All very relevant and serving as a nice heads-up to self!

Very well delivered and highly relevant talk, loved the link with nuclear safety

Very well delivered talk and a good refresher. Now lets put it in practice!

Very funny and energetic talk, albeit wisdom and insights were very near! Thanks!

Damien is always entertaining, and he made a good job of presenting this. I feel it's ultimately quite a dull subject that is very hard to breathe life into, plus it is partly speculative given that PHP 9 is a long way off, but it was well presented and informative nonetheless.

This was an entertaining talk, poking fun at language/framework/editor rivalries with retro-themed slides and a quiz. There was time for Q&A, and this mainly involved light-hearted cross-language slanging. I mentioned that I'd written a song about PHP, and Sergès demanded it be played immediately. The AV guy obliged and I ended up singing it too, and as Mike said, the audience seemed to enter into the spirit of things. A very unusual talk, with an extraordinarily unusual ending for me! Thank you Sergès!

An excellent choice for a keynote. Great content, and a good message. Mike's delivery was super smooth, not even missing a beat when the sound cut out momentarily.

This talk was really eye-opening regarding the worldwide social impacts software development can have and got me to think more.
Mike is such a captivating speaker that his words stay with you long after he’s finished talking.

Great talk. Very hands on with a good balance in explaining the tools but not diving to deep.

Great talk. Derick breathes Xdebug and you clearly get that from his talks. Even a cold and demo gods that weren't on his side couldn't not stop him.
