Static analysis tools like PHPStan have become essential for PHP developers, and all projects can greatly benefit from custom rules tailored to their specific needs. In this talk, I will guide the audience through the process of writing custom PHPStan rules to enforce project-specific standards and catch domain-specific bugs, and freeing up valuable time by automating repetitive code review tasks.

I've been thinking of creating a custom PHPstan rule for a while. Now I have no excuse.
