Great technical talk Levi! Loved the in depth description of how each works, pitfalls to watch out for, use cases for each, and best practices. Handled the projected problem well. Loved the code examples! Examples were a little small, hard to read.

So much fun. I needed something light and entertaining, but now I feel as though I could actually build a simple Alexa app if I wanted to.

Really fun to see how you can scratch an itch with the skills you have. Also your beer is amazing, Alexa has really helped you.

Everything I want our industry leaders to hear, delivered in classic Grumpy fashion. I really appreciated Chris' vulnerability and approach of "this is what they promised us, this is what they delivered, and this is what we should *want* out of LLMs".

I enjoyed the content and made a lot of great points. A little repetitive at times (beyond reiteration of points). Must watch the timing - running late affects all sessions following (not just the one in the same room).

Really enjoyed this. Servers are not a subject I know a lot about, or am normally very excited about, but Kurtis has such infectious enthusiasm. I learned a lot, and will be trying this out in a personal project.

This is the talk I wish I had ten years ago, covering all of the database fundamentals that all engineers should be familiar with. Unless your team has a dedicated DBA, this talk is a must for any developer that has to put data into a database.

A great overview of all of the common mistakes that folks make when attempting to localize applications, offering practical solutions. Easy to follow, presented well, and super useful!

Technical issues aside, this talk is full of great information and strategies for upgrading PHP for any non-trivial applications. I'm currently in the midst of a PHP upgrade like the one described in this talk, and I've been using the strategies I picked up from Andy when I first saw this talk (Longhorn PHP 2023).

Lot's a great info. Perhaps showing an attack (rather than just telling) somehow help keep the audience engaged.
