Automated Refactoring With Rector

In our previous article, we discussed how to get started using code coverage to determine if our code has enough tests and one of the things I mentioned is how we should integrate this into our CI/CD pipeline but I didn’t say how. This articles exists to rectify that problem by providing you with two […]

Fixing Bugs With PHPStan

I don’t need to tell you, but as developers, bugs are a constant challenge. We can do everything in our power to test the code that we’re writing as we’re writing it. But that’s just not good enough. That’s because our changes affect other people’s code in ways we can’t expect, and their changes affect […]

Be Barrier Free

I am sure that I am not alone in thinking, “My site is so small; I don’t have to worry about it”. “I have a focused user base; everything is fine.” “Nobody has complained, so it must not be a problem.”

Evolving PHP

Over the past several months, I’ve reflected a lot on my experience as a PHP developer. Specifically, I’ve shared with some friends that I couldn’t have predicted that this is where I would be when I was younger. So many aspects of my job didn’t exist back then, including the Internet as we know it […]

Code Coverage Validation With Codecov

Every year we’re getting new versions of PHP, which is great but it means we’re going to have to constantly put time into upgrading our code as features are added, deprecated, and removed from the core language. Because our code base is only going to have more lines of code over time, it can be […]

Automating Our Tests With GitHub Actions

As developers, we need to automate as much as possible. This saves us time and money as well as keeps us from skipping steps. I used to have a project where I would run my tests manually before I push them into production. It started out taking 1 to 5 minutes and that was fine […]

Database Normalization For Developers

Not every team has a dedicated database administrator. I’ve **never** worked on a team that has had someone solely focused on making sure our tables are structured perfectly with all the forms of normalization being applied. I, like a lot of developers, have had to learn difficult lessons about database design the hard way by […]
