SUMMARY:Escaping the Code Maze
DESCRIPTION:PHP Sussex\nWinter is almost upon us which means it’s time t
 o cue up the final PHP Sussex session of 2025!\n\nIn ‘Escaping the Code 
 Maze’\, back end consultant and PHP Sussex Host [Yannick Chenot](https:/
 /www.linkedin.com/in/yannickchenot/) encourages us to be more liberal with
  our privates as he guides us through the benefits of being ‘closed by d
 efault’ in the context of Bertrand Meyer’s famous SOLID programming te
 nets.\n\nYannick is a back end consultant at [Yellow Raincoat](https://yel
 lowraincoat.co.uk/).\n\n**The in-person event** will take place at [Runway
  East](https://runwayea.st/?utm_source=SiliconBrighton&utm_medium=email&ut
 m_campaign=Event+Sponsorship&utm_id=Silicon+Brighton+RWE+Sponsorship+email
 ) in Brighton from 6:30 pm (talk at 7 pm). There will be pizza and drinks 
 courtesy of [Tillo](https://www.tillo.io/) – come have a chat before the
  talk! Afterwards we’ll head to [Unbarred Taproom](https://www.unbarredb
 rewery.com/pages/taproom)\, 2 minutes walk from our venue\, to wind up the
  evening over a craft beer 🍺.\n\nExceptionally there won't be a live st
 ream for this event\, so be sure to join us at Runway East!\n\n—\n\n**Es
 caping the Code Maze**\n\nExploring a code base is like navigating a maze 
 with a partial map. While some paths are correctly indicated\, some are mi
 slabelled or turn out to be dead ends. Take a childless class not marked a
 s final\, for instance – the keyword’s absence is like a sign pointing
  to a dark tunnel leading nowhere.\n\nHow many such paths do we accidental
 ly – or deliberately – leave open? This presentation introduces the Cl
 osed-by-Default Principle\, a reframing of existing principles focussed on
  keeping those paths shut\, relieving the developer’s cognitive load in 
 the process.\n\nIt is also an exploration of PHP’s evolution over time\,
  each version introducing features to keep the maze as navigable as possib
 le. We’ll also see how to leverage static analysis tools to automate the
  corresponding rules\, giving developers the assurance that all paths lead
  somewhere.
