Together with my buddy Mattias Geniar, I run Oh Dear, an uptime checker service on steroids.

How to check which version of PHP you are running
When working on open source code, I like using the latest version of PHP. When developers that are not on the latest version use the package, they might see syntax errors.
You might ask why Composer doesn't protect against this? When composer.json requires the latest version, how do devs, not on the latest version, can even install the package?
