ElePHPants

Adding Sylius and PHPStan to the Herd

I was recently sorting through some boxes and stumbled upon some boxes I totally forgot arrived, never-mind open! These boxes contained 5 Sylius ElePHPants and 6 PHPStan ElePHPants.

I only intended to order 3 of the latter, but for some reason I placed 2 orders, confirmed with my bank, totally my fault! Happy to double support PHPStan and I ended up also getting 2 t-shirts, which are super comfy!

As for Sylius, I ordered 3 but there was an issue with manufacturing which resulted in a "blue" error variant, so I got 2 of those too. This means that from these boxes, I have the following to trade:

1 x Blue (Error) Sylius ElePHPant
2 x Green (Correct) Sylius ElePHPant
5 x PHPStan ElePHPants

Reach out to me on Twitter or ElePHPant.me to arrange a trade!

Switching from Self-Hosted to Pro

Towards the end of 2021, I decided to rebuild my blog right here, on Ghost. I'd used Ghost before and loved it and the only reason I stopped was because I failed to keep up a regular posting schedule. Before Ghost I used WordPress, which was definitely an
