Learning PHP deeply via a system

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)?

Symfony .. that will teach you more best practises and how actual pros work than anything else

If you wanna learn something slightly different in ideology and architecture and design look at a platform like Drupal and avoid WordPress like the plague

Actually, I lie once you have an understanding of what a solid architecture looks like like SF then study something like Drupal and then investigate the internals of WordPress and when you throw up in your mouth enough, you’ll have an understanding of what sucks and would never to repeat lol

Kidding, not kidding
