A really good talk, well presented and good content in the slides from what I remember.

My only issue as such was first half and last half didn't necessarily gel that well, it felt like you talked about defensive programming really well, then you talked about your tools for doing an analysis but never really tied it back to how your tools would change things for a dev. Might be worth while having an example project where you ran the tools showing what you detected and give the audience something actionable for themselves. For example, in an example project with some glaring static problems, show what came back in the results and then quickly resolve and show the tool. Maybe provide a workflow for how you fit doing that static analysis into your development because it's something a lot of devs don't use still in my opinion.

I say this as someone who has installed Larastan and Insights before the talk but still haven't got to grips with it and found it generating a lot of noise and not knowing from the docs how to make it apart of my processes.

not only a really great introduction to building your own packages but also a great example of TDD.

really wish this had been filmed so I could share with a few people.

Really enjoyed this one too. Loved the presentation style and I'm sure it's stuff that all developers have experienced, can relate to and learn from.

Great talk! Entertaining real-world examples presented in an engaging way by a presenter who clearly knows what they're talking about! :-)

I must confess that I was not properly caffeinated to follow everything, although I found the topic interesting, and I will definitely try to research more about it.

Awesome live code demo and brilliant content.

Really interesting talk amazing real-world examples!

It was very interesting to hear Taylor talking about his personal life, why he created Laravel and what he wanted to achieve. Very refreshing after 6 technical talks.

I have been very impressed by your live coding skills. I did not know your package and I will definitely try it very soon. I am not ready to publish public packages, but I will start with pieces of software I use in my projects.
