What #libre#IDE (integrated development environment for programming code) would y'all want to coalesce around using, supporting, and developing? Asking especially for coding websites and applications with #PHP, #JavaScript, #CSS, and #HTML but #Python, #Elixir, #Rust, and #Go would all be great for us @agaric too.
I don't understand why this is enforced in symfony/validator. It means I can't have a base class with a `final public static` method on it that I use as a common validator for all models. I have to define the static method on every model.

...and now we just added the Migration Guide to the site: https://www.php-fig.org/per/coding-style/meta/migration-3.0/
This guide covers the migration from PER CS 2.0 to 3.0. If you need help for the previous step too, we got you covered: https://www.php-fig.org/per/coding-style/meta/migration-2.0/
You should also remember that PER-CS 1.0 is intentionally equivalent to PSR-12, so no migration is required there. Happy #PHP formatting! 😃

Hey #PHP,
I don't normally market code, I write and leave it on github for you to find.
I can be wrong, I'm happy to be wrong.
But I believe, with every ounce of my being, that this is going to be important for our survival in the long term.

Big thanks to Pierrick Charron for the onboarding and support. Really helped me get into the process.
And a big thanks to @Tideways and my colleagues there for supporting me in doing this.

Is anyone looking for good first-timer OSS contributor issues? Crell/Serde has a few tagged "good first issue" if you're interested.
This is kind of clever, but if you have the opcodes, you can reconstruct the source code. This approach just obfuscates the source code. If you have secrets or proprietary information in your source, DO NOT DO THIS!
