I was inspired by your talk to look again at what queuing can do for for my applications. I had been using queues for sending registration emails, but I will now consider using them for other requests as well. You gave enough information to get me started without overwhelming me with details. You presented well and clearly know your subject.

There were, however, a few points that could easily be improved upon:
- There were several slides with code that was too small for those of us in the back to see.
- The title was a bit misleading in that I expected a general overview on queue-based refactoring, rather than a rundown of what you did in one particular case. Something like: 'My experience in refactoring using RabbitMQ' might have kept my expectations in check. I probably should have read the full description more closely.
- The narrative could be stronger: Since this was your experience in tackling queues, make it personal. Make it an adventure. I would like to have heard more about what you struggled with, what made you crazy and how you were able to find brilliant solutions that enabled you to finally slay the RabbitMQ dragon.

Overall, I think it was a fine talk, well worth the time. Keep it up.
