+  How do you write your PHP code?

+
+Something that came up in my discussion with Dave Liddament for the Beyond Blocks podcast was that there seem to be two ways of writing PHP code.
+
+One is writing strict code by enabling strict typing, using parameter and return types, and leveraging tools like PHPStan at a high level to analyze code.
+
+The other is no not use types and to use a more "duck typing" approach.
+
+The term "visual debt" came from a video discussing the pros and cons of these approaches.
+
+The same can be said for JavaScript and TypeScript, but PHP can do both and gives the Developer the choice of how they write their code.
+
+I prefer writing strict code and for my code to be as explicit as possible, but I appreciate not everyone does and I like that PHP caters for both.
+
+How do you write your PHP code?
