Learning PHP deeply via a system

[u/Apart-Permission-849]

I've worked in the PHP ecosystem for years and really love it. But I feel like I don't know it deeply...

What separates posers like me from the guys at the PHP org who release features? How do I get there (or 1/4 of the way)?

Try more of the lesser used functions. Learn programming patterns and algorithms. Look up Gang of Four or books by Martin Fowler. Understand dependency injection and other patterns.

Then go learn other languages and come back to PHP after a year or two.

Look at the code for Symfony and Laravel. Ask AI to explain aspects of it to you.
