He wrote some decent articles before, and he might write some good ones in the future, but this right here, this ain't it.
Unlike other "x in 2022" articles (for example https://www.ncameron.org/blog/rust-in-2022-2/), this one doesn't actually give any insight into the future of the language. Not only that, but there is no original content in it. He's simply repeating what he's been writing about for the past year. Maybe he should've called it PHP in 2021? Oh wait, he already did that (https://stitcher.io/blog/php-in-2021) and it's eerily similar to this article. If there is nothing new to write about, why write?
I'm glad you bring up the PHP Annotated Monthly blog, it's a great resource and definitely one of the blogs to follow to keep up to date with PHP.
