„Who needs code quality anyway?“

Think you don’t need coding standards, documentation, or tests? Perfect! In this tongue-in-cheek session, I’ll show you why you’re right… and then why you’re absolutely, hilariously wrong.

We’ll dive into what PHP 7 & 8 offer, examine how design patterns and best practices affect WordPress projects, and look at the real-world impact of skipping (or following) good coding habits.

Expect surprises, laughs, and practical insights to take your code from “barely works” to “built to last.” You might just leave loving code quality after all.

Learning Outcomes:

• – Get familiar with modern PHP features in a WordPress context
• – Understand the business case for (and against!) coding standards
• – Learn how small changes in code quality pay off in big ways
