RIP Around.co 💀 (EoL) Our daily standups always wrapped up with a 5-minute Bomberman battle between the devs—pure chaos and competition.

Ever used the `stub:publish` command when you only needed a few stubs but ended up publishing all ~50 customizable ones?

I’m working on a PR to address this by adding a selection menu so you can choose exactly which stubs to publish. Would love to hear any feedback!

Haha yeah, you go it! Or perhaps something like an attribute on the constructor. 🤔

Still smells a bit funny haha but it's nice that I don't have to type it again.

I think about this often 🤔 – it’d be great to see something like this in a future version of PHP—instantiation on property declaration. I get *why* we do this, but the number of constructors I could clean up... 🧹
