Principles:
KISS, DRY, and YAGNI principles and their relationship
Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) based on my previous experience context
Shared context-related code like the Singleton design pattern
SOLID principles
Loose Coupling vs. Tight Coupling, Inversion of Control mechanism
Security:
XSS and SQL injection handling, Auth handling security like use of Cookie HttpOnly
Best practices for storing JWT shared keys (e.g., session storage or secure-flagged cookies)
Testing:
Unit tests: Testing state vs. testing interaction, their relation with the maintainability of the code
Database:
SQL: Different join types, optimizing slow MySQL queries
Comparison between DB engines, mainly InnoDB vs. MyISAM
Strategies for changing a DB field name in production without disrupting other long running processes (maybe discussing transactional differences between engines)
Coding Challenge:
Fixing a state test function without using PHPUnit, but with assertions
The payload transformation encapsulated within a private function (which we need to test), also called by another log function which call logger->log, the logger was not injected rather created by new, so it need ot be injected as an interface (e.g., PSR LoggerInterface) and creating a concrete logger to output the tested payload and assert with the given input of the test assertion function
and maybe others I forgot
