Fast paced well presented concise intro to Behat and BDD.
Informative talk with ideas for calibrating your estimates, relevant for dealing with political forces and interests. Kept a good pace for understanding and note taking. "Math is your friend." "Do not negotiate your estimate!" ...
Solid introduction to the concept of workers (and queues), as well as a very common use case to show the need.
Useful information presented in a fun manner.
Brilliant. The concepts Justin championed are extraordinarily compelling, especially the lovely stairway between user and programmer. An achievable path where moving up is no longer such a hard climb. Justin's right - bicycles are more sustainable than cars. He said, "No conspiracy is necessary to maintain the status quo." Wow. Interesting thought to contemplate. I have been exploring many languages and platforms wondering where I want to land. There are fervent supporters for many platforms, but the open source source communities have something the others don't. I think Justin hit upon that. If bicycles for the mind are going to become a reality... they will be open source. :)
As the main estimator for our company, my estimation skills are lacking. This was a great talk to help clear the mist.
Great content, and good to have this information put into one place.
The idea was brilliant: looking back at where we are now. The retro-style slides were great, too.
The content and the execution were quite lacking. I missed a lot of the main points, and it was a little hard to understand.
The concept was really interesting. Loved the slides! I think the verbal aspect of the presentation could've used a little more polish - for example, perhaps some of the main points could be emphasized more (by talking slower, using repetition, or pausing) to differentiate them from everything else and let them sink in. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed looking at this topic from a new perspective.
