Nl Blog Banner 2026 04 17T163921 336 SymfonyOnline June 2026 is officially scheduled for June 11 and 12, 2026! Join us online for two tracks of cutting-edge tech talks: one full day dedicated to AI and another full day focus on Symfony Deep Dive.

🎤 Speaker announcement!

We are excited to host Dave Liddament, Director, Lamp Bristol, for his talk "Custom PHPStan Rules: Guardrails for AI-Assisted Symfony Code":

"AI assistants speed up coding, but their output is non-deterministic and needs hard guardrails. The most reliable enforcement layer is the one your tooling applies on every run: custom PHPStan rules.

In this talk, we'll start with a coding workflow built around plan mode, voice input, and self-correcting test loops. We'll then reframe the testing pyramid for the AI era: deterministic checks first, AI-driven review with AGENTS.md and skills second, human review last.

The bulk of the session covers PHPStan internals: how nikic/php-parser turns code into an AST, how to inspect nodes with the Rector playground, and how to implement the Rule interface. Two worked examples anchor the talk: banning extends ServiceEntityRepository, and enforcing kebab-case in #[Route] paths whether the argument is positional or named.

By the end, you'll be ready to write your own rules and turn one-off AI corrections into team-wide invariants."
