Fun speaker and quite brave to address some pretty complex stuff. Interesting and relevant ideas although in a couple of cases the practical consequences seemed a bit far-fetched.

A quite thorough breakdown of microservices. Focused on the practical side and drawing from diverse topics such as TDD, CI, etc. Great talk which brings the microservice hype back to the ground.

Technical but very funny keynote, although I could imagine that this was not easy to follow for everyone. I loved the way of talking, the sarcasm, the jokes. Great job, well done! Thanks for the insights in the magic of PHP!

Like always Joshua delivered a great talk, as always with a unique but interesting topic. Entertaining, recognizable and relevant for every developer. Well done!

Hey Denitz, Frits,

The talk had no point at all - just a lot of terrible practices, where/when they are useful and a lot of fun around it ?

The pace was way to fast to remember all the tricks, but that was absolutely not an issue. It fun so see how you can improve your productivity in such an awesome tool as PHPStorm is. Great speaker, funny and meaningful talk!

I hoped to hear a lot about high-level backup and restore strategies and the difficulties with microservices in this context. Unfortunately this talk was a deep dive in a single backup tool (written in PHP). Although I really like the concept of backup config as code (same as infrastructure as code), I don't believe PHP is the right tool for backup jobs. Nevertheless has Sebastion good presenter skills.

Good keynote! Was quite funny, as I think a lot of us have been there implementing magic ;) Maybe not a keynote you can get much out of, but a nice closer for the conference.

Great talk. Definitely funny. Very insightful. Compared to other keynotes however it felt a little rough. I also wasn't really sure where the talk was going. We went from one code snippet to another without much context. Speaking style was a little rough.

Great talk! It was very interesting to see how we can apply these security principles from the physical situations to software development. It definitely made me think more about security and how to tackle it. It was a little abstract, which normally wouldn't have been a problem for me, but the time slot (last slot on the 2nd day) made it a little much :)
