Have had a small human staying for a couple of weeks, she absolutely adores #ThomasTheTankEngine. If #ringostarr had only ever done Thomas, his legacy would be secure. 🤣

I see #symfony 7.4 has deprecated request->get(), we should now specify if it’s a route attribute, a query, or from the POST. It will be gone in #symfony 8, another task for the #bau task list. #php
