Once again, thanks go out to Javier Eguiluz and Symfony for sharing our communiqué in their Week of Symfony.

My opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros.

Symfony

As always, we will start with the official news from Symfony.

Highlight -> This week, we launched the new Twig playground, a tool that lets you test and experiment with Twig features in a safe, sandboxed environment. While Symfony development activity was lighter than usual due to the year-end holidays, we introduced a new is_granted_for_user() function to check authorization for a given user directly in Twig templates.
