Talk comments

I was very fortunate to spent some time with Gabi at Laracon and found her to be a very inspiring person. I too, did not think about our industry and diversity much over the last 15 years but Gabi made me think and I thank her for that.

Your presentation contained a great message and with a little polish will help many more people think and make our great industry even better. I hope you can reach many more people with your passion and hope you get invited to talk at many more events.

Side note: also a great person to have a beer or two with.

Great talk, funny and informative, whoever you are!

"Windows", right? Although I knew pretty much everything that was covered in the talk, I had fun. Sometimes I forget that not everybody is using this yet, which is almost weird. This talk explained and showed how and why very nicely. Also, provisioning a box, on stage, live? ... Respect. Does do a good job of proving the point.

I would like to see attention distributed more evenly across different kinds of discrimination so that the talk itself can raise more awareness about more biases that people may then find in themselves.

I think we can safely say, we all got Ross Tuck'd. Also, Morgan Freeman eat your hart out.

A super practical explanation of a super theoretical topic. It sparked a lot of great conversations afterwards.

Fun and engaging presentation. I liked the format and flow very much. Many good points were given. I do however see an opportunity for a more conceptual, overview-like reasoning which explain how annotations are more an external policy than it is an internal one. Especially in this conference, where many people use AR instead of DM for their ORM solution and associate annotations with doctrine and therefor the ORM.

This was by far the most progressive talk of the day. In many ways abstract but also so concrete in "thinking outside of the box". It was entertaining, bind bending and inspirational. Thank you for this. Great call on not having all the questions at the end, it gave people a chance to catch up, wrap their heads around the impressive stream of information which was coming their way.

Great presentation. Using the point of view or redefining what a good result represents and using the right tool for it is awesome. As I've said in person, jumping around is fun, don't overdo it ;) I'd love to see a more in-dept talk about this too.
