Tests I write are usually written in Pest or Jest. I also usually commit them to a code repository - but not all automated tests should be committed. I wrote, what I consider to be an automated test, that was a single-use test. It served it's purpose and it'll forever be in my heart, but not in my repository.
✍️ New blog post: Single-use Tests

🐘 + ☕️ = The next PHP Melbourne meetup has been scheduled.
Come and hangout with the Melbourne PHP community, enjoy some talks, and hopefully learn a few things about full-stack development from the PHP perspective.
I’ll be there, for sure!

My docs generator now consolidates all the PHP documentation menus into one single sidebar menu system.
Not seen in the video: it also filters out empty pages, such as “Introduction”, to make sure you only ever land on pages with content.
