+  I wrote a custom PHPStan rule!

+
+Today, I watched a video recording of a session by Ondřej Mirtes - the creator of PHPStan - on writing custom rules for PHPStan.
+
+After explaining how to write them, he showed some examples of custom rules - one of which was ensuring a `Person` class couldn't be created outside of a `PersonRepository` class.
+
+This seemed straightforward so I thought about how I could do something similar within my [Drupal automated testing email course][0] to check my Drupal code.
+
+Similar to Ondřej's example, I wondered if I could enforce that no post nodes should be created outside of the `PostBuilder` class by searching for any code like `Node::create(['type' => 'post'])`.
+
+I was able to get a version working quickly and have [posted it as a gist][1].
+
+I'm sure some improvements can be made, but it was a successful experiment and something I can see me using more in the future.
