Fantastic keynote, really inspiring! I think it's a shame to read it rubbed of the wrong way for some people. I fully agree you are in control of your own life, responsible for your own luck as you put it. Great to see you're looking back on your life with pride!

It was a well-polished talk by a charismatic speaker, with a good message, but in my opinion, the balance was way off.
About 10 minutes of the talk is spent on the actual message: work hard, be friendly, don't complain. Almost no time was being spent on how to achieve this yourself.
In stead, the rest of the talk was a series of long-winded, ego-stroking stories about how awesome the speaker thinks he is.
I'm aware these stories are supposed to be inspiring, but I think they should have been reduces to about 3 minutes each. So the talk could focus on the lessons themselves and include some practical advice on how to integrate this into your own life.

The talk focused on what the speaker and their team had built, how they built it and how to set it up. A lot of time talking about how to set it up, could have been replaced with 'look at the code samples and read the docs'.
There was little focus on how an AI like this could be implemented into the audiences's workflows and what benefits it would have over other forms of automation.
I would also have liked it, if the talk had started with the demos, so you'd get: "Look what we can do - here's how we did it".

Surprisingly useful! A lot of 'soft skill' talks deal mostly in vagueness and buzz words. You gave some concrete examples of difficult situations, explained why they happen and how to act when they do. Every dev, sales rep and manager should see this talk.

Pretty good introduction to the possibilities of NativeScript for building apps.
I have one suggestion: give us a deeper look into a fully fledged app, like the robot one. In my opinion, the time spent explaining what components there are, how to use the colour schemes, the scrollbar controlled background-music-app, etc. could have been replaced with a short demo and then 'RTFM'. This would have left more time to focus on the more interesting parts.

Nice, practical talk. Shows a multitude of better ways to handle errors in PHP than the often-used "return null or throw an exception and let some other class handle it"-method.

Very good talk. Describes what a CSP is for, when to use it, how to use it and what to look out for. A nice complete introduction of the subject with a good dose of humour. (Yes, with a 'u' in it.)

Great and informative talk.

Loved the fun introduction by talking about actual flags. The talk was a good introduction of feature flags and I now have a good starting point to start using it.

Great talk and a great introduction of Nativescript. Exactly what I hoped to get out of this talk and I got it. Great starting point for me to make my first app.
