Big topic. Would have like to see an example implementing, for example, OpenID.

Question about the workflow: in Staging, bug fixes are done in a temp-staging branch and merged back in to Staging. How do these bug fixes get propagated back to the Development branch?

Entertaining and informative session.

Big topic, left me wanting more in-depth coverage. Good presentation style.

High-level of functional programming, focussing on
* values
* functions
* types

Discussion of functional programming and testability was appreciated.

Did not understand the concept of "Functional programming is about 'shape'".

Good examples demonstrating the use of helper objects to clarify controller logic. Would have liked to see more of the business logic taken out of controller altogether though.

Entertaining presentation using case studies to demonstrate attack mechanisms

Good presentation. Nice mix of information and live demo. Just the right amount information without getting to hung up on the myriad commands and settings. This will definitely improve my development environment

Good bird's-eye overview of Amazon's vast array of services.

Nice overview of an eye-opening topic: it's hard to discuss in depth without focussing on a single technology. I like Felix's emphasis on the important areas: logging, metrics, alerts, and health-checks implemented in your services. Pointers to good tools (e.g. logstash, graphite, ...)
