DomCode 2016
4 Nov 2016 at Centraal Museum

I'm rating this as a keynote - and as such it should make you question yourself and inspire. I didn't feel that as much as I would have liked from -what I hope- is a future prominent figure in politics in the netherlands.
More real world examples on the damage of being "the product" for regular people would be nice, and maybe a little more on what we (and you) can do about it.

I saw this talk before - not sure how I rated it back then; but I do remember the main complaint was that it wasn't structured enough. I'm happy to report that that has improved, in my opinion this is now a full-scale five-star talk by a very entertaining speaker.

Felienne did not deliver a talk, she told a story - and she told it well. She could stand on any stage and rock it, bringing complex topics in a very understandable way. Best talk I saw at DomCode.

Good solid speaker that radiates knowledge of the subject. Although the picture being painted is a bit bleak, this is a talk worth hearing (and acting on).

It's just a 5 star talk because of the way it was delivered. Anjana really binds the audience from beginning to end. I did not learn anything new but I can see this type of talk as very valuable because every year there are so many people introduced to programming.

I was a lot less impressed with the talk than I was with the Pony language. I'm afraid the content was just way to focussed on what went into building the language, and way to little on what can actually be built with it.
(or maybe I'm just not smart enough to understand what was being sold)

That being said, the speaker was very energetic and enthusiastic and that does make up for a lot.

I really liked this talk, because even if you take away the monolith to microservices backstory, you still have some very solid advice on how to get acceptance for a big change within an organisation and within a development team.

Pretty good advice, and I'd sure watch the full-length version of that talk.

Yep. Still good. Moar calisthenics!

I did not expect this talk to be the top of the day. But it delivered!

Felliene spoke in a clear and calm tone while still being immensely enthusiastic about the research. And well deserved, because it will be more and more important for kids to think in a logical and structured way. Teaching them about code smells in an early age will help those that will be programming (or doing similar jobs) in the future do their job better!
