Great presentation on refactoring which used practical examples to demonstrate the downsides of rewriting entire codebases.

Excellent talk about the pros of refactoring. A little more time covering refactoring best practices would have been worthwhile.

Enjoyed this talk, showing us that you can start unit testing even with code you are unfamiliar with is something I have alway thought was missing.

Very well prepared talk. The real life examples really brought the points home.

This was a really great talk! It's rare to be able to hear from someone that has the kind of knowledge and background you do about security and is still so keyed into the community. You have a great stage presence that is entertaining and edifying. You kept the audience engaged the whole way through, and there was enough content that I felt like I learned a lot and was inspired to learn more.

I thought this was a great presentation with good pacing and beautiful slides. I really enjoyed the first half. There was a lack of examples in second half, but you were able to at least touch on all of the important tools and metrics for those that have not heard of them.

This is an important and useful topic, and I could tell that the attendees found value in the presentation. The pacing was a little off: too slow in some parts, too fast in others. I liked the jokes you included, which were definitely refreshing and helped pull people back in, but I also would have liked to see more animation/excitement from you throughout the presentation to better keep people following along.

Keith Casey has a great presentation style that engages the audience and captures attention. I enjoyed this talk a lot.

I popped in for a few minutes to see what was going on, and I saw a lot of learning happening. I have know doubts that the attendees found this workshop to be extremely helpful.

Adam's casual but confident presentation style is always nice, and always comes with a world-class smile. The topic was a great choice and one that everyone needs to be refreshed on regularly. However, I felt that this talk scratched too many surfaces, and did not provide the level of technical depth the audience wanted and that I know Adam is very capable of delivering.
