Talk comments
Ben's talk topic had some overlap with mine, so this was of great interest to me. I would like to have seen more on the multiple streaming mechanism, less on the history. Ben has nicely styled slides and great presentation skills.
The ultra fast talking speed might be a little difficult to follow for some, but it was an absolutely great talk: clear, informative, interesting... and lots of fun. Awesome work.
I would have loved to see some more live examples on how ES works under the hood and how simulations can be done or how new read models can be added to show data previously ignored. Some mention of snapshots or a glimpse on infrastructure would have been nice, also.
Overall it was a good talk, though it was probably better if you also attended the CQRS/ES workshop.
Some good content covering important points, but James has a habit of undermining himself - he claimed at various points to not be a security expert, not be a programmer, not be a sysadmin - so what are you?? Believe in yourself! The slides could use some polish, and please say "right" less!
loved this talk, nice story about what goes behind the scenes when you want to contribute to the PHP core language. Sometime I hope to contribute as well, but first I need to learn a lot about PHP.
It's always good to hear someone talk that absolutely knows their stuff, and Sebastian certainly knows his testing! This talk covered the generalities and motives for testing without getting lost in details.
I liked this talk very much. Erika is very enthusiastic and actually sounds happy about what she's talking about! Good concise examples, simple demos, and a convincing overall message.
Great talk on a difficult schedule. It is hard to keep audience interest at the first talk after the social night, and Ben did it. Good job, it certainly raised my interest on the ELK stack.
Though I deeply appreciate the effort, the talk was really slow and flat and totally lacked rythm. I feel that many more interesting aspects of Varnish and caching in general could have been looked into; ESI for one was barely mentioned. Maybe some real world examples and metrics before/after caching, live demos or tricky caching scenarios would have added a bit of interest to the talk.
Again, I appreciate the effort and encourage both to continue with the good work they've put on the talk to improve it for future events.
Given that the topic is interesting but essentially just a big list, this was a tough job to bring to life, but Davey did a great job, livened up with entertaining anecdotes.
