.html

@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 stri

Symfony's got a super secret mascot since 2025: the SymPony. Why is there no official announcement introducing the cutie? 🦓 Here's a clip about it: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxLaUvYHSClyeTCPaeLkuwIJ68Oh9QFydu?si=D3tF2towLesGuI68 And here's a picture of my SymPony
