We understand what PHP developers need to thrive, and we've created an environment that delivers.  Close to Legacy-Free Codebase.We know how technical debt and legacy code can turn into quicksand, so we continually eradicate it. Some examples includethe complete rewrite of our notification and payment systemand numerous enhancements made to our course platform.  Consistent Coding Standards.We are proud of our strict coding standards, which is the cornerstone of our clean and maintainable codebase. You can find numerous examples in theIxDF Handbook, which includes our conventions forPHP,Laravel,SQL,JavaScript, andCSS, along with otheruseful resources. You can also find other examples in theIxDF UI Kit,which we’re currently rebuilding into an industry-leading  Design System and ourhandy IxDF component library.  Crystal-Clear Documentation.Clarity is key. Any line of code should be a succinct, well-crafted, and self-explanatory piece of communication to your future self or your colleague. To string things together, we mix in just the right amount of documentation, with best practices such as focusing on the“why?” and keeping it simple.   Focus on what matters: Our CI/CD pipeline uses quality tools such as Psalm, PHPStan, Rector, PHPCS, PHP-CS-Fixer, Deptrac, phpcpd, and ESLint to ensure consistency and code quality. This means we’re almost bug-free despite having numerous, zero-downtime, fully automated deployments to production every day. We don’t like bugs and would rather focus on what matters most.  Test Coverage:“The only way to go fast is to go well - Robert C. Martin”. We love automated testing, especially Unit Tests, and use TDD as much as we can. We've been increasing our test coverage over the years, reaching an overall 38% test coverage throughout the system, with critical systems having over 80%test coverage.  The Stack You Will Work On  #UseThePlatform.
