Although most of the topics covered weren't exactly new to me, it was interesting to hear about both your opinions and practical experience. I would have liked a bit more levity to break up the rather dry summation of points. While you explained all the concepts that were on your slides quite well, I do feel that the slides *were* the talk, rather than *supporting* the talk.

Marco did an extremely good job of describing the process he went through at code-reviews.io. If anything, there was a bit too much that he covered in a mere 45 minutes. Covering the same amount of information in an 60 or even 75 minutes would allow it to land with the audience a bit better, imho. The topic deserves it.

The concepts of ReactPHP intrigue me and I definitely got the impression that the speaker was both knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. On the other hand, the presentation technique was a little bland and unengaging. It would benefit the speaker to get more practice in engaging the audience. I would have liked to see some use-cases from real-world projects where ReactPHP has been used and the problems it solves or how it was an improvement over previous solutions. Even if those are just summarised, I think it would help convince the audience of how cool ReactPHP can be.

A very humorous tale and an intriguing idea. In addition to re-evaluating the way we approach problems, it also occurred to me that "stupid" challenges like these are also a great way to expand one's knowledge of the facilities PHP offers in its standard library.

I really liked the quality of your slides. It's nice to see how things are done in different development fields.

I don't think going deeper into event sourcing would benefit the talk. It would have slowed down the overall message and there had been enough talks about event sourcing during the conference already.

Would have been nice to see the game in live action. :)

Great talk. Got good inspirations from it, thanks! :)

Overall very useful, though some of the scenarios and tip were a bit too specific for my tastes (particularly the information about NUMA zones -- while good to know -- got more attention than I think it deserved considering how unlikely it is that this will be a serious issue for most).

Easily one of the best talks of the conference.

Great message enthusiastically brought.

Amazing job!

As someone with limited exposure to feature flags, this talk was pretty enlightening. It's a nice introduction to swivel too, although I didn't end up very convinced of it's benefits over a homebrew centralized flag manager. Definitely gave me a few new points to consider when deciding on implementing feature flags.

Great presenting, and a lot of new insights gained in how to apply microservices, and how to make them play nice.
