Great talk about overcoming issues and lot of problems about mental health we have in our tech community (altought some of the issues are US specific, things like healthcare)
Thank you for opening up yourself, I'm not that brave and not sure if I will ever find that strength
Lots of great info and good techniques to put data behind your request to spend time on refactoring.
Good content (and good concrete examples), though you should've tightened up each archetype so you could get through the entire presentation in the allotted time, rather than skipping over the last several archetypes, then having to go back to one of the skipped items during question time.
Additionally, moving text from slides to linked information + speaker notes to avoid having attendees just read your slides, then get lost as they switch contexts back to listening to you, would probably let the presentation flow better and contribute to a tighter presentation as well.
Great entry point for would-be OSS contributorsfrom a major voice in the OSS community.
What Steve said. Flow could've been cleaned up to give you an extra 3-4 minutes of talk time, which would've allowed for a deeper dive on pieces of the process, or allowed time for questions.
Street tacos were pretty great (and better than lunch fare), churros were tasty, drink selection (alcohilic and otherwise) was solid (they ran out partway through, but replenished shortly thereafter, so not a huge deal). JeoPHPardy was a bit rough, but nothing that can't be fixed next year. I didn't participate in the games, but they looked fun :)
Great mix of information and persuasion.
Lots of great examples to reinforce the point. We are responsible for what we build.
This was a great breakdown of what is one of the most crucial tools in our toolbox. Learned alot about how Composer handles dependency resolution and how it makes the autoloader.
Great talk!
