🤔 Is this a #Composer normalization quirk caused by how #PHP encodes empty vs non-empty maps when regenerating composer.lock?
`stability-flags` is logically a map, but when empty Composer may serialize it as `[]` instead of `{}` especially after;
composer update --prefer-dist --prefer-stable
- Same dependency graph
- Different lockfile bytes / hash
Semantic determinism ✅
Byte-level determinism ❌
I dream of a day where #PHP has some kind of (OPTIONAL) function/variable import/export system, if only to control scope in functional programs.

If your custom validation rule internally defers to an existing Laravel rule and just inverts the logic, you might be able to avoid the custom rule altogether. Notice what I found in a recent code review. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2026-01-27-ruleexists-vs-ruleunique

📢 Our next event is up! On Wednesday 11 February, @DaveLiddament will show us how to get as close as possible to the Holy Test Trinity of extensive coverage, speed, and implementation ease.
📅 Details and registration 👇
~27% of PHP apps run on EOL or security-only versions. Over 50% of top packages still support unsupported PHP.
This isn't a personal failing. It's an industry condition.
Wrote about practical paths forward that don't require betting everything on a rewrite.

#React #JSX code looks, well, like #PHP: a mixture of HTML and a C-like language. Plenty of differences, but they do look similar. A typical PHP file back in the day for a web app was often a mixture of HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and SQL code very often in the same file. Yeah, the bugs were wild, but debugging was straight forward. If a customer had a problem on, say, "products/orders.php", it's quite likely that the buggy code was in the file, "products/orders.php" in your repo.
