* How we grow the Symfony ecosystem. Built abstracts.
* HttpFoundation, HttpKernel
* Moved to infrastructure
* A few abstractions on top of PHP. Improved versions of PHP functions (`dump`)
* Started a add higher level abstractions (e.g. Mailer), built on the lower ones.

* Recently worked on PHPUnit assertions. Mailer in Symony 4.4. Can test if an email is sent or queued
