Recently I was working on a project that required the addition of allowing JSON uploads in the media library. While I knew there was a filter for this, it did take some digging to understand why JSON uploads were treated as text/plain (and should be marked as such).
Recently I started contributing to an Open Source WordPress plugin and unfortunately I kept hitting a wall with the process timeout caused when installing Composer dependencies.
After some research, I found several ways to by-pass this timeout, one of which was decided to implement in the package.

The recommended way of disabling the Composer timeout is on each script execution, using the builtin method provided by Composer: Composer\Config::disableProcessTimeout. Doing so keeps the timeout setting specific to tasks and does not pass this setting to other scripts or processes.
