The Security Audit Checklist for AI-Generated PHP: 7 Vulnerability Patterns in Every Vibe-Coded Codebase
Every AI-assisted PHP project we audit surfaces the same seven vulnerability families: SQL injection adjacent to raw execute calls, missing CSRF tokens, user-controlled file paths, hardcoded secrets, over-privileged JWT claims, open redirects, and Symfony firewall bypasses. This post names each pattern, explains why LLMs generate it, and gives the GrumPHP, Rector, and PHPStan rules that catch it before merge.
PHP 8.4 Property Hooks in Symfony: What They Change for Entity Design, DTOs, and Form Objects
PHP 8.4 property hooks are the biggest change to PHP's object model since typed properties. Here's exactly how they interact with Doctrine, Symfony Forms, and API Platform — and which patterns will break your application.
Symfony Doctrine Multi-Tenant Database Architecture: Shared Schema vs Schema-Per-Tenant vs DB-Per-Tenant — a 2026 Decision Matrix
The multi-tenancy strategy you pick today is nearly impossible to reverse at scale. This guide maps all three Doctrine patterns against GDPR isolation, migration complexity, and connection-pool limits so you can choose once and choose right.
Selling Software Engineering Time Across the EU: VAT, Reverse-Charge, and Permanent-Establishment Rules That Decide Where You Owe Tax
A Berlin consultancy invoicing a French client, a German GmbH placing engineers on-site in Amsterdam — these trigger different VAT and permanent-establishment outcomes most founders only discover during a cross-border audit. Here is the practical map.
The Five npm Packages AI Coding Assistants Keep Recommending — and Why Each One Belongs Nowhere Near Production
Cursor, Copilot, and ChatGPT keep suggesting the same handful of npm packages — and five of them are deprecated, supply-chain risks, or production landmines. Here is what we find in real vibe-coded codebases, why each package is dangerous in 2026, and the modern replacements we install during every rescue.
Migrating 700K Lines of Doctrine 1.x: A Schema-First Path to Doctrine 3 Without a Code Freeze
A real-world migration playbook for large Doctrine 1.x codebases: schema-first entity generation, a dual-ORM bridge that keeps legacy controllers alive, a snapshot-based test harness, and the four-month cutover sequence that retired 700K lines without freezing feature work.
