🤔 Have you installed `laravel-ray` as a dev dependency?
👀 Make sure to remove every `ray()` call in the code before deploying. Otherwise, your production application might break.
💡 An easy way to remove all calls is by running `php artisan ray:clean`.

🐘 Using strict_types is often thought to stop type juggling in PHP.
🤔 But did you know that's not exactly true?
💡 Declaring strict_types will prevent other types from being passed into a function, but you can still change the variable type inside the function itself.
