Valmont Pehaut Pietri

    Valmont is a developer specializing in PHP/Symfony. After 10 years in sales, he transitioned into web development two years ago. He focuses on backend development, code optimization, and occasionally works with Vue.js.

    He is also active in the tech community through talks and open-source contributions.

    Valmont is also deepening his knowledge in design patterns, software architectures, and preparing for the Symfony certification.

    A big fan of Lorcana, you'll often spot him at conferences, where instead of joining the usual after-work drinks, he'll be training with his friend Jérémy—though, of course, he's always up for both! He's also a craft beer enthusiast, but beware: if you bring up the subject, the conversation could get as intense as a political debate.

      While it works, #[Route(methods: ['GET'])] is a better way to achieve this.
        Indeed, better leverage Symfony Routing capabilities so you can focus on the business logic.
