For starters, I think that all developers should practice information hiding / working with immutable (or readonly) properties and objects. This forces people to write better code, that is not opened to side-effects and doesn't invite bugs. In PHP ecosystem, it's sometimes hard to reason, as these features started being introduced into the language not that long ago (this especially got better with readonly properties introduced in PHP 8.1 and onwards). PHP was (and to some extent still is) very prominent towards strict typing and other great concepts, that other mature object-oriented programming language enjoy for years now.
