Talk comments
Good information and helpful tips. Could be slowed down a little bit. Expand upon the levels during the talk (rather than at the end).
Good overview for those of us who haven't used or read about PHP Stan.
Good talk with good information on how to write and revamp resumes to optimize them for noticeability. Not sure we needed to intro everyone in the room, especially when people can be uncomfortable with that, could instead ask audience what they are looking for out of the talk or what they want help with.
Great deep dive into Unicode vs UTF-8 and explaining the differences and when you use one vs the other. I do wish you had given the graphene_* functions more billing and a bit more explanation around when to use the plain vs mb_ vs graphene_ version of various string functions. That might have been a bit more beneficial to developers than the bit level break down of what UTF-8 looks like on the wire. (Though admittedly, that was clearly well appreciated in the room.)
Great intro level presentation to REST and HTTP and how the two are tied together.
Informative and entertaining. I have used some of these tools, but I feel much better informed about the pros and cons. And I think I'm now a mermaid convert. Thank you.
A rare voice on the speaker circuit. I appreciate the overview of modern diagram tools.
Great song
Of the lunches, I liked this one the most (given "we have tacos at home"); having multiple spice levels of sauce was a nice touch.
Great points about how important communication is to principal engineers, and how much diagrams help with that. Wonderful song break in the middle too! Loved seeing the massive list of things Mermaid can do now.
