I found this talk pretty disappointing. I did not expect a talk about just TDD and patterns, as neither of these terms are mentioned in the abstract. Based on the abstract I would have expected more content about agile processes/way of thinking and getting feedback early.

Also the concepts that were treated, I think the amount of useful content was a bit low. Apart from 'do TDD' there were little takeaways or lessons. Telling that a friend has built an e-commerce system using TDD (without going deeper into the challenges, struggles and choices) does not add much value in my opnion.

For me this talk was a bit of a disappointment. The abstract seems to suggest that the content would go beyond SOLID in terms of level, but it felt like a more basic treatment of value objects and defensive programming. Would have expected some more content about OOP as 'message passing' instead of 'we have classes and objects'. Very clearly presented though.

Nice talk, but would have preferred some more content about the tradeoffs involved in your approach, also with regards to testability. Also, I think the message you're trying to get across is easily understood: instead of a gentle introduction to bounded contexts people might have interpreted it as an advice to create a separate datamodel for every (small) feature. That might be something to watch out for.

Presented with enthusiasm and humor. A little too much sports for my taste maybe, and therefore slightly low on content. I would have liked some more practical tips to make the transition from storming to norming easier. Apart from that, great topic.

Great talk, and well-delivered. Nice that you're addressing the trade-offs that come with characterisation tests.

Great history lesson with a positive message. Just slightly too long for my taste. You could probably get the message across with half of the examples. Apart from that, very inspirational.

Best talk of the conference, on every point: content, message, delivery...

An important topic, and the speaker has a lot of things to share on this, but felt that they tried to cover too much ground in a short period of time. Give more time to the last section of the talk, and it'll be better, I'm certain.

Great delivery, great content, and most importantly, great discussion at the end!

Great talk on a very important topic. Loved the tips!
