cool talk
now i want to learn what composer is. i need to get out of my cave. maybe tomorrow.
Very motivating talk. A visit to the Rabbi is something every developer should do several times a year to keep on track growing in our craft!
A very honest look at the mistakes made when developing a largish application. I think every developer has made most of the same mistakes at least once in their careers.
why the f are you cursing so much.
f!!!
what i learned: when there's a problem, don't freak out and jump to conclusions. take a deep breath and focus on the problem, not solution.
what i thought i was going to learn: techniques and ways of thinking that are out of the norm.
i agree with liz's comment. re-reading the talk description makes sense now, but putting in bold print "not a technical talk" would help re's like me
There was some great advice and suggestions in here. It would have been great to at least conclude with a slide or two of specific debugging techniques and tools that are available. The presentation was clear and had some good stories that drove points home. I enjoyed this.
the information was great and very thorough. but i think the delivery of the content could've been better (more energy).
since there were so many good questions. i would highly recommend you doing a part 2 for this talk. approaching it from real world scenarios and walking through the steps.
I enjoyed the talk - it identified things that I find I already do that help add the "intuition" level to debugging. Now I understand what I'm "intuitively" doing and can maybe help others understand these techniques
I would note that the abstract should probably point out this is not a hard technical talk but more of a "how your brain works" talk, I was expecting a little bit more on the technical side of debugging.
I also would LOVE to see a bit on some ideas for how to TEACH this stuff to beginning developers - exercises or how to slow down the C levels freakouts when things go wrong :)
Energetic and knowledgeable speaker. High quality presentation. Good stress on the fundamentals/concepts.
The cursing is unnecessary, the talks are shorter than the time allotted, and "Logging, Monitoring, Security!" contains little to no useful information around security..
