Yesterday I opened a bug report on Laravel (the framework) and today somebody made a PR fixing this bug which is clearly AI generated (the fix is ok, because it was simple enough, but the description stinks of AI) and now *I* feel dirty.
They also copied the test I provided as proof of the bug.

"No single technique is sufficient. Static analysis detects obvious errors at low cost. Traditional dynamic testing with PHPUnit verifies specific behaviours. Property-based testing generalises these behaviours. Mutation testing validates the quality of the test suite. Fuzz testing explores the unknown."

Hopefully #Wordpress will bring a new major version that brings up more secure plugins, and better third-party development.

It's 2026, we should have DI and Service Container in Wordpress since ages ago.

Recently ran across a #php oddity I'd not encountered before with `DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat()`, and blogged about it:

🚀 #Laravel #Debugbar v4.2.0 just dropped with an #AI Boost #Skill!
Now your AI #agent can browse requests, inspect queries, detect N+1 issues & get full EXPLAIN results — all on demand.
Just copy a request ID and let the agent do the work. 🤖🔍
This is next-level Laravel debugging! ⚡

Avoid N+1 queries when validating array inputs in #php #Laravel ☝️
Instead of running `exists` per item, preload your data once and validate against it ✅
Cleaner code, better performance ⚡
