Great examples and delivery. I especially liked how you didn't present SOLID as a dogma that should be blindly followed, but as principle that may be useful to stick to, depending on the context of the project. Thank you for this nicely balanced point of view.

Great to see what's possible nowadays, awesome demos!

Nice combination between technical and 'soft'/philosophical content.

Great way to see how the PHP-FIG operates under the hood and get the latest updates on current topics.

Great talk, it really opened my eyes to a whole bunch of new SQL features.

Great talk, amazing stage presence, and an impressive level of live coding. Even as someone who does not use WordPress on a regular basis, I found this a useful talk; it surely showed me what WordPress is capable of nowadays.

I found this a great talk, and liked seeing how Go AOP works under the hood.

I already knew a thing or two about (Go) AOP and the tricks you use to implement it, but I can understand some of the confusion that (judging by the questions) other attendees probably had. It might help to reorder you content to introduce AOP and what you can do with it before showing things like the stream filter tricks. That may make it more clear why you would want to extend final classes or access private variables.

I definitely enjoyed seeing the next level black magic with z-engine!

This was a great talk, drawing a lot from personal experience. It's great that you set expectations upfront, but even as someone with almost 15 years of experience I still found it useful to listen to your talk. Some things may be known, but it's still good to hear them again once in a while.

Interesting talk that made me think about all the possibilities of transpiling in PHP.

I found the thread of the talk a bit difficult to follow though. It might be because I probably wasn't fully recovered from giving my own talk in the slot before, but I think the jumps back and forth between examples, theory and tools made this a bit harder. Perhaps reordering some content might help. The takeaway was also a bit unclear in my eyes, or at least (given the state of tooling and IDE support) slightly unsatisfactory.

Great delivery and stage presence.

Great keynote that set the tone for the rest of the conference. Nice personal touches and stories.
