From the Telegram channel
Articles from the Telegram channel “Created to die” — about PHP, Symfony, architecture and developer tools. This section collects the channel's educational posts, turned into articles; new material appears in the channel first (in Ukrainian).

🐘PHP
Language features and common mistakes: match, arrays, traits, functional style, PHP 9.
🧱Architecture
Design and practices: constructors, try/catch, patterns, documentation.
🛠Tools
Tool reviews: AI in PhpStorm, Symfony in Docker, DevToys, Git.
