Lol, live demos rarely go as planned.

Debugging the problems during your demo just proved that xdebug does work. I've been using it for years and it has saved me so much time and headaches.

Thank you for the talk and xdebug.

4/5 because it was a little monotone, probably due to nervousness.

The topic was well explained and detailed.
Even after 8 years of experience with legacy code, I still learned something new that I can put to good use.

I learned so much from this talk. Thank you.

Amazing talk.

The topic is relevant, eye-opening, and inspiring.
Great speaker.

As room manager that had the pleasure of hosting Sergès two years in a row, I can say confidently that she is the most positive energetic speaker I’ve come across. Her quirky style takes some getting used to and is not for everyone, but at this point she’s on my must-see list for next year’s edition.

Sergés researches interesting but somewhat contentious aspects of developer culture in academic papers, and uses that to lay a solid foundation under her talks that seem lighthearted at the surface and play with the audience, but touch some very fundamental issues. This particular talk examined the issue of developer tribes and what might cause the fighting that you might see people who, at the end of the day, have more commonalities than differences.

Please disregard previous comment. This was posted to the wrong talk. I'll contact admins to get it deleted.

High detail talk given plainly but with relatable examples. Showed us how to use this in the real world and even threw in a few good stories to keep us thinking!

High energy, strong topic, brought the whole audience into the talk and even (albeit accidentally) managed to get everyone dancing along together!

As always Derick is highly knowledgeable on the topic. The demos went a bit wrong but the fact that the tools that were being demonstrated could also be used to fix the demo when it did was a good real life example. Some upcoming Xdebug features sound really interesting too.

Well done also for keeping going when you clearly weren't feeling that well, even considering asking the mic to be turned off when you were having to cough so much - get well soon!

Very thorough talk with good examples of the topic and encouragement on why we should use HTTP3
