Presentation: Automate away with the Symfony Console Component
Developers do a lot of things over and over again, from sending user alerts to outage notifications to creating all kinds of classes. Why not automate it? With a single library, the Symfony Console Component, we can write commands that let us scaffold classes, alert users, post notifications, and more. With this tool, we can look at ways for small teams and solo developers to write commands that can help save money too!
