#PHP Friends,
Why can't I do:
use A as B;
public function test(B $var): B
{
return $var;
}
I get "Return value must be of type B, A returned" which techically is true, but A and B are the same here?
In other words, I can use B everywhere, except as return type.
(on PHP 8.4.16)

Hot take: #PHP's strict mode is the new weak mode!🍿 Recent improvements to casting rules in default mode are so much better than the explicit casts that strict mode forces on ppl that use it!

Ok #php community...
Let's play a game
Do we prefer #sql or #python ?
As I have been traumatized by the last results (no longer invited for Xmas at @phparch ) I will __NOT__ promise @eric will wear a batman cheerleader uniform if SQL wins at the upcoming #PHPtek2026

Before you install that package, take a closer look at its test suite. In this week's podcast, Aaron and I discuss what we look for and why it matters. #php #laravel https://masteringlaravel.io/daily/2026-01-23-laravel-podcast-what-could-be-worse-than-having-no-tests

Back in 2013, WebSockets were the "new" thing. I spent so much time building PHP polling fallbacks for browsers like IE9. This screenshot of my Windows 7 desktop with four browsers open for testing is peak old-school dev life. #BringsBack #Developer #RetroComputing #PHP #WebDevelopment
