Composer - Please Don't Use --ignore-platform-reqs Flag

Below is a video demonstrating why I don't believe anyone should make use of the --ignore-platform-reqs flag when using Composer. Instead, one should take the time to specify the environment that the packages will be run in. It is too difficult to demonstrate with pure text, so I decided to make a video one evening after seeing another person use it.


The video is available on YouTube as well in case you have any problems playing it.
